BY lay DAVIDSON

Frank Picato exhibited greater class
last night in his battle with Kid Dali
ton than any of his most ardent ad-
mirers ever predicted for him, and he
defeated Dalton so decisively that his
claims for consideration as a light
weight championship possibility have
become recognized as possessing much
merit. He had good lead in every
round and won a victory as decisive as
could be obtained by any fighter short
of the knockout route. While Dalton
does not class as a near-c champion, Pi-
cato so thoroughly outclassed him at
all departments of the game that his
showing boosts his stock most ma
terially.
Picato fougi in a cool and uneX-
cited, yet aggressive and speedy, man.
ner. He showed great generalship, eX-
cellent footwork and almost perfect
calculation as to distance and through
out the battle he displayed that clev-
erness in boxing that not only per-
mitted him to fight effectively on the
defensive but at the same time enabled
him to fight effectively on the offensive
and get to Dalton almost at will.
PicatO tried for a knockout all the
way and landed at will on DaltOn's
jaw, using right and left hooks and
uppercuts regularly and with good eff
feet, seldom missing a lead and only
once or twice swinging wildly. His
blows had steam enough behind them
to stagger and wobble Dalton very
frequently, but the tough spaghetti
champion is as hard as piece of steel
and as game as they make them, and
it was impossible for Picato to get over
the punch that would end the fight
by the knockout route.
Dalton fought with all his usual
gameness and stood up under wal
lops that would have stopped most any
other lightweight Although wobbled
frequently and dazed in every round
by the rain of blows on his jaw, he in
variably rallied and came back for
more-and got IT. He rever let up in
his aggressiveness at any time and
always WIS right there fighting, al
though his head was wobbling half the
time like it was working on a hinge
and Picato was hooking his right and
left to his jaw with monotOnOus regu-
larity.
It was a battle filled with action all
the way, with plenty of thrills and eX-
citing moments in every round. In
fact, it was one of the greatest light
weight battles staged in a local ring in
recent months. There was none of that
clever sparring and runaway tactics
that usually characterize scraps be-
tween the higherups of the game and
there was plenty of opportunity for en-
thusiasm and applause. The battle by
rounds shows that Picato won all the
way and earned a most decisive vic

pointed out that the immigration act OF
February 20. 1907, prescribes that the physi-
cal and mental conditions Of aliens shall
be determined by duly designated United

haustively considered some time ago and IL
was ascertained through the Department
of State that several Of the foreign govern
ments objected to the assignment OF Ameri-

purpose of examining aliens about to en-

such examination would not satisfy the re-
quirements OF section II Of the immigration
act, which prescribes a medical examine

undoubtedly lead to the rejection OF many
aliens for physical causes which could not
