25-round contest at Independence
Hall last evening, Schlossberg of the
L. s. S. New Jersey knocked out Mike
Patton of local fame, after a bout
which demonstrated amply the diff.
ference between merely clever man
and an aggressive boxer. Schloss.
berg, big, heavy, strong as an OK, but
awkward, forced Patton, the nifty
around the ring, fought him into the
ropes, walloped him with rights and
lefts, fought the stomach out of him,
jabbed his wind to pieces, and then
laid him out cold with the classic
right swing to the jaw.
| This was the main event of the
card which was presented by Jack
Scully.
TO start the fun, Sailor Roberts
went on the mat with Faber of the
| U. S. S. Virginia, winning in two
straight falls of seven and two min
utes and forty seconds duration re-
lspectively. But later in the evening,
when Roberts tackled Charlesworth
of the New Jersey, he found his
match. Though Charlesworth was
much lighter than Roberts, the Iro-
quois man could not get him over
and down, and after AZ minutes and
80 seconds of fruitless effort, during
most of which time the advantage
was with him, Roberts gave it up,
and quit the match cold. 4,
The second event on the calendar
was Ground bout between Bill
Hulhui and Prendergast of the U. s.
S. New Jersey. Bill showed that he
had not lost his old-time cleverness,
though he was fought off his feet
and badly punished by the other. The
decision went to the sailor.
As they stepped into the ring,
Prendergast looked little the heav-
Ter, though he is in the lightweight
class. He started things Off nicely,
though Bill looked fairly well able to
take care of himself. Prendergast
displayed RICH cross counter, which
he used to good advantage all
through the affair. He also worked
Bits ribs up good deal.
In the second round Huihui came
up stronger. Prendergast shot in a
left to the body, followed by a jab to
the face. He was not finding Huihui
easily. Referee McFadden warned
him for hitting in clinches, as they
were fighting clean-break rules. Hui
hui shot his right over to the jaw.
Prendergast scored with left to the
ear, and Huihui countered with a
right cross to the jaw, followed by a
left straight to the other side of the
sailors face. They mixed 1t. AS
they came out of the close fighting,
in which the sailor had the best of it,
Bill put in another right cross, just
as the gong sounded.
Honors in the second round were
even.
At the start of the third both miss
ed swings and mixed IL. Then Prem
dergast rushed, and sent Bill retreat
ing around the ring, putting a hard
right swing to his jaw. Prendergast
hooked his right to the ribs. Follow
ing up with his rushing tactics, he
forced his man around the arena with
a volley of rights and lefts to face
and body. Huihui ducked and STALL
ed, weathering the storm with diff
Guilty. Prendergast sent crashing
left to the jaw, and then fought
fiuihui into the ropes with volley
of blows. 1t looked like knockout.
Huihui ducked and covered, and the
round closed as Prendergast shot in a
stiff left to the face.
Coming up at the tap of the gong
in the fourth, both missed two wide
swings. Then Prendergast put right
and left to the head. Bill landed with
right to the head and uppercut to
the heart, but the blows lacked
steam, and Prendergast laughed at
him. The sailor missed an uppercut
to the midsection, but Immediately
put a stiff right hook on the jaw.
Both men were bleeding at this stage
OF the game. Huihui clinched to save
himself. He was too clever in his
Sailing, and Prendergast tried inef-
fectually for knockout. The jackie
landed or the face with hard left
drive, and ripped Bill in the body
with a singing right uppercut just
as the gong sounded.
Huihui started the fifth round
| backing away as fast as possible.
Prendergast followed, shooting in
two lefts to the body in rapid sue
cession. His attentions to Bits mid
! section had him badly bothered. Il
