soon had the house with him by his
fast fighting and effective punching
He staggered Harris a couple of times
/ in the early part of the round with
hooks to the jaw and rushed him about
the ring, forcing Harris to retreat.
Harris rallied, however and fought to
good effect in the last half of the
round. but could not even up matters
with Livermore.
Livermore fought Harris almost off
| his feet in the fifth and landed a sue
cession OF right and left hooks to the
/ head and jaw that weakened his op-
ponent. He was much the stronger at
the gong and was going at a fast rate.
| Harris came up strong for the sixth,
but Livermore met him half way and
had good lead at the end. In rushing
Harris in the early part of the round
Liyermore fell ito the mat, but quickly
got up and continued to carry the fight
to Harris. The latter played mostly
for the kidneys. Livermore slowed
down bit in the seventh, after making
a good start, but they fought to even
terms at the end, both showing up
strong and full of fight.
The eighth round was even. with bot1,
| boys doing some effective work at close
range. Both got over punhces that
hurt and neither seemed to have any
advantage at the gong. Iivermore
had a good shade at the end of the
ninth, his aggressive tactics counting
much for him. He rushed Harris to the
ropes and landed right hooks to the
head that slowed Harris down. Harris
tried to make finish in the tenth. but
LlVermore clearly outfought him all
through the round. The latter finished
much the stronger, after administering
severe punishment to his opponent, and
was entitled to an unquestiOned deciS-
ion.
With the preliminaries out of the
way the double-header event was called
the Mexican Pete Everett-Jim Cam
eron bout at ten rounds being the semi
windup of the card.
semi-Windup No Contest
The first round was all to the credit
of Cameron, although neither did any
fighting and no real blows were struck,
Cameron increased his lead in the sec
ond round by making a finish in the
/ nnal minute. Pete started the round
ike winner, but proved too slow and
awkward even for Cameron. Pete did
nothing but cover up in the third, and
Cameron again had all the advantage
Neither was doing much lighting. and
| 1t looked very much like a fight for the
| dub championship.
Cameron Walloped Pete all over the
ring in the fourth, and the Mexican did
not seem to know thing about of
fensive tactics and very little about
the defensive. The fifth was so rotten
| that the crowd hissed the fighters. Cam
eron had all the advantage in this
round, but did nothing worthy of note
Pete woke up little in the sixth, but
/ Cameron still had the better of the
argument. This round was slightly
| better than the preceding one if any
of them was worthy of comparison. All
| through the seventh round the Mexi-
can was looking for a soft spot in
which to lie down, but Cameron would
not help him to it. 1t was so scream
| ingly funny, this travesty, that the
| fans forgot to hiss and hoot the rotten
| exhibition.
The eighth was as amusing as the
| preceding rounds, with neither doing
| any fighting, although Cameron made
/ the biggest stall at it. The ninth was
so merry that the fans hooted and
otherwise voiced their disapproyaI in
various Vocalizings. Neither had amy
advantage in this round The tenth
brought no change in the tactics of
| either man, and there was no adyan-
tage for either one. 1t was neither a
boxing contest nor prize fight, and
| therefore no contest. Anybody who bet
! upon the result in anticipation that it
would be either Is entitled to his money
back.
