Willie Jones fight at the Vendome
Club last night the latter cut loose
like a whirlwind and outfought Patsy
at the game of swapping wallops, but
the big lead the Newark feather weight
had for the other five rounds more than
offset the advantage gained by Jones.
The bout was not as good as both boys
can put up, because OF the caution OF
both boys, who had met each other be-
fore and were familiar with the others
style. Jones was keeping away as much
as possible from Kline's left and Patsy
was careful of a whirlwind. rush on
the part OF Jones, who is certainly not
a Sunday school boy when 1t comes to
being tough, Judging from his language,
etc. Patsy, however, was the winner
in the writer's opinion, because Jones
did very little fighting until the sixth
round and was holding on most of the
time, with Charley White trying to
get him off to fight.
The two lads, evenly matched, did
not come lV to the expectations of
their friends. Patsy was very cautious,
which made him appear slow. Jones'
has surely improved since his last
fight with Patsy, and shows up better
in the ring than ever before.
The boys weighed in at 100 pounds
at 6 o'clock; in fact, Patsy weighed but
1201& pounds. Jones refused to weigh
to the ounce. The applause that
greeted each at their appearance
showed that friends of both in great
numbers were on hand and looking for
their respective favorite to win hands
down. There vas q hitch when Moe
Smith, manager of Patsy, observed the
hard bandages on Jones. After an ex-
animation by Charlie White, the
referee, Jones consented to remove part
of the tape, but not until he had told
Smith what he thought of him. The
agreement called for soft bandages, it
is said.
The men fought cautiously in the
first round. Jones began jabbing and
hitting at the stomach. Both INDUCED

Jones was a little wild with his

hell. What little fghting was lone in
this round was Patsy's work.
During the second and third rounds
Patsy's left hand, with an occasional
right body punch to the stomach, alone
was working. Patsy brought home
some telling punches. Very few Of
them but that didn't make Willie

left swings that would nave put him
to dreamland If they had landed. but
he seemed to be very slow in getting
