In the first boxing exhibition at New
Haven Monday night Of the season under
the auspices of the Russell A. C., Dave
DeShler of Boston was bestcd bv Johnny
Mario of New York. The bout was n fast
ard furious one, but was one of the clean
est exhibitions ever put on in the state.
Mario was heavier than Deshler, but the
latter boxed more scientifically. At the
start DeShler parred most of MartO's
blows, and was able to come back with
uppercuts which staggered his big oppon-
ent Mario had sense enough to keep
away and let Dcsher tire himself out.
Then he went in ana did him up. The
contest became very warm after the fifth
round and the balance turned slightly in
Marcos favor. BY the ninth Deshler was
putting UP only Il weak defence, and
luckily for him the 10Th brought the bout
10 q close. Deshlcr had the crowd with
him from the start.
