Billy Walsh Right

DIIiJ WdlSU T1iShs
And he was about right. Tommy Walsh
I(no relation to the others) was hooteo
| by the denizens of the upper story, but
when he came out with an explanation ol
Bily's Wall street figuring there were nc
more howls against the arbiter of the
evenings doings. :,
Billy followed in Jacks footsteps II
the third round of his mill with Kid
Berry. All the way through Walsh was
doing nearly all the punching and while
he did not have Berry in bad way at
all he had a lead that would have given
him the go had 1t gone|the limit
| But this was not to be. Coming out OF
ciinch in the third spasm Berry hooked
over a short left for the kidneys and i'm,
medately followed with well time
punch to the stomach. Walsh dropped like
diately hurled in from his corner was un,
necessary He was down and out and
could not have gone on even though he
had been given a minutes rest: :.
The best bout of the night, although IL
was not carded as the head liner, was the
Arnold-Donovan mill. which opened the
performance. Arnold caught, Donoyan
with some awful punches and had him
bleeding like a stuck pig all the way
through, but the Irishman was there at
the end and in good shape to go on He
ing the six rounds: but in between peri
ods made up for all the punishment Ar
mold gave him.
The fifth round was something fierce.
| lives, and mixed it for further orders.
Donovan went after Arnold at the tap of
the gong but Jake b vas bdn tnee Go1n a tae or
count after good rally; Both lads were
tired at the end and Walsh's decision of a
draw was all to the good.
Battling Swanson and Roy Doan went
through six good periods for the second
number on the program, and the Swede
was there for the decision at the end d of OF
won by a city block, but he was afraid to
get in and lead Doan out and at the fin
ish was given the verdict because he had
shown more cleverness and landed the
greater number of times. Doan was
strong at the end, and might have done
things to Swanson had the bout gone
further.
johnson Good Boy
Scotty johnson and Guy Martin, fur
evening, but Scotty had the edge all the
way through and had his opponent in such
a bad way that Walsh was forced to stop
the slaughter in the fifth round; Johnson
did something that most preliminary boys
\ would not think of doing-refusing to
knock his opponent out because, he did not
care to punish him unnecessarily.
Martin opened up with a Jimmy Britt
Eddie Hanlon-J ohnny Regan crouch, and
for a while he appeared to have a chance
with Scotty. But in the third period John
son brought the Pasadena lad out of his
! crouch. and after he had him straight
began to wallop him all over the ring.
| Martin was game enough and willing to
take a beating, but in the next) round
| Johnson began to ask Walsh to stop 1t.
This Tommy refused to do, so in the fifth
Scotty started in to finish it. He tore in
and put Martin, to, the floor with a series
| forced to stop counting long before the
| fatal ten had been reached
Eddie Meeney and Young Terry Mccoy
ern furnished the windup for the. even
| ings performance in ten-round bout
which went the limit. McGovern was not
lacking in gameness nor aggressiveness,
ness, and after outpointng Terry for ten
rounds was given a decision. Some of the
crowd thought that McGovern ought, to
have been given a draw at least, but
Tommy Walsh was there with the wise
noodle and gave it to the clever Menney.
McCarey will spring another Of the same
ability the winners of last nights bouts
will appear in action again.
