NOW ON
Promoter Glassco's Cute Arena Was
the Scene of Three Lively
Engagements on Wednes-
day Evening
HERON Shows His Class in One
Round of Contest With Johnny
Wilson, Earning a Draw.

For Just one round Marty Hefron.
the Goldfeld bantam, showed the
patrops- of -ANindsor,s enlarged arena
the kind OF stuff which brought him
into fame In the mining camps and,
later. In Tom McCarey's ring at Los
Angeles.
During the remainder OF his eight
round bout with Johnny Wilson, OF De-
troit. IIcfron contented himself with
sort Of vaudeville performance. He
would stand. perhaps. with his hands
down and wait for the Detroiter tn
rush He would smother Wilson's lead
or else beat him to the punch. Then
he would shift and counter from the
most nonchalant attitude imaginable
Detroiters haven't had an opportunity
OF seeing Hefron when his blood is
up yet In his bout last evening he
seemed very careless-a fault that
came near costing him dearly al one
time early in the battle when he failed
To note the approach of a whizzer
started Dy the Detroiter. 1t was a long
right swing delivered something on
the principle OF Wild Bill Donovan's
fast ball and il caught the Goldfeld
soubrette flush on the jaw. deposting
him beneath the ropes in a sitting
posture.
tiefron's One Squirt.
Wilson used straight left to con-
siderable advantage also and made IA
showing generally satisfactory TO his
friends, with the exception of the sixth
round In This period he was simply
smothered. Hefron started out TO force
the fighting in the only consecutive
series of rushes in which he INDUCED
throughout the evening. He had Will
son covering up in moment, but so
astutely rained In his blows that John
ny's turtle-back defense was broken.
Then he rocked the Detroiter's head
a dozen times with raking rights and
lefts. Wilson was staggering at the
close and bled copiously from cut
mouth He came up strong for the
seventh, however. and those who eX-
pected TO sec Hefron come again in
the final round were disappointed, both
boys showing an inclination To stick
80 tight to each other that hardly
filling blow was struck during the en-
tire period. A draw would have been
tho only fair decision.
In the semi-final Hudson OF Detroit.
and DruiIlard. of Windsor, went
through six fast rounds and came out
with honors virtus ly even. Both boys
were ;ast and willing. and the air was
full of round, furious punches most or
the time. Hudson had a shade the
better OF the early rounds but Druil-
lard braced in the fifth and sixth and
held his opponent fully even.
Unexpected class for a little fellow
was shown by Young Glowney. of De-
trOit, in the curtain-raiser. Scrapping
a kid named Peon he showed ability
10 punch hard with either hand. Poems
opeu-eloved style of boxing was snowy
for a while. but not damaging. In the
third two-minute round Glowney
raked his opponent twice with his left
and then crossed a right to the jaw,
sending pcon down in heap. He arose
languidly and was late getting up his
hands \ right crossed over to the jaw
and Referee Rocks put summary end
To hostiitios, with Pcon grinding an
ear into the canvas Of the ring.
Tailor Shop Annexed.
The improvements which Mr..
Glassco and his support have made in

up while the crowd was looking them
over. The CLINT of battle cleaned in

hands like gents and real sports.
