LUCKY PUNCH
HELPS CARSEY
WALL0P IN FIRST ROUND RAT
TIES DALTON
SCORES FIVE KNockpoWNs IN
OPENING SESSION
Game Local Boy Sticks the Limit, but
Takes Fearful Beatlng--sullivan
Defeats 6aker by WhirI-
wind Finish

Frank Carsey defeated Kid Dalton
yesterday afternoon at Jeffries' Vernon
fight club in 25-round bout that went
the limit, and Peter Sullivan was given
the decision in his 15-round fight with
Howard Baker at the end of hostilities.
Both fights were filled with plenty OF
action and numerous climaxes, but the
gong frequently went to the rescue OF
the scrappers and prevented knock
out in each bout.
1t seemed for a few moments in the
first round that Carsey would stop Dali
ton, but the game little Los Angeles
scrapperi stuck the full limit OF the
fight, and while having no chance to
win the way he fought he won the ad-
miration of the ringside spectators by
his exhibition of bulldog nerve and
courage that even Bat Nelson never
excelled.
Carsey was too clever and fast, as
well as too experienced at the game for
Dalton, and after he had taken his big
lead in the first round he never gave
Dalton a chance to do anything save
cover up and fight on the defensive, ex-
cept in occasional brief flashes. Carsey
won because of his cleverness and
speed. but his victory is robbed of much
of it's glory in the fact that he should
have stopped Dalton, IL not in the first
round, long before the limit.
Scores Five knockdowns
He knocked Dalton down five times
in the first round, and had the local
boy SO groggy that the fans severely
criticised him for failing to end the
fight in that session. The fight really
was won by the first effective blow
struck by Carsey, a right short-arm
swing flush to the chin, which dropped
Dalton and so dazed him that he was
unable to put up any effective defense
during the round. Dalton refused to be
knocked out, however, and stood up
under a rain of blows that would have
beaten any other fighter except Dalton
and Bat Nelson.
Dalton revived a. bit during the one
minute rest, but was far from being
the real Kid Dalton when the second
round started, and in the early moments
of the round he was put down again.
but took only six. He stalled out this
round and came back much improved
in the third, although Carsey had a
slight shade the best of 1t at the end.

seventh and eighth rounds, but Dalton
again encouraged his friends by going
after Carsey in the ninth and tenth,
and after getting in several straight
lefts and a few right crosses he had
Carsey bleeding and backing up. These
were his best round, although he had q
shade in the twelfth. fighting desper-
ately and seemingly without hope. He

HITS AND ONE RUN
HENLEY PoKEs BALL OVER THE
FENCE FOR HOMER
Oscar Jones Twirls Winning Ball After
First Inning, but Gets Poor Sup
port at Bat-Series Ends
Today
Angels 5, Seals I

Hosp was in his usual good form
yesterday and was given such good
support by the players behind him that
he had mere romp with Oscar Jones,
winning his game to 1 and putting
the Angel band several notches higher
up the percentage ladder. Jones
thought 1t was a most propitious day
for assassinating his hoodoo and
begged to be permitted to try his
curves out once more, being encour-
aged by the victory of the Seals the
previous day, but the hoodoo kept out
of the way long enough to further help
in spelling Jones record of winning
games.
The game was won in the first in
ming when three Angels few over home
plate in safety. Hosp then decided
that this lead should not be nullifed
and he twirled great ball throughout
the game, letting the visiting batsnen
down with three lonely bingles to their
credit. One run only could be coaxed
out of this trio of swats, despite that
two misplays were recorded against
the Angel team.
Bernard was first man up in the
opening inning and he went out, Moh=
Ter to Williams. Jones gave Oakes
four wide ones to prevent him from
knocking a home run and Dillon SIN
gled to right, sending Oakes to third.
was walked, filing the bases. With
only one man down, Jones became
nervous and threw the ball wildly,
Oakes scoring and Dillon and Brash-
ear advancing peg. Jud smith
famed and Ellis walloped the ball into
center and Dillon and Brashear tagged
the home plate without interference.
Wheeler flew to third. retiring the side.
The only run scored by the Seals
came in the fifth inning, when Henley
surprised himself by lamming the
horsehide over the left field fence.
Unfortunately for the Seals, there was
no one on bases at the time and Hen
ley delayed the game until he could
go through the formality of encircling
the infield and save the visitors from
the humiliation of a shutout.
This victory, with the defeat of the
Portland team again yesterday at oak
land, gives the Angels a comfortable
margin of lead over the Beavers and
makes certain that the loss of the
game today cannot dislodge the team
from first place.
Following is the official score and
summary:
