But Fastener Avoids Knockout Punch for 20 Rounds
PHILADELPHIA NO
MATCH FOR THE
LOCAL LAD
Eastern Lightweight Goes Limit,
but San Franciscan
Shows Him Up

Lew Powell, the local lightweight
showed Young Erne, the much heraldeo
Philadelphia boxer, who made his ini-
fisl debut in this city last night al
Dresuland pavilion, as a very ordinary
nsrformer, and won the decision at the
end Of 20 rounds. Referee Eddie Han
lon had but little trouble In deciding
The winner. as Powell won all the way.
The much talked of cleverness %
she e. stern boxer was sadly missing IN
his encounter with Powell, as the lat-
Ter beat him al every angie o. Nis
game. and for time II looked as u
ne FASTENER would go out before th'
Powell outboxed. onthit and out,
rOughed the visitor There %as NEAR ar
looked as II he might win He Ialleo
10 display the merest sign OF a punch
and the contest had not prosI os ,s1c
many rounds before the spectators were
aware that Erne was blooomer.
In the first round or two he showed
flash Of speed. but Powell was Jus
studying his man. and after cohNi hcl = s
himself that Erne was not there WITH
the wsllop. he took the OFFENSIVE aho
went after the visitor
In the seventh round Powell looked
as if he might put him man away, but
Ftrne stalled il out until the finish The
contest was a poor exhibition.
REILLY BESTS TAYLOR
Roscoe Taylor. the hard hitting
feather weight made MS debut as q
professional last night and lost the De
cisiOn TO Charley Reilly AFTER boxing
The prescribed 10 rounds. Referee r.
win awarded the contest TO Reilly on
points.
Tavior made & credita BILE showing for
his first start Reilly's experience told
as he was q better master of ring tao
tics and took advantage OF his op-
ponent's lack Of knowledge OF the hner
points OF the game. Taylors wicked
right crosses and shirts went Tor
naught. as Reilly had known OF them
and he showed great respect for Iay-
lors faVOrite blows by keeping out OF
reach He contented himself by shoot
ing his left TO TaylorS lace and then
jumping back TO avoid Taylor's coun-
Ter. This was Reily's style throughout
and he took no chances smuggling with
the Seattle lad. If Taylor had known
s little more and mixed his blows with
out directing them all for the head he
might have upset Reilly's guard and
landed haymaker.
TAYLOR was always on the offensive
and he pushed his man about the ring
for the entire journey. He frequently
showed his jaw out and took left raps
on the nose in an effort TO draw down
Reilly's guard for a chance 10 send
over a choppy right.
Taylor fought well in the last two
rounds, but he was very tired How
ever he was the gamer of the pair. as
Reilly logged II badly in the iast
round. not making an attempt at all to
land blow, being satisfied to clincf
and block without getting raped in
the face or body.
DRAW DECISION UNJUST
Little Jimmy Carroll won his fight
with Harry Dell easily. but Referee
Toby Irwin could not see IL that way
and tossed a fine bloomer by calling Il
a draw. OF the 10 rounds they fought
Dell had a shade in the first and broke
even in the fifth, but outside of this
Carroll landed four blows 10 his OPP
ponent's one
Dell tried in vain TO land q right
cross, which was his only weapon, but
Carroll was too crafty ring general tc
allow his opponent TO sling this blow
over and he tried in vain for the IL
rounds. In the early part of the fight
Dell looked as If he might wear his frail
opponent down. but Carroll stood the
going gamely and was fighting strong
q the finish.
Carroll worked his fast left TO per-
lection and he kept that member IN
Delrs face throughout. There We're nc
knockdowns during the 10 rounds.
