Mike KutchOs found he had caught q
tartar in Danny Webster, even at 116
pounds. Webster simply overwhelmed
the Greek with his cleverness and
speed. and Kutchos landed about a
half dozen effective blows in the ten
round semi wind up. He was COM
pletely outclassed, but although Danny
tried his best to put him out, and the
Greek was gorggy in several rounds,
Michael stuck the limit, though he was
a tired and much-mauled laddie at the
end.
A synopsis of the main event shows
that Barry had the better Of eight Of
the ten rounds with one round a fairly
even one, and the fourth Burns. Jack
fought to close quarters throughout
and Jim danced around until the last
two periods when he mixed 1t furiously
in an effort to knock his man out.
Barrys speed decreased as the bout
progressed but he made a great finish.
Both men were in splendid condition.
Probably few heavyweight battles
are fought at such terrific speed as
was maintained by Burns and Barry.
They battled like lightweights and set
such a pace that both were very tired
when the contest ended.
Brady Has Shade
Boston Joe Kelly, attacked by an ag-
gravated case of cold feet, failed 10
show up to meet Jimmy Brady, the
colored boxer, and Norman Stone en-
tered the ring in the first event in his
place. They jumped together and both

Greek Easy for Danny
After this bout an eastern quartel
appeared in the ring and sang several
songs. which We're received in the true
Maud snirit. Danny Webster and
Mike Kutchos climbed in thereafter.
Danny locked thin and gaunt from
making l16 pounds for the Greek.
Danny hoped from his corner ana
swung q punch over the kidneys. Mike
covered and Danny feinted him into
knots. Webster contented hlmselI
with hammering Mikes kidneys IN the
first round and KutchOs appeared TO be
Duzzling on a method of attack. Mike
etrable in the second and third and
Webster mixed it willingly reaching
the Greeks intersection whenever he
pleased. Mike was willing but that
was all. Michael managed to swing in
a fearful left hand uppercut to the
wind in the fourth, but the next mo-
ment Danny, smiling nearly put Mike
TO the floor with a hard right to the
face. Danny staggered Kutchos with
a short chop to the jaw at the ropes
in the fifth, but the Greek covered up
and stalled his way through. He was
