Dalton Stops AntIpodean
The curtain raiser was scheduled as
a six-round tryout for Mike Dalton and
Eddie White. Mikes chief claim to
distinction lies in the fact that he is a
opponent Is fresh from the Antipodean
bush, having come from Melbourne
to Los Angeles to follow in the foot
steps Of Bob Fitzsimmons and other
noted kangaroo hunters. Time was
called promptly on the dot at S:15
o'clock.
Fireworks started at the tap of the
gong and Dalton set pace that wearied
the kangaroo hunter considerably. Both
boys were remarkably awkward, and
their wild swings usually turned their
bodies into an unrecogni2able mass of
dying and whirling arms and legs. In
the last minute of the round Dalton
wrestled his opponent to the mat twice
and when he could get close enough to
the sprinting Australian he managed
to get over a few hard smashes to the
head.
Dalton almost dropped the Austria
liam in the second with a succession of
wild rights to the head and jaw, but
could not follow up his advantage. In
the last ten seconds of the round White
caught Dalton coming in and jabbed a
straight left to the point of the chin,
which would have been disastrous had
the round lasted half a minute longer.
Dalton wobbled and fell into a clinch,
the gong coming to his rescue.
After about a minute of footracing
and lodging In the third Dalton got
close enough to make rush and forced
White to the ropes. In escaping from
his pursuer White turned his back and
ran. Dalton swung a right to the
shoulder blade and White fell face
downward and took the count. He had
taken enough punishment to convince
him that he would not win, and he
quit.
Webster outfights o'NeiII
The first approach to enthusiasm
was noted when Danny Webster and
Willie O'Neill of San Francisco entered
the ring for the second bout. Danny
evidently did not lose many friends
when he was knocked out In his fight
with Wolgast, as his friends at ring
side were unusually numerous and
noisv. Very little time was wasted
after they got in the ring, and they
were off before the crowd had quieted
down.
Instead of relying on his right, as in
former battles, Danny played with
left hook to the jaw. and while the
boys fought fast and furiously all over
the ring, Danny worked that left hook
to good advantage and had good lead
at the gong. After the gong had sound
ed the boys continued fighting, and
Referee Blake had much difficulty in
separating them.
Danny almost copped the Frisco boy
In the last minute or Agntlns In the
second round, when he swung a hard
right to the jaw that wobbled O'Neill,
but the visiting lad fell into clinch
and held on long enough to get back to
earth and save himself. After the gong
sounded and Danny started for his
corner O'Neill deliberately hit him and
was hooted.
Danny increased his lead In the third
round by consistently forcing the issue
and landing often and effectively, jab-
bing with his left and crossing with
his right. Twice he caught O'Neill
with right swings to the jaw that wob-
bled the Frisco boy, but he gamely
stuck to the job. The foul tactics OF
fighting after the gong had sounded
were continued. O'Neill again was the
leader in this dirty work.

boys showed to better advantage than
in the fourth round, but Webster had
a lead at the gong. O'Neill hooked a

tive blows he had landed during the4
fight, but Webster countered similarly
in each instance.
They fought furiously throughout the

O'Neill swung a hard right to the
head, his only really effective blow of
the round, while Webster jabbed his
