Leonard Lauder again. demonstrated
beyond question last night that he is
one of the classiest near-lightweights
in the business by decisively defeat
ing Jack Redmond in as pretty a box
ing and slugging exhibition as one
would care to witness. Early in the
first round it looked very bad for
Lauder and it seemed that Redmond
might stop him before the round ended,
but the classy and clever local boy
began right there and never afterward
left the result in doubt AS the bat
tie progressed and Lauder easily and
quickly overcame the big lead his op-
ponent had taken in the opening round,
the fans at ringside sat admiringly and
in amazed wonder as they tried to
figure out what might happen to a lot
of other ightweights in the world if
Lauder only had the punch that he
lacks to make himself one of the
greatest fighters of the day.
Redmond started out to win in a
hurry and almost accomplished the un-
expected when he sent Lauder to the
mat in the first minute of the open
ing round, but he lacks a cool head and
the finishing powers when opposed to
an opponent so clever and such good
general as Lauder. The latter arose
without waiting for the count to be-
gin and although dazed by the jolt to
the jaw that sent him down, he knew
enough to stall until he had recovered
from it's effect and then what he did to
Redmond was a-plenty and left no
chance for doubt as to the relative
abilities Of the boys.
Redmond started out like he would
win the fight in the first half minute of
the round, knocking Lauder down with
a felt to the jaw, but Lauder got up at
once and made a stall at boxing until
he recovered his senses and then fought
back with the ferocity of an injured
tiger. Both boys slugged hard and eff
fectively, but Redmond had the better
of the milling and scored first blood
with his swats to the mouth.
Lauder went 1IlIO IIlG S6COuU IOuHu
in a businesslike manner and almost
evened up the round by boxing cleverly
and outpointing Redmond, easily avoid
ing the rushes of the Milwaukee boy
and landing effectively when he led.
Redmond went on the aggressive again
in the third and had a shade at the
end. He landed several times to head
and jaw and Lauder cOntented himself
with boxing on the defensive. Lauder

clever work, outboxing and outgeneral-
ing Redmond throughout the round.
Redmond was right there at all times,
however, and kept Lauder bleeding at
the nose throughout. Lauder very
wisely concluded to box cleverly in the
fifth, and he easily held his advantage
in this way, although he frequently led.
when openings offered, and nearly al
ways counted. Redmond continued to
fight on the aggressive, and made a
good showing under the handicap of
superior cleverneSS.
Lauder showed to fine advantage in
the sixth and scored a big lead by COM
bining cleverness with his aggressive
policy of Slugging at close range. He
staggered Redmond two or three
times with well directed and accurate
leads for the jaw, and when the gong
sounded it looked like Redmond would
have an uphill fight on his hands to
get as good as an even break. Red
mond came back strong in the seventh,
but his aggressiveness only brought
him the severest punishment of the
fight. Lauder uppercut and crossed
with remarkable accuracy and effec-
tiveness and staggered Redmond sew
eral times. 1t was LADDERS best show
ing up to this time. Lauder slowed
down a bit in the eighth, but he did not
permit Redmond to gain on him at all,
singing in we'll timed and accurate
blows when opportunity offered and at
all times protecting himself from pun
ishment by his clever boxing and foot
work. There was no change in the
score during the ninth round Lauder
continuing to box and slug in his form
full and classy manner that permitted
Redmond to do nothing at all. There
was little mixing during the round, but
Lauder scored whenever they came to-
gether for an exchange, while keeping
Redmond away or blocking all leads.
Redmond tried to make a good finish
in the final round, but Lauder was just
as eager to have a clear and distinct
lead, and they went at it willingly and
effectively. Lauder was too clever for
Redmond to make much progress, how
ever, and at the gong the local boy was
away out in front and easily earned the
decision.
Young Turner Wins Again
The show began with a series of five
four-round bouts, in which Young Tur-
ner, who has whipped all opponents
lately, and Ed Higuar were the prin-
cipals. Young Turner went at the job
like he intended to maintain his win
ming record, and after a most aggres-
sive four-round battle he earned the
decision. Higuar was too green to
make any progress with Turner, who
not only outboxed and outsIugged him,
but also outgeneraled him at all times.
Fusco Whips Herrera
The second preliminary was a four
round bout between Mike Fusco and
Johnny Herrera. Herrera is no reIa-
ton to the notorious quitter, but he
looks very much like him. The first
round was rather even in honors, with
both boys hardly warmed up to real
fighting. But in the second Fusco got
busy and by superior cleverness and
generalship he gave the Indian a fear
full walloping. Straight left jabs and
uppercuts gave the honors of the
round to Fusco. Herrera went on the
aggressive in the third, but he was un-
equal to the task and was hammered
to a done brown by Fusco, who con-
tinued to play his left to the face and
cross with his right. A knockout never
was apparent, but F'usco was landing
all the real effective blows of the
round. Herrera tried to make a win
ming finish and put up a strong and
