HOLDS
SWAT FEST

If any of the Los Angeles Athletic club
fist artists ever find themselves bereft of
their patrimony and come to realize the
necessity of public exhibitions of their
ring skill, ''Uncle Tom McCarey would
do we'll to stage at least few of them
In his own roped in-losure.
The club held the first open house of it's
sport season last night and invited friends
of the members were allowed to witness
several classy samples of the game of
self-defense. with picked members from
the club roll between the ropes.
The glove bouts were not the only at
II actions on the program however, and
the wrestling matches in the fistic inter-
mission were not the least of the draw
ing numbers. Professor Uttenyhove, the
fencing master of the club, and Professor
Maloney of the Maloney school in Pasa-
dena, mingled the foils to the great in
terest of the spectators, even if nobody
did know what was the object OF the
encounter "Touche," muttered after each
thrust, was the only audible announce
nlent of the result
Brooker and Heipzman, in the 40 divi-
sion, started the pad menu. Brooker
showed a superior knowledge of the rules
as dictated by the Marquee, but Heinz
man was the only true imitation of Kid
Farmer when it came to taking and
giving.
Montgomery real name ought to be
Mcintosh, the way he kept out of the
rain of blows Jacoby had to offer. The
sunburned lad rushed his suit all the time
but was not so successful in resting the
leather as Montgomery.
Dameson and Kahn were evenly en-
tered in the 145 class, and gave one of the
best acts of the night in the real scientific
show.
The struggles on the padded canvass
were sandwiched between the halves of
the boxing program. Retzer draped Fer
ris on the brussels in a minute and half
Of the first spasm, and cut the time of the
second fall down to sixty seconds. The
time between throws was short, but Ferris
did some fancy Houdini before he took to
the carpet. A repetition of the wiggle
fest might result differently, and it might
not.
Isaacs and McDougal rang the mo
deposit bell in their share of the mat
contortions and their exhibition was more
display of the choice holds as taught
by Treloar than an attempt to win. Both
wrestlers showed a wonderful knowledge
of the catch as catch can game and
neither had any the best of the match.
Bolton Can Sprint
Ward and Bolton continued the fist pro-
gram in the splinter weight entries. Ward
had to reach and landed the most pokes,
but Bolton would win in the hundred
yard dash with his abundance of rabbit
| in the foot.
| The Abe Attell--chewing gum and all
OF the club sprouted out in the person of
Levy. He was entered for the tray of
rounds with Wheeler. The blonde one was
no Weeks, however, and traded back
every punch of the Hebrew.
Ruman and Watlington presented the
cnly original Kolb and Dill on the folder.
1t was case of reach away out and
WOW! The snakey ones turned their ring
debut into joking slugging bee with
even honors
Ze Professor Uttenyhove. whatever
that means, who is in charge of the sword
brigade at the l.. A. A. c., mingled the
| fcils with Professor Maloney of the Ma
loney school in Pasadena. The parley
with the timber blades was scientific, we
guess, and difficult we're sure. Both
gentlemen are recognized as les beaux
masteurs in the lErancais fighting, and
their appearance as the heads of their
respective schools was an exhibition of
the best among the fencing fraternity in
this part Of the country
