Knight lovers who attended the
boxing show at the Club yendome
last night were treated to the
best set of bouts seen in Newark this
season. With the exception of the first
set-to of the preliminaries, which
brought forth Young Nelson and Young
Allen, all of the bouts were of the
whirlwind order, and four of the en-
counters were brought to an end by
knockouts,
up a stiff battle with Battling Hurley,
and the Passaic whirlwind only had a
shade on his opponent at the finish.
In the first round Hurley started off
by fighting In his usual cyclonic fash
ion, but toward the end of the round
the Philadelphia boy landed a series
of blows on Hurley's jaw. The Passaic
boy seemed dazed as he CROPPED his way
10 his corner. Carey fought the same
| style of battle as Hurley, using the
same kind of an attack, but clinching
frequently. Both boys worked hard in
the second and Hurley's kidneys were
red from the banging he received In
the clinches.
In the third round everything was
Hurley. Hurley forced his opponent
to the IGOR with well-directed rights
and lefts to the jaw, and the
bulist from Sleeptown appeared to be
firing rapidly, while Hurley grew
stronger every minute. Hurley did
most of the fighting in the fourth, Dor
ing in on Carey's defense and chasing
him around the ring. Carey finally got
one over, though, that opened up Hur-
ley's bad eye, and the blood was
streaming from the wound as he went
to his corner.
Carey appeared to be ALI in" at the
end of the fourth, but he rallied and
came back strong in the fifth, and had
Hurley worried. He continually held
on in the clinches and was warned
several times by Referee Charley
White. Hurley was slamming in a hur-
ricane of ights and lefts and had
Carey up against the ropes at the bell.
At the beginning of the sixth round
Hurley chased Carey around the ring
and cornered him. A Suggest followed
which brought the crowd to its rect.
Hurley had plenty Of opportunities to
land a knockout, out the blows lacked
the essential.
The first bout of the evening between
Young Allen and Young Nelson, teath-
e~r-weights, was not up to the standard,
Allen ducked Nelson's blows and mel
him with a right to the body and face
that made him vince every time he
landed. but he failed to follow up and
neither of the men were marked when
they made their exit from the ring.
The second bout furnished the first
knockout. Battling Ryan, of New
York, and AL. McCloskey. of Elizabeth
were the principals. McCloskey had
the better of the fight in the first round,
but in the second after forcing Nc
Closkey to the ropes, Ryan landed three
rapid rights to the jaw, sending the
Betsytown lad to the floor each time.
The third blow was a terrific uppercut
on the point of the jaw, and knocked
McCloskey clean through the ropes to
the floor, where he lay stunned.
Young Donnelly, of Jersey City, was
the victim of Happy Davis, of Philadel-
phia, In the following bout. The first
round was an even break. but In the
second round Davis got to Donnelly and
hit hard, flooring him thrice in success
sion. Donnelly was unable to continue
after the third knock-down and was
borne from the ring.
A Newark boy, Tommy Hogan, got
into the limelight by putting Young
Mack, of Boston, in cold storage in the
first round of their o Hogan landed
a right TO the jaw, which dazed Mack
right off the reel, and when he followed
1t up cleverly Mack was up and down
from the floor like a jumping-iack
three times and then a solid whack to
the jaw put Mack out. Billy Lewis, a
Newarker, also made a home run with
the bases full when he slammed Jimmy
Mitchen, of New York, on the apex OF
his food trusher, after pummeling him
around for two rounds. Mitchen was
counted out.
After the show it was announced that
the star bout next week would be be-
tween Patsy Kline, of this city, and
Willie Lewis, of Brooklyn. Young
Douglas was introduced and will be
one of the principals of the serni-final
on the same card. The agreement be-
tween Kline and Jones is that both will
weigh in at 1922 pounds at 6 p. m. on the
night of the bou
