BENEDICT HITS HARD.
Makes Things Hum IN HIN
ming T1cO Fast Bouts.

Two knockOuts lent spice 20 the bouts az
the Olympic Athletic Club. on Manhattan
street. last night In fact. the lesser bouts
proved far more TO the liking Of the crowd
which packed the place than the main at
traction. a ten round affair between Eddie
Gillespie and Kid Murphy These bantams
did more clirching than boxing. but what
little was accomplished in the way Of scor-
ing points clearly favored Gillespie.
The latter early I'm the bout demonstrated
his ability 70 use either hand. and with
wicked rights he soon opened up an old
wound on Murphy's left ear. An awkward.
crouching style makes Murphy a difficult
boy TO reach. but his only effective blow
was a right hand swing. which seldom
reached its mark. Both boys were strong
at the finish.
The real fun began in the first prelimi-
nary. when two young heavyweights-Al
Benedict and Jack Clancey-crawled
through the ropes The instant Clancy
put up his hands IL became apparent 20
all that he knew little about boxing. A
moment later he knew nothing at al
"Binr' went Benedict's left. and then
dull thud as Clancey's head struck the
canvas floor. When no Orened his eyes
five minutes later they told him how il
happened.
Later on Young" ShOnstein made Rod
Mcmahon quit at the end OF a round.
while George Godfrey. a tall negro boxer.
FLASHED with Fred Hill. known as the
celery Cyclone" The Cyclone" weighed
Gloss % 90 pounds. He and Godfrey went
at each other Telentlessly. and soon had
the crowd IN an upTOar. There was little
TO choose az the end Of the fOu- rounds. so
the management promised 20 have thera
meet again at the mex; stag. on Monday
night
The final bout brough: Benedict and
Shonstein together Many predicted that
ShOnstein would make short work Of his
youthful looking opponent. They wens at
each other like demons In the frs. round,
which ended with Benedict bleeding from
the nOss and IN a groggy condition. At ths
outset ~ the second round Beneiict caught
Shonstein with right hand swing flush on
the point 81 the Jaw. and IL was all over.
This made the second knockout for Rere-
dict IN one evening and the thlr,l 20 his
credit this week. Immediately after the
bout Billy Madden announced that IN future
he would manage Benedict The last narle6
has a great pUach with either hand He
weighs about one hundred and eighty
pounds
