TRYOUT CARD
THE CANDY
MONEY LOST BY MccAREY ON
GREAT SHOW
Bouts All Go Limit with Exception
Of WIndup-Mceovern Stamps
Himself as Boy with
Class


OF 800 bucks. A man by the name oil
Pluvius stuck his nose into the anair
and a scanty house was on hand at the
Cabin to see one of the best tryout
cards ever manipulated here. Had many
of those who stayed away known what
was in store for them it's cinch bet
they would have braved the sloppy
weather and ambled down to the shrine
of the padded fist.
Every one of the bouts was good. Inc
feature of the nights show was Young
Terry McGovern. Here is boy with
that class we've been looking Tor IN the
feathers for years.
Terry took the fun to Carroll through
out. and made him like the gaff. In
fact, Carroll ate it, and those fans VINO
had heard about what wonder Jimmy
was wondered where the wonder part
came in. Jimmy is fast and he is a
clever fighter, but without doubt
Young McGovern last night outfougnt
him. outboxed him and outslugged him
from the first tap of the gong.
Joe Smith and Danny Webster led on
the evenings entertainment with ten
rounds of hard work.
Webster started out with bull rushes
and Smith backed away looking for
chance to counter. The first five rounds
went much in favor of Webster. lie
landed many swings and Joe was unable
to get back at him. In the sixth Joe
began to even things up and in the
seventh he went after his man and
found that he could might as well as
Danny. In the eighth Joe staggered
Webster several times and in the last
two he landed often enough to give him
a Walsh decision.
Walsh Makes Mistake
Tommy Walsh made another mistake
last night In giving Kid Dalton the fight
over Jimmy Ford, and the fans were JUS
titled in venting their vociferous dis
pleasure at the decision.
Ford outclassed Dalton all the way,
landed terrific left to the jaw in the
third that threw the kids head back and
gave Dalton such an awful lacing in the
seventh that his fighting in that round
alone won him the fight Ford knocked
Dalton around like a doll in the seventh
and placed a staggering right cross to the
law. In the tenth Ford was the ag-
gressor throughout, landing left and right
body punches at will and finally smashing
Dalton between the eyes just as the gong
rang. Ford should have had the fight
easily, but Tommy Walsh is so good at
the game that the fans forgave him that
one slip, and his decisions on the other
f1g0tS were received Will SeileTdi ldNOA'
The Frisco contingent flashed all kinds
of money at 5 to on Carroll, and when
Young McGovern stood up beside the
Golden Gate pride the reason was OBJ
vious Explanations were due, and Tom
McCarey FASTENED to coach Cooke as to
how to deliver the explaining. Cooke ''ex-
planned to the effect that, although it
had been given out that the boys would
weigh in at 3 o'clock at 10S pounds, Jimmy
hadn't been informed and so had not at
tempted to make weight.
Carroll claimed that he only weighed
112, but he looked over lis, and made mat
ters worse by absolutely refusing to go
on the scales, although McGovern offered
to fight, no matter what he weighed, just
so Carroll would consent to step on the
Fairbanks.
Young Terry McGovern weighed 103
pounds, and his showing last night against
a man to whom he gave away at least
twelve pounds was wonderful.
Carroll Can't Land
Carroll was unable to land telling
blow during the first five rounds, while
McGovern beat him easily on pure boxing,
scoring three points to Jimmys one.
They spent the first round in feeling out.
In the second McGovern blocked repeated
rushes and put UP beautiful defense.
Carroll failed to get inside the third, and
McGovern became the steady aggressor,
the bigger lad giving way around the
ring.
The fourth round was peach, both go
ing after it hammer and tongs and yet
example of ideal fighting, with plenty of
hard punching and careful head work on
both sides, the gong breaking them about
even.
In the fifth McGovern landed fierce
right to the tace, mixed it like wild
cat, showing Carroll to the ropes and slug
ging him in the stomach in hard siege
of mitigating. In the clinch Carroll ran
under Terry, picked him up and threw the
little boy clear over his back,
The sixth was McGovern's round, Car
roll failing to land at all. McGovern
placed four successive rights to Carroll $
head IN the seventh, and in the eighth Inc
splinter did a piece of as pretty fighting
as has ever been seen between two little
fellows on the Pacific coast, smashing a
hard upper-cut to the jaw and knocking
Carroll against the ropes until he clinched
to save himself. The Frisco boy fous -
back in the last round, catching McGov-
en- vicious clip on the head.
Young Terry McGovern did not need
last nights decision to his credit, outside
of the way it might look in the record.
The fact that he carried game to Car
roll that Jimmy couldn't handle is enough
to make his reputation assured
Sullivan a Good Boy
The wise guy who picked out Dickie
Sullivan, the pride and champion of
Honolulu, to take the place of Kyle
Whitney. the dingie of Frisco, for the
scrap with Eddie Chambers certainly
knew his business
The men started fast banging away at
each other mercilessly. They hammered
away, and then Eddie, fighting hard,
bent low and struck Dick in the left
groin
Sullivan fell like bullock under the
sledge. his face contorted, distorted with
fearful agony. and Tommy Walsh didn't
have anything else to do but pull off the
maddened Chambers, who wanted to &c
after his victim. although Dick lay roll
ing on the floor. Sullivan got the fight on
a foul and it was bad foul at that
Kid Palmer challenged Sullivan and
Abe Attel offered to bet $500 that Palmer
can whip Dick.
