(From Sundays Advertiser.)
Coll loses to Mccullough in ninth round.
zagezewski knocks out Hull in second
round.
Sarconi knocks out Jackson in third
round.
Stanley knocks out Fernandez in first
round.
Three straight knockouts started the
ball rolling at Joe Cohen's little fistic
carnival last night, and in the main
event Jack Coils seconds threw up the
sponge to keep their man from getting
the final blow. 1t was great show
from start to finish, and the fans yelled
themselves hoarse.
The first event was scheduled as a
four-round 60 between Corporal Hull of
Camp Very and Private Zagezewsk of
Fort Shafter. There was a lot of hold
ing on during the round and half
that the mill lasted, and the Shafter
man had the best of it from the start.
Hull went to the floor Just as the gong
sounded in the first round. In the second
he went down twice more before Gage
that put him out of business.
The second contest lasted Just min
ute. Young Fernandez took the belt
ing that Stanley gave him just that
long, and then he went to Sunderland.
There was mighty little science in
Stanley's way of doing things, but he
jumped in and forced the fighting, TAX
ing all that came his way. The first
time that a blow with any promise
slipped through, Fernandez dropped to
the floor and began breathing like a
blacksmith's bellows, and had to be
carried out. Jackson was knocked out
in the third
Marathon Nigel got it very thor.
oughly from Bugler Sarconi. The old
lad was game all the way through, but
the sea soldier had youth and strength,
and the old boy was no match for him.
Nigel tried hard enough and he took
two or three stiff ones before he passed
out, but the whole mill was mucniy
Sarconi s way.
The main event proved to be one of
the most likely mills ever pulled off.
Soldier Mccullough was there with his
Irish grin and he worked like Trojan.
| What he lacked in science he made up
in willingness, and he took all that Coll
cared to give him. The first seven
rounds were pretty even. Coll showed
up better at long range, but McCul.
Tough had all the best of it in the in
fighting. The men fought under
straight Queensbury rules.
Coll showed up very well in the ear
lier part of the fighting and placed
some blows that would have finished a
man less husky than the Shafter Irish
man. But in the clinches Mccullough
sent in some punches that worried the
marine greatly.
In the eighth round Mccullough began
to forge ahead, and Coll showed that he
was much worried. He came up strong
in the ninth, and it looked as though
the mill would go the limit.
| The lrishman was right there and de.
! termined to get the decision, however,
/ and he waded right in, taking all that
came his way. Time and again he
drove Con to the ropes, each blow that
connected only making his grin grow
| broader. slash Bang! Crash! Coll
went to the ropes and seized hold for
| support. Another blow and he was
hanging on in helpless exhaustion. Nc
Cullough began showering blows on the
helpless man, who was only saved from
knockout by the ropes.
Seeing that their man was done for,
Coll IS seconds threw up the sponge.
The bouts were brought off very
promptly. The house was fairly good.
and it shrieked itself hoarse. Billie
Warban officiated as announcer, and
his Edouard de Rczcke voice filed the
| Orpheum in fine shape.
