In a twelve-round bout at the Arm
DRY A. A. in Boston last night Frank
Klaus, the Pittsburg middleweight, de-
feated Jack (Twin) Sullivan. The con-
tinual clinching IN the part of both
fighters made the bout slow and unin-
teresting. which was enlivened occa.
slonally by momentary flashes of speed.
The Pittsburg boxer gained the de-
ciSion over the clever Sullivan by his
aggressive tactics, boring in with short
hooks and jolts that worried the Cam
bridge boxer and forced him to cover
and stall, Sullivan held back in the
early rounds, but when he made his
bid for the decision he found Klaus
we'll able to keep up with him, exchang-
ing blow for blow. Klaus used an. up
pereut effectively, and also a peculiar
half-twist blow to the jaw that landed
several times. Sullivan displayed much
e%leyerness in evading some hard blows
that would have inflicted severe pun
ishment had they landed.
In the preliminaries Dave Sullivan. a
brother of Jack. was given the decision
over Vernon Austin. of Montreal. and
Frank Madole. of Pittsburg, defeated
Eddie Shea.
