A
the championship aspirant class
W last tnight-backwards. Phil Brock
tbe newcomer who made his debut here
by an Indifferent victory over hld Dai-
ton. hung it on the local LAD from pe-
ginning to end and earned a clean-cut
victory which even the most ardent
Memsic supporters would not deny
This does not mean that Brock had the
better of every round for at tifnes
Memsic took a squirt and showed SOME
of the speed which gained him so many
admirers in his earlier days here but IN
the end it had the same effect-that oil
emphasizing Brooks superiority
The way Memsic opened up the FIRST
round made things look dubious 1or
Brock. George tore in and before tho
battle was two minutes under way hao
his man on the mat, partly from Slip
but mainly because of Wallop TO the
bread basket. In the following perlou
IT was about the same, and Memslc
continually ratified the dishes with well
delivered wallops to the midsection, ana
the gamboliers who had strung thelr
coin with the favorite began to count
the money.
But from there on another story was
told. Memsic began to lose his steam
and the other man increased his pace
An occasional flash of high class form
on Memsic's part was seen, but the
other boy kept coming back all the time
and George was hard pressed to keep
from being beaten to the mat
AS a fight the go was certainly some
candy. Not a round went by without
some fierce mixing between the men,
and the exchanges were marked with
viciousness such as has not been re-
corded at the Cabin in months AT
times it appeared that one or the other
must succumb to the onslaught of the
enemy, but when the end came the boys
were on their feet and as ready to eX-
change wallops as at the beginning.
Memsc BIeeds Freely
The damage done to Memslcs lace
lent him an unhealthy appearance. In
the sixth round he received one on the
snoot that opened up the organ, and for
the rest of the mill Brock sent in
enough straight jabs to keep the blood
coming in an almost steady stream.
Brooks only evidence of punishment
was a cut under the left eye, which
was handed him in the second round.
Memsc opened the show after but
little sparring, and sent in a light left
to the head. Brooks rush netted him
two wallops on the head. George kept
on coming and got left on the body.
Brooks next rush was productive of no
damage, and in the next mix Memsic
sent in mean right to the stomach. A
series of wicked chops sent Brock over
but he was up at once and mixing it at
the bell.
Brock did not wait for Memsic to as
sumo the offensive when they came out
again, but went after him in futile
endeavor to do something. Memsic
shot his left to the head and followed
with the same punch to the stomach.
right and left to the body and head
came next, and Memsc rushed Brock
clear across the ring and through the
ropes, going with his man and help
ing him back in. 1t was Memsics
round although by not such a generous
margin as the one preceding it,
In the third Brock began to pick up
and take heart, and although Memsic
had all the better of the first two mixes,
in which he timed Phil's rush and
rocked his head with hard swings,
Brock came back to an even break in
the following rushes. While Memsic
was coming in the Clevelander caught
him with right flush on the mouth, |
and slowed Jimmy down for the rest of
tie period
Memsic opened the fourth by heelng |
while in a clnch, and the crowd hoOted. |
Brock let left slide to the kitchen and
Memsic scored with two jabs. Brock
did most of the leading, but the round
was cOmDara tiVelV SLOW
Another Brock Round
Jabs TO the face met Memsic when he
came out of his corner, and he tried to
retaliate by rushing Brock to the ropes,
but the two attempts to do something
We're productive Of no damage. Brock
rushed and Memslc pushed him over
when he was half turned, and when
George rushed Phil timed a hard one to
the head. In the rapid mix which fol-
lowed Brock had the shade, and it was
all his round at the end.
Brooks straight lefts did Memsic no
good and he tried to get the other lad
away from that style of rushing.
Brooks left went to the stomach and
by way of retaliation Mcmsc shot a
straight left to the head, following it|
with one to the face and another to the
stomach. Memsc rushed and Brock
started his nose bleeding with a hard
right.
In a fast exchange Brock sent two
hard lefts to tine head and kept his jab
working on Memslc's sore nose. Two
well timed wallops got to Memsic's
head, and his rush was incffectuaL lie
sent left to the body but in the rush
which followed Brock had a hard one to
the jaw waiting for the Bohemian
The eighth found Memsic with his
steam gone, and Brock took the lead
from the beginning of the period The
round was not so fast as those preced-
ing it, but Brock still managed to do
the damage i'm whatever mixing oc-
Cured The ninth was still slower and
in favor of Brock, and i'm the last round
Memsic came up for his dying rally.
He tried hard and had a shade the bet
ter of it, but the lead Brock had estab-
lished in the earlier prr1ods stood him
in good stead and he won a clean-cut
victory.
Dannie Webster won tho ten-round
semi windup from Young Kid Mccoy,
but it was about as unpopular a victory
as the local fans ever saw. Mccoy
made Dannie a little weak in the open
ing round by breaking his nose and let
ting the claret loose, but little by little
Webster began to wear his man down
and had Mccoy considerably weakened
at the end.
