| having q good lead at the gong in each
of the first two sessions. The third
round also went to the credit of Cullen,
although Bell did better work than in
the preceding rounds. After having a
| big lead in the first minute of the last
round, causing the negro to back UP
and fight on the offensive only, Cullen
i surprised his friends by stopping TO a
walk and in the remaining moments of
the round Bell gave him such a severe
drubbing that he won the fight. He
caught Cullen with right hook to the
jaw that put him down for nine, and
then followed up his advantage until
the gong rang, the bell saving Cullen
| from a knockout
Nelson Stops Burton
Frank Nelson and Charley Burton
were second on the bill, also being
scheduled to go four rounds. The bout
almost ended in the first round, Nelson
putting Burton out with a right hook
to the jaw, but the gong sounded and
saved him after Blake had counted
nine, and although Burton attempted to
rise and was unable to do so his sec
onds carried him to his corner and re-
vived him. He responded to the bell
for the second and started to
make a showing, but Nelson COPIED him
with another right hook to the jaw and
put him down for the full count before
the round was half minute old. Mel
son put Burton down tree times alto
gether.
Cleveland Whips kutchos
The third card was the scheduled
six-round bout between Mike Kutchos,
the Greek, and Kid Cleveland, clever
negro bantam. Kutchos went right
after Cleveland from the start of the
first round and forced him to back ali
over the ring, hammering him to body
and head, with little return. Kutchos
put his left twelve times to Cleveland
face in the second round, drawing blood
and forcing Cleveland to keep up his
backaway tactics throughout. 1t was
Kutchos' round by a wide margin.
Mike was a bit tired I'm the third round,
but he increased his lead by his ag-
gressive and effective walloping to the
body and head. Mike still was tired
when the fourth round started, and he
allowed Cleveland to take lead in this
round, although neither did anything
of Importance. Cleveland outboxed
Mike in the fifth and took lead there
by that almost evened up the total
score, although both sides did some
good work during the round. The negro
outboxed, outfought and outroughed
Mike in the final round and was enti-
tied to any decision that might have
been rendered.
Dalton Wins Hard Battle
The semi-windup was scheduled as a
ten-round session between Fred Cor
bett and Kid Dalton, both making 100
pounds at O'clock for the bout This
was a make-good fight, both boys be-
ing on their mettle to get future en-
gagements and having to fight for
them, owing to recent defeats.
The first round showed dalton an
improved fighter, and he went after
Corbett in an aggressive manner land
ing frequently and effectively. Cor
bett fought coolly, but boxed and tried
generalship. 1t was Dalton's round
Corbett showed much speed and great
second, and by good generalship he
took a good lead in the three minutes
of fighting. Both roughed it, but Cor
bett had the better of this rough work.
The third round was L~lton's by
wide margin He was Rggressiveness
personified and rushed Corbett all over
the ring with hard swings to the head.

countered. Dalton staggered him with
a right smash full in the face in the
last minute, but Corbett clinched and
finished strong.
The fourth round was the best OF
the fight to that period, each taking

| better generalship and more clever
ness, which Dalton evened up, however,
! by his aggressiveness and effective
punching.
The fifth was another rough-house
session, with Corbett showing up to
superior advantage. His cleverness
and generalship enabled him to avoid
many vicious leads and finish the
round in the lead.

with right hooks to the jaw. Corbett

| however, and saved himself until the
gong relieved him. Had Dalton not
been too anxious to finish him he could
have won the fight in this round.
| When Corbett came up for the sew
enth, his left ear was swelled as large
as an egg. After a few moments of
! sparring, Dalton dropped him with
left hook to the jaw, sending him fiat
on his back. Dalton again got too
anxious and missed an opportunity to
| finish Corbett. Corbett cut Dalton's
/ left eye with right smash. They
were lighting like tigers at the gong,
with Dalton slightly in the lead.
The eighth round was rather tame
| and honors were very even at the gong.
Both were very tired and neither could
do much effective work.
The ninth round was even up at the
gong. Dalton put Corbett down early
in the round with left hook to the
chin and Corbett came back without
waiting for the count and put up an
aggressive and effective battle.
| Dalton outroughed Corbett in the
Anal round and won the decision by
wide margin. Corbett tried to put
up winning finish. but it was not in
him. and Dalton showed the same ag-
gressiveness and effectiveness that he
exhibited in the earlier rounds.

few minutes later for their ten-round
argument. Picato was attended by Roy
