won from Ivan Kahn by default' the
latter having had his jaw broken on
the previous evening. Ed Dietrich
and q. A. Shelnik fought three rounds
to decide who merited second place
Dietrich noored Shelnik in the early
mart of the first round and seemed TO
have things going his way. Little
science was displayed by either man.
Shelnik rallied in the third round, but
at no stake of the fight was good
enough. Dietrich stood punishment
we'll and merited decision.
The best bout of the evening was
nut up by Roy Snyder, and Fred
Scholl, Snyder being given the decision
amid boots from the gallery
Both men fought hard from the
sound of the gong, landing hard rights
and lefts to face. Snyder fioored his
man in the first round, but Scholl
quickly rallied, fighting like demon:
At the end of the first round Scholl
had gone down three times, in each
instance rallying and coming back
strong. Both men appeared weaker
in the second round, Snyder having
slight advantage. Scholl maintained
an excellent guard and Snyder re-
sorted to kidney and stomach punches
for a fourth round, in which Scholl
put up a fast fight and seemed to have
things going his way. There was much
cheering for Scholl when he was led
from the ring. Rocco Wigo won his
championship on his previous fight
Coe and Armstrong hooked up in
the featherweight division, but Coe
knocked out his man easily in first
round. Armstrong was no match for

jaw The gong saved him, but the
decision was awarded Reuman at end
of first round.
Eddie Robinson refereed the last
fight of the evening, between Hayes
and Beauchamp. The men clinched
continually, Beauchamp pounding
Hayes kidneys and closing his left
eye with left swing. In the third
round Hayes appeared much stronger
and did well. Both men clinched con-
tinually, Robinson fairly throwing
them apart. The judges decided for
another round at the end of the third,
