SOME CLASS TO
AMATEUR BOUTS
Big Crowd at Manhattan Club
Sees Good Sport
Ross Beats Bell.

/ At the Manhattan club last night a
large crowd witnessed some of the best
amateur boxing seen this year. Five bouts
were given and the spectators saw plenty
of good sport in every bout.
/ The Wind-up between Kid Ross and Kid
Bell made good. 1t was fast milling all
the way and from gong to gong Ross was
the winner. He knocked Bell down in
practically every round and although Bell
stayed the limit, Ross had the decision by
mile.
Kid Bell started in to do things and
shortly after the handshake in the first
round he sent his heavier opponent to
the mat. But from that on it was all
Ross. He Outfought his man all the way.
the bell saving Bell in the second round.
HIS weight seemed 10 cause Bell plenty
of trouble and the cOlOred lad did not dis
play as much cleYerness as he has here
tofore shown Both boys were in to win
and there was little stalling. Bell took
the count three times in the fourth round,
but came back strong in the fifth and did
his best work in this round. although
he went to the floor once. Bell again took
the count in the sixth round. The decision
went to Ross.
The fireworks started with fast and
furious four-round go between Dutch Erne
of Salt Lake and Tommy Sullivan of Linn
erick, Ireland. Erne carried the. fight
from the start, but was wild. Sullivan
boxed very cautiously and landed some
clean blows. Both boys were strong at
the finish, but the decision went to Sulli-
van. Many of the crowd thought that
Erne should have had draw.
Hale May Also Retire.
Kid Irish of Salt LAX and Eddie John
son of Pueblo gave a fine exhibition Of
gameness as well as cleverness. Kid
Irish, who made his first appearance
in the ring last night, proved to be a
clever hover nFnTn1Sa being
heard from in the future. He showed
up especially well as an in-fighter.
Johnson, while not as clever, was game
to the core, He went to the mat four
times in the second round, but each
time was on his feet in a second and
after his man. Irish landed a good one
early in the third round and Johnson
took the full count.
Ike Cohn of Denver and Kid Law
renee, colored of Salt Lake, gave four
fast rounds without a let-up from the
beginning to the end. The two boys
are tough customers in the ring and
gave the crowd a run for its money.
Kid Burris was to have gone on with
Cohn, but he met with an automobile
accident and could not show. COhn re-
ceived much more punishment than his
dusky opponent but both boys were
nearly out several times. Ike showed
that he was game and for the most
part forced the fight. The referees
decision in favor of Lawrence was not
at all popular. It should have been
draw.
Kid Davis and Kid Opie gave the
semi windup. Tommy Fitzgerald was
scheduled to go on with Davis, but he
was taken i'll and could not show. The
bout was Davis all the way, Opie con-
tinually holding on to avoid punish
ment. Davis wanted to mix things all
the time, and Opie was lucky to remain
the limit. Davis got the decision.
The management announced that
there would be no card at the Salt Pal
ace next Monday. Instead the Manhat-
tan club will put on the preliminaries
for the Jack Johnson show to be given
at the Salt Lake theatre.
