Sheridan Whips HanIon
Just as a teaser, McCarey put on a
four-round bout between Mickey Sherl-
dan, from the Santa Anita race track
and Young Eddie Hanlon. Both boys
had shown such a willingness to mix II
in all their previous bouts that this
event attracted large attendance from
Arcadia, where both were better KNOWN
than in Los Angeles. Sheridan TOOK
the first round by fair margin by his
aggressiVeness and the use OF a sun
straight left to the face and rlgh'
cross to the jaw. Sheridan had all the
best of it in the second also, drawlne
blood early in the round by the steady
use of his left to the face. He slammed
several hard rights to the jaw and had
Hanlon in a bad way all through the
round. Few fighters have taken more
punishment than that which Hanlor
stood UP under in the third round. His
face was covered with blood through
out the round, and Mickey hit hin
almost at will, working the left to face
and right across to jaw almost con-
tinuously, but could not finish Hanlon
although he had the tough youngstei
| in a bad way several times. Mickey al
but stopped Hanlon in the final round
and only the rare gameneSs OF his op'
ponent permitted the round to go K
the limit. Mickey gave Hanlon ter
rife beating in this round and won as
| decisively as any fighter could VII
without a knockout.
Cleveland Gets Decision
Kid Cleveland and Kid Murray were
second on the bill, also being scheduled
for a four-round bout. Cleveland
| cleverness enabled him to take goot
lead In the first round by working hi
| left to the face and hooking rights t.
head, hitting with good effect and saw
| ing himself from any great punish
ment by his speedy footwork. Cleve
| land gave Murray another severe
| pounding in the second and when th'
gong ran the white boy was in baC
way. The third round also went t.
the credit of Cleveland by a wide mar
gin. Murray showed the effects of the
beating he had taken in cut on the
side of the left eye and Cleveland KEEP
begging away at 1t with his right
while continually jabbing his left t
the face. Murray made a game uphill
finish, but could not overcome the leac
of the negro boy, who earned the de-
cision by a good margin.
Moss Wins from Butler
The next bout on the program was
scheduled as a six-round affair be-
tween Walter Fisher and Chester Moss
but the San Berdoo towhead hurt his
hand in training and Charlie Butler,
negro, was substituted for him. Moss
tried to knock Buffers head off in the
first round and almost succeeded, bu'
the negro protected himself cleverly
and put up a fair fight in the latter
half of the round. Butler f1oored Moss
start of the second round, but Moss
got I'D Immediately and more thar
evened up the round by giving the
negro a severe beating in the remain
ing two minutes of fighting. Moss sci
the crowd wild in the third when he
caught Butler with a right swing &c
the Jaw that sent the negro sprawling
The gong rang as Butler arose or II
might have been a knockout victory
for Moss. Butler came back strong
in the fourth and made an effort to
even I'D the score, but without sue
cess as Moss always was right or
top of him and although stopping three
of four stiff crosses to the jaw he gave
She negro q terrific drubbing through
oi1t. Moss maintained good lead
throughout the fifth round and ire
quently got in with rights and lefts tc
the wind and head, rushing the negro
almost through the ropes. Inc negro
made a poor attempt at putting up
winning finish in the sixth and Moss
held his lead without any difficulty
There was no question regarding the
result at the end, Moss being the
unanimous choice of the fans, anc
their judgment was excellent.
