The second round was a pretty and
exciting exhibition of clever boxing

Rogers Wins Hard Fight
Another six-round affair was staged
as the third preliminary, being between
Al Rogers and Kid Troubles. Despite
the steady rain, the house was COM

called Troubles proved to be a real
fighter, and despite the aggressive

lead and was going with flying colors
at the bell. Rogers redeemed himself
in the second and easily evened up
the score to this point. He fought saw
agely and had Rogers in a bad way
once as a result of a wild right to the
jaw.

in the first half of the third, while

round was half finished. Then he
sailed into Troubles and gave him an
awful drubbing. AT the bell Troubles
was bleeding profusely from the mouth
and was very tired.
Rogers could have ended the bout
in the fourth had he had enough steam
to his blows, as he walloped Troubles
on the jaw several times and had him
weak and unsteady on his pins.
Troubles gameness and defensive tao
tics alone saved him from the count.

to respond for the fifth round in
much refreshed condition, and he put

bit and doing some effective work

somewhat. Cappelle did some effec-
tive work in thD third and had a fair
lead at the gong, although there was

already had by pursuing aggressive
tactics and landing occasionally.
