eyes and had him groggy once or twice
derful recuperative powers, and came !
Both men began to slow up about the
sixth round and the man with the high
wayman's name began TO show up bet
ter. In the last few rounds Turpin was
very aggressive but he had none the
better of Turner in this respect. The
latter has wonderful left and hard
right. If he were only to be trained
on land under good conditions there is
no doubt that he would make very
fine boxer. He has, and the same may
be said of Turpin, strength, activity,
hitting power and natural grace OF
movement that is a sure sign of pos
abilities as boxer.
Frommer Very Clever.
Erommer danced all round Shurlock
in(every round, chopping him to pieces
with wicked left that soon had the
Washington boy worried. For five
rounds this continued with Shurlock
Mainly trying to land a haymaker that
would end the go and Frommer meet
ing him with those awful lefts full in
the face, sometimes bringing over
1 right to the stomach.
About the middle Of the fifth round
Frommer landed a hard right in the
solar plexus. Shurlock bent double and
clasped Frommer round the waist, rush
ing him across the ring by his mere
weight. Referee Fox separated them
and then Frommer landed another one
that sent Shurlock down for the count
of nine.
He got up and wobbled across the
ring when another smash sent him to
the floor This time the gong saved
him and he was literally dragged to his
I corner by his seconds. In the sixth
Shurlock seemed to have gained new
lease of life and rushed after his shifty
| opponent with wild swings, none OF
which landed.
Again Frommer used his right in the
seventh, this time to the jaw and again
Shurlock took the count. He struggled
to his feet dazed and bewildered and
another merciful blow put him down
and out for the full count. After. the
~ bout Shurlock said, 81 have no right
to box two tough men on two nights
running. I was bruised and sore today
and my right hand was not in work
ing order. should like to have anoth
|. er try at this fellow when / have hat
time to get properly fit"
Frommer said: s'You must hand i
to Shurlock for being a mighty game
boxer. He came back at me strong
many times when I thought ! had hin
\ going. / feel that / had the bette
of it in every way, however, and an
j confident that 1 can retain the cham
pionship of the feet against all com
ers.'
Frommer made very good impress
sion on the local fans. He was in yer.
good condition and was never distresse
during the go. His foot work is quic
and accurate and he has good lead
ing left with terrible punch stowe
away in his right.
Paddy Ryan did not referee any o
the bouts. Many of the sailors an
some of the officers wanted to know
about this, as they understood tina
/ Paddy was to referee. Ryan state
that he, had severed his copnectio
with the club before the date of tn
bouts and so did not act in any offcis
