SMITH OUTPOINTS BEECHER

heralded Philadelphia lightweight, con-
-inued on IN his victorious career by out
potnting the Ghetto champion, Willie
Raecher. in d ten-round bout at the Ma

The bout was slow. with the exception OF
the seventh and final rounds.
Smith was the larger boy OF the pair
He had the better Of height, weight and
reach. and took full advantage OF his physi-
cal superiority. He stayed away from
Reecher and forced the latter, who stands
without a master at infghung' to box at
long range
In this department Smith was complete
master of the situation. He used a left to
the head which he landed at Will, and
long right uppercut 10 the Jaw which
sifted through Beecher's defence and caused
the latter no end of trouble. Several Of
these blows landed flush on the point Of
the Jaw, and would probably nave finished
a less hardy youth than Beecher but the
latter was trained TO the minute and bat
tied on with redoubled fury apparently un-
hurt.
At infghting the Quaker Clty boxer was
outclassed In the clinches beecher pounded
his body with short. straight jolts and
ripped uppercuts 10 the face and jaw which
caused the Philadelphian to hold on and
clinch for dear life.
In the seventh round the boys stood toe TO
roe and slugged away without let-up. Smith
forced his uppercut to the jaw and Beech
er's knees sagged The crowd roared I'm ex-
pectation of a knockout but the Ghetto
lad was not to be finished so easily and
rot,rned the tire as fast as he received it.
The hnal round was one long nightmare
for Smith. Beecher tore into him like a
wild man and battered him all over the
