~ result Of the ten-round star bout
between Mike Mailie and Charley
Goldman at McGuigan's last night.
While Goldman deserves credit for
taking the aggressive all the time,
Mailie played his game from the de-
fensive to perfection, meeting Goldman
hard nearly every time he came in and
rave tit for tat. Mailie never backed
up. From the nth to the tenth it
might be said that Goldman had a
shade on the Boston boy, but in the
final round Mailie e out and earned
that round clearly. Mailie showed
wonderful cleverness in picking off his
opponents jabs to the jaw. Goldman
landed some hard ones to the stomach.
He did not slow up any. He did not
play a stalling game, but, though he
took the initiative seldom. he punished
the Brooklynite quite as much rs the
latter pummeled him.. It was a slow
fight for good men. With the conf
dence Mailie gained in this fight no
in fact, he should beat Goldman.
Battling Baum and Young Wilson
fought a four-round draw in the pre-
iiminary settos, Baum amusing by his
wild antics.
Paddy McGuigan has probably picked
a live one In Jack Brown, the coast
lightweight. He would probably have
licked Jack Massey last night had he
been trained better. He was a bit
too fat to do the Job. Paddy believes
looks the part.
Billy williams and Young Coupe fur
Atshed q good bout, williams having a
shade the better of the argument Joe
Bailey and Harry Smith started a
scheduled six-round bout, which went
four round before Paddy took them
off. While the bout looked good to the
spectators, Professor McGuigan de-
clared that the boys we're not doing
their best, and substituted Young
Schwartz and Johnny Devlin, who
fought a nice battle. with honors a
little In favor of 4Devlin. Schwartz
claimed Dev1fn outweighed him.. There
appeared to be very little difference in
weight to h spectators.
A fierce challenge was hurled 1t
Young Kurtz last night in behalf of
Fighting Kenney by Professor Nc
Guigan. II Kurtz does not accept some
people may think Kurtz is not fond of
fighting Kenney. Billy Lewis meets
Kenney at the club next week in the
main bout of ten rounds.
McGuigan announced, as old here
before. that Knockout Brown would
appear at his club. McGuigan is try
ing to get a good boy to meet Brown
January %. He didn't say who the Lac
was. 1t will be a special show.
Benny Kaufman and Patsy Kline
tight tomorrow night at the New Amer
lean Club in Philadelphia. Patsy has
mes Kaufman before and is sure he is
q better man, but won't say anything
about whether he can accomplish a
victory owe the Philadelphia or not.
It's difficult for an outsider to beat a
native In Philadelphia.
Kline will probably train in Mer-
chantville, at George Coles fine train
ing quarters, for the Attell bout next
Friday night.
Tickets for the Patsy Kline-Abe At
tell fight may be obtained at Kline's
gymnasium and Hymie Gross's in
Halsey street.
Tho Olympic Club will hold no boxing
stag Monday. Thursday or Friday.
though, a good local match is planned.
