Occasions in Bout With IRISH

A FTER a long absence from the
~ ring Ben Douglass got back into
the harness at Troxleris Central
Institute last night and proved to the
satisfaction of Del jenkins. a negro
boxer from Montclair, in three rounds.
that he still knows a bit about the art
of self-defense. Jenkins was substi-
tuted for Eddie Rector, of ~IIobolSen.
who failed TO put in an appearance.
The bout between Irish" Mahon went
as was expected. He easily had the
better of Young Schwartz. who man
aged to stay four rounds, although the
bell saved him on two occasions.
Douglas went at his man at tho sound
of the gong. There was no "dilly-
dallying'' for an opening for Douglass
sent a left right to the negro's face.
Jenkins fought a very open fight and
left himself open to punishment at all
times. When he did make an attempt
to land his blows were so weak that
they would not have made an impress
sion on a tub of soft butter. In the
second round Douglass landed at will.
The blows to the body of jenkins were
very effective and slowed up the dusky
boy to such an extent that Jenkins was
in a very bad way.
The third round had hardly opened
when Douglass sent blow after blow
to the face and body. Jenkins kept his
hands a-whirling. but this did not
bother Douglass, who kept right on
boring. The pace was too hot for Jen-
kins and he quit cold. 1t was a bless
ing for him at that when the referee
ordered Douglass from the ring. It is
positive that he would have been on
the canvas in a few seconds had the
bout continued.
The session between Irish Mahon
and Young Schwartz was not up to
snuff.
Mahon was the aggressor. Schwartz
was content at all times to n
keep away from a man whom he feared.
Schwartz wore a smile for a few sec
onds, but this Quickly disappeared when
he took a right and left from his OPP
ponent. The fight Jagged for the four
rounds. and 1t is safe to say that had
Mahon not been suffering from his In
jured hand he would have sent
Schwartz to dreamland.
AS II was Schwartz was kept from
the arms of Morpheus on two occa-
sion by the timely sounding Of the
gong. Mahon was the leader of every
round and won hands down.
Banty Lewis and Young Stanzo were
carded to fight four rounds. 1t was an
alleged" bout, for, as always, Lewis
tried to get In his fancy work and made
a farce of 1t. In order for him to get
the appreciation of the ANS he will
have to do more boxing and cut out his
pack tap work inc graceful poses.
Stanzo, however, is not to be given too
much credit. He is a good man to AXE
punishment, but last night he did not
relish the mixing. However. the best
between the boys was a draw. Let's
hope that hereafter Lewis will forget
that he is not engaged for comedy and
get down to business. He is built for
!. speed and would make a good boy.
There were four preliminaries on the
card. The best was the four-round
bout between two negroes, George
Young, of Bloomfield. and Young
Hines, of Newark. Young was the
winner and made a punching bag OF his
man. Jim Moran. of Elizabeth, put
Battling Curley away in two rounds.
Joe Smith and Young Mack fought a
good draw. Young Burns and Young
Jackson put up a very poor bout
Burns easily weighed ten pounds more
than Jackson. but still was unable to
do much damage. Jackson was the
aggressor. but he received a world OF
punishment. The bou was a draw.
