KLINE BEATS JONES BY
HIS HARD LEFT PUNCHES
Patsy Had Everything His Own Way in First
Five Rounds Jones Let Loose in the
Sixth and Shaded Local Boy.
BOTH BOYS WEIGHED IN LESS THAN l22 POUNDS

of Eddie Woods, had all the better OIL
Dick Miller, introduced as a light
weight, but who resembled more of a
light heavyweight. Miller could taxi a
lacing. but that's all.
During the first round Lewis con-
tented himself by feeling his man out.
Jumping in and out he would land left
jabs on Miler's jaw with telling effect.
Miller's best punch in this round was q
right hand swing to the kidneys that
he landed often, but the punch seemed
TO lack steam enough to do any dam
| age.
At the start of the second round
Lewis cut loose with a volley of short
left hand hooks, followed with a dam
aging right hand swing that had Miller
bewildered. Lewis displayed some
headwork in his round. He would
feint with a right lead and then send
home with terrific force his left in the
clinches that ensued. Toward the, end
of the round Lewis landed some hard
short left hand hooks that would have
terminated the fight hab it not
been for Miller's ability to take punish
ment.
Miller tried often with right hand
swings. the majority of which missed
their mark. owing to the fast footwork
that Lewis displayed at the bell. Miller
staggered to his corner in a dazed con-
dition, apparently from the hard drub-
bing he received during the round. AS
the men toed the scratch for the third
round both exchanged rights. Miller
sent home a singing right hand hook
and followed up the advantage with a
hard left to the stomach. Lewis landed
three short hooks to the jaw and Miller
retaliated with left to stomach. Miller
lacked condition and did a considerable
amount of clinching. Referee White be-
ing forced to exert himself to separate
the fighters.
The fourth round found both fighters
much fresher. Miller profiting by the
minute rest. started at Lewis from the
start.
BY his aggressive tactics he forced
Lewis to break ground on several occa-
siops. During the round Miller scored
with heavy body punches and was
fighting strong at the bell, but Lewis's
early lead was too much for him to-
overcome. AS the bell changed at the
end Of the battle Miller accidentally
hit Lewis while. putting out his hand
to Lewis for a handshake, but the lat
ter instead Of shaking It, hit Miller with
a right swing on the jaw. The crowd
showed its ~disapproval at Lewis's un-
gentlemanly tactics by loudly kissing
him as he walked to his dressing-room.
The best bout of the preliminafies
while they lasted was the go between
Kid Herman, of Brooklyn, and Eddie
Moran, hailing from New York. This
bout was scheduled to go four rounds,
but 1t only lasted two minutes and
forty seconds. During the time the
fighters were in the ring Moran fioored
Herman seven successive times, with
terrific smashes that landed oil Her
mans chin. Herman displayed re-
markab1e garneness, however, for ms
fast as he. would hit the floor he would
jump to his feet and show a willingness
to lake punishment. Referee White,
seeing that Herman did not have a
possible chance of winning. mercifully
stopped the "go" to save Herman from
a serious injury.
In another interesting bout Happy
! Davis, Of Philadelphia, gained a de-
cision over Willie Perna, a protege Of
| Joe Woods. The local all
thOu6H OutWci6ico StscIdl PouIuS, put
up a stiff argument, The first round
was a tame affair, neither fighter show
ing any inclination to mix things. Dun
ing the second n third rounds both
fighters did effective work. Davis used
a left hand jab with telling effect
throughout. Perna's best punch was q
damaging short right hand hook that
he used to advantage. The fourth
round found both fighters very tired
from their efforts in the previous two
rounds and neither boys did much
damage.
The four round bout between Leo
Baker, the Passaic lightweight, and Kid
Bolt, of New York. did not come up to
expectations owing to the failure Of
Baker to get going It his accustomed
speed. Both fighters seemed to lack
condition, and as a result neither did
much effective work. The wrestling
bout between Alex Bersin and Young
Atlas proved a slashing affair. Neither
grappler was able to obtain a fall dur
ing the fifteen minutes they were on
the mat.
While awaiting for the principals to
appear in the main affair Billy Glover
and Jack Elliott entertained the spec
tators with a boxing farce.
