on ten chances. Eagan was the worst
offender, and while he played only four
innings he managed to make four err

also made a bad play. Nagle was In

ent. Murray took life easily for min
ute and then began cool-headed cam
paign which gave him the honors for
the round. Fisher was wild in his
swings and green at the game evident
ly, but enthusiastically willing.
He came back strong and with rush
for the second round and really out
slugged Murray in this session. He
seemed to be another Bat Nelson in
disregarding punishment and set a
fearful pace all the way through this
round. Fisher began to jab with his
left straight to the face at the begin
ming of the third and with such good
effect that he kept Murray stepping
backwards and lowering his guard,
which permitted Fisher to cross hard
with his right to the head several times.
Fisher showed better in this round than
in the preceding ones and had big
lead at the end.
The fourth round was all Fisher, the
San Berdoo boy slammino his opponent
about the ring with rights and lefts to
face and head and effective work at
close range. Fisher also had big lead
In the fifth round. His aggressive pol
icy enabled him to keep Murray back
ing around the ring, while he landed
frequently and effectively and took
very little punishment Murray put up
strong finish and had a shade the bet
ter of Fisher in the closing moments of
the round, but Fisher slammed Him all
around the ring In the early portion of
the round. At the gong Fisher had no
mark upon him, while Murray was
bleeding from the nose and mouth.
Fisher was entitled to the decision by
a good margin.
Redmond Whips Lucca
The preliminary windup was sched-
uled as a ten-round bout between
charlie Lucea of Chicago and Jack
Redmond of Milwaukee. There was
as much delay and formality preceding
the beginning of hostilities as usually
attends the championship scraps, each
of the half dozen towel swingers that
accompanied each fighter into the ring
taking turns at posing for the edifica-
tion of the fans
The first round was lively session,
although reither did much damage to
the other. Lucca, who looks and fights
IKE the Boer, kept a right swing from
the moor arching through the air and
occasionally landed it with good ef-
listed.
They met headon collision in
| the center of the ring and swapped
punches for a fun half minute of the
second round, going into clinch and
trying mnghtlng' both doing nicely
|
was hummer, both boys landing ef-
fectively many times. Redmond did
the cleaner work and probably was
more effective. Redmond started in
the third round to fast boxing and
landed several good wallops without
return. Then Lucca, becoming des-
! perate, began to dive n and butt and
| oLe Lened a cash under Redmond's left
eye. On clean work Redmond had the
advantage. Throughout the fourth
clinched and had to be repeatedly
warned by the referee. Both did some
good work, however, with honors about
even. The fifth was another even af-
fair, with both boys slowing down con-
siderably.
Lucca continued to Jack away, swing
wildly and hold on in clinches in the
sixth, while Redmond. on the aggres-
sive, forced him about the ring and
landed cleanly and frequently. Lucca
cut out the holding in clinches in the
seventh and made an aggressive fight
carrying off the honors of the round.
