Morris Bloom. the clever Chicago light
weight whom Joe Levy brought to Los An
geles to begin a chase after the lightweight
championship, made inauspicious start
last night when he was lucky to get draw
in his ten round debut with KID Dalton
in the early rounds he seemed to be doing
nicely and sure to outpoint the spashettl
champion, but he weakened in. the Iast
half of the fight, under the erect or con
tnual volley of rights and lefts TO the stom-
ach and was forced to fight on the de1eh-
sive almost throughout the last hVe rounus ROUNDS
Dalton was outclassed as far as clever
boxing goes, as Bloom kept sticking ms zen
into the mush of Dalton until 1t seemed
that it might get stuck in the mlre after
awhile, but Kiddo did not falter TOT q
moment and kept slamming away with
rights and Iefts that got 10 the chicago
boys stomach and ribs with great reEu-
larity and effect. Bloom rallied in the nlntn
and had a shade by reason or nus oieVeI
work but in the final round. when ooth
boys were trying to make winning nm
gah honors were even. II not shading
Silently in favor Of the hard-hitting, pun
3shing Dalton. It was a good hght and tne
fans had plenty Of opportunity 10 yen tle.i
heads off, regardless of who they we're roo'-
ing FOR The fight by detail follows:
Neither did any damage or any very enectlNe
work in the opening round sparrihg ana
clinching mostly with Dalton aggre sslVely
Forcing the issue. Bloom did Jack O'Brien
etrnf with his feet and hands In being
constantly on the move and avoiding anything
that looked dangerous.
Bloom opened up nicely in the second, when
dalton came running to met him in the center
of the ring and showed a punch that was
most effective accompaniment 10 nus clsNe,-
ness. He Jared Dalton several times Win
pretty right hooks and uppercuts' ana easily
had the shade in this round.
Dalton went after Bloom aggressvely IN
the third, and while he stopped many
straight left with his mouth which soon be-
gan to grow red with a tiny stream OF claret,
he did some effective work and had a slight
shade at the gong. He sat Bloom on his
launches with a left hook to the Jaw as they
broke out OF early clinch and kept Bloom
on the go all the time.
Dalton continued TO increase his lead In
the fourth by an aggressive policy which was
most effective, despite the footwork and clev-
erness Of Bloom. Dalton played his right
effectively 70 the wind and ribs and occasion
ally chased it the head. Bloom used a
right uppercut that dandy and effective,
but he could not slow down the spaghetti
champion.
Bloom got back on his stride in the fifth
and at least held honors even in fast slug
ring session. in which both boys used their
right frequently and with effect. Dalton
shaved the better wallop, but Bloom was so
fast that he minimized in a degree the
damage.
Dalton had a slight shade NJ lively session
in the sixth. playing his right hard to the
stomach with great persistency and forcing
Bloom onto the defensive practically through
out the round. Bloom led only seldom and
sometimes counted, but Dalton forced the
fighting and had a good shade at the gong.
Dalton gave Bloom a fearful lacng in the
seventh and it seemed that the Chicago boy
was a bit worried at the effect OF the many
pokes that Dalton sent to his mdsection.
Dalton chased him all over the ring and
pounded him numerically without much
return.
Bloom came back for the eighth with fresh
courage and his old assortment of straight left
md Eight uppercuts, which he worked 10
good advantage with an occasional right hook
10 the jaw. Bloom had a fair shade in this
round.
The Chicago hoy began to make a finish in
the ninth, and by clever boxing and fast foot
work he succeeded IN putting over several stif
hooks to tho jaw and right hooks 10 the body
and jaw, taking a good lead in the round. His
left the most effective weapon. and he
rocked Dalton's head almost continually
with it,
The final round was fought desperately by
both boys in an effort at putting a winning
touch upon a close score Each punished the
other with stiff punches and swings to the
body and head and at the gong It was about
an even thing for the round.
Cornell Fefeats Fusco
The first preliminary a six-round bout
between Willie Cornell and Mike Fusco well
terweights, neither OF which seemed 10 know
anything at all about the business in which
they were engaged. They were so awkward
that they fell down and tumbed over the
ropes in their wild PUSHES and swings, but
they did some smuggling at that The affair
was so unsatisfactory 10 the fans that they
threw oranges into the ring and EXPRESSED
their disapproval in boots Cornell probably
had a shade the better of whatever slight
milling was done but he achieved nothing to
be proud Of. Artie Reynolds the new pre-
1mnary referee, made his maiden appearance
in the local ring and handled this bout He
had nothing to do beyond assisting the clum-
sy fighters to arise from the mate after they
had stepped on each others toes and fallen
