PREllMNARlES AT lEILEHUA OF WHICH ONE, BE-
TWEEN FINK AND BAUERSOCKS WAS BEST FIGHT
OF THE EVENING.

He landed his left time after time

take more punishment and his blows
did little harm. Fink elm he'd a
great deal during this round and in
The end of the round found both
men in good shape.
That man Fink Is n green fight
er, but with proper training as to
footwork he will make good in the
game. for he showed last night that
he had lots Of sand and could take
punishment with the best. Bauer
socks left wallop is his strong
punch, and the trooper is n fair
fighter. II was Bauersocis' fight
last night and the decision met with
the approval of all the crowd.
The Main Event.
When the principals in the big
fight went into the ring last night
the crowd thought they were to see
something good, the exhibition put
up by Fink and Bauersocks whet-
ting their appetites for a good fif-
teen.round scrap.
The fight, however. was great
disappointment, and at no time was
there the hard punching that had
been shown in the second prelimi-
nary bout.
There was little doubt in the
minds of any that the fight would
go ten rounds at least. and most
thought that It would go the limit,
and the end in the seventh, when
Mccullough took the count, seemed
too soon.
McGurn was the larger and 'heav-
Ter of the two fighters, and his body
blows told on Mccullough. He
fought low and landed many in the
stomach and abdomen, these pun hes
in the abdomen being the ones
which got the best of the soldier.
The go was called at $3.50, and
during the first round the men did
only gentle tapping and tried to feel
each other out. In the second Me
Gurn landed good punches to the
jaw and Mccullough was. wild in
his hooks and uppercuts, failing to
connect with his antagonist most of
the time.
The third was pretty even, Nc.
Col!ough going after his man and
Nj Gurn getting in some hard
smashes to the Jaw with his right,
seemingly being able TO break
through the soldiers guard at any
time to the face.
The fourth was slow, neither man
doing effective work, and by the
middle of the round the crowd was
yelling to each man to go I'm and
fight some, both men fighting for
the race until the latter part of the
round, when MoGurn used some kid
ney punches In the clinches.
Again in the fifth there were
more clinches; Mccullough got in
some uppercuts TO the chin, but Nc
Gurn went to the wind and one blow
doubled the soldier up so that he
wanted little fight for some seconds.
He came back, and then M.Guru
went after him with both body and
jaw blows, Mccullough doing little
fighting.
1t was in the sixth that the crowd
realized the fight was about over,
for McGurn went to the kidneys In
the clinches and got in hard blows
to the body from one of viii h Me-
Co!lough went down and stayed five
seconds. He had little fight left 10
him for the rest of the round and
protected himself as best he could
from the aggressive McGurn.
: In the seventh Mccullough was on
the defensive all the time, McGurn
raining blow after blow on the body,
and after one strong right McCol-
Tough went down and took the
count
McGurn fought low. and there Is
no question but that his punches
that did the effective work on Me.
Collough were short jabs below the
stomach.
AS the men stood up last night,
McGurn was the better fighter and
he could have finished Mccullough
without doubt before the fifteenth
round landing his blows higher on
the body and in the face. McCol-
Tough was outclassed, that was all,
he was both lighter and shorter than
the winner of the fight, and as IA:
