that it was all over and tina Billy
Leary, of Gladstone, had at last been
knocked ut.
1t became apparent the moment the
pair entered the ring that the two were
deadly in earnest. Kid Wilson was the
first to appear and was given a big
hand by his many friends. He went
to his col ner and a later Billy
Leary, accompanied by a retinue of
trainers, attendants, etc, plowed his
way through the crowd and climbed
into the sing. He needed no introduce
ton, and the ovation rendered TO him
eclipsed that of Wilson. Both of the
gladiatora appeared to be a trife nerv-
Gus. just before the hostilities were
'i~naugura,ed Terry McGovern. ex-light-
weight champion, was introduced, M
the welcome he received reminded one
of the days gone by. when Terry's
name Was on the lips of everyone.
Terry looked the picture of health. His
cheeks were rosy and his eyes bright.
He was inportuned for a speech, but
modestly declined.
The two fighters held a consultation
and 1t was announced by Bennie Miller.
the third man in the ring, that both
boys were to fight straight Marquis of
Queensbury rules. breaking cleanly.
At the yong they did not shake hanIs
but went right at it. After a few
passes they clinched and waltzed d
bit. They then broke away and did a
little sparring, Leary finally landing a
right to his opponents kidneys. Will
son retaliated with another in the SAME
place and 1t made the white boy vince
and turn pale. They clinched again.
and were pried apart by Referee Miller.
Finding an opening Leary sneaked over
a right. 1t was a fatal move for him.
for 1t left him open. and like a fash
Wilson landed a right to the jaw. II
was not a swing, but a solid jolt and 1t
had the effect of a ran rod. He fell
fiat to a sitting posture. 1t was plain
that the blow had a fierce force. for 1t
was with difficulty that he crawled 90
his knees. Benny Miller didn't count.
Leary finally got on his feet. Benny
gave the white boy plenty of time, per-
haps eighteen seconds, but Wilson fol-
lowed right up with another punch to
the jaw. and Leary went out for keeps
on his face. 1t was several moments
before the crowd realized what had
happened.
When the spectators finally realized
that Leary was out there was a dun
rumble OF applause and cheering that
gradually increased until it resembied
the rolling of thunder and amidst the
excitement Leary was taken to- his
d~ressing-room. while the crowd began
to file out slowR. 1t was decisive and
the spectators appeared to be satisfied
with the result Of the bout.
Before the bout Danny Savage and
his brother. Jim Savage. were intro .
duced and the former declared that he
would challenge the winner. Jack
Davis, of California, was also intro
duced and made the same challenge.
The preliminaries while interesting
were at times rather dull and ragged,
The initial encounter brought together
libby Watson. of Elizabeth, ana
Tommy Andreach, a protege Of Patsy
Kline. AS they have in previous sN-
hibitions the two boys put up an inter-
esting bout and were well applauded.
Watson is heavier than Andreach, but
the latter held his own all the way nd
drew the claret in the last round when
both boys went at it in lively fashion.
A tap to the nose did the damage.
In a six-round bout Young S%alzburg,
of Brooklyn, "a bested by Young Ma
hon, of this city, in the early rounds,
but the visitor rallied and had the bet
ter of the milling in the final two
stanzas. Young Salzburg spent the
first two rounds sounding the local lad,
and then in the fifth he began to reach
him. At the bell Salzburg drove a
vicious right to the jaw, but both were
on their feet when they left the ring.
Happy Davis had a shade on Young
Salzman in their six-round bout. In
the second round the local lad slipped
and opened up a cut Over his eye, The
wound bled freely and Davis had Salz-
man covering up a great part of the
time after that. The local Mad was
game and fought back every inch,
never wavering for an instant. The
distance (six rounds)' was a trifie too
Ions for the pair. and both of them
were a bit weary at the bell.
In the semi-hnal sunny Smith, of
Paterson, and yankee" Schwartz, of
Philadelphia, were in the limelight. The
Philadelphia had the better of the
bout from gong to gong. n was sell
dom pressed by the Patersonian Smith
tried to force the lighting at times and
the pace was fast, but Schwartz was
too clever for him. A right to the
mouth brought the blood from Smiths
