Kenosha Scrapper.
BY Manning Vaughan.

sporting Editor Milwaukee Sentinel.)
Denatured boxing received black
eye at the Terminal building in Mil
waukee last night when Doe Frew, re
fierce for the Badger A. O., disqualified
frankie Conley of Kenosha in the Sth
round of his bout with Freddie An
drews. Though Conley had showed An
drews around the ring, wrestled and
Rugged him until he was sagging in the
knees, raised big welt under his right
eye, pulled his nose out of shape and
tore a bit of Freddie's left ear from
it's moorings, the referee did not think
he was trying hard enough and chased
him out of the ring. Frew's action
raised an uproar and majority of the
crowd yelled for the bout to continue.
Possibly Conley was fighting under a
"pull, y but at that; he was going too
fast for Andrews, and the west side
spider would have been lucky to go the
whole route.
1t was a tiresome, weary scrap.
"Dot's resell yelled a German
fan near the ring at the end of the
second round, and he was Right. It
was "ressel" all the way. Andrews
tried to meet Conley at his own game,
instead of standing off and boxing
him as he did Driscoll. He wrestled
and showed the italian around the ring,
Conley hanging On and wearing him
down until he was so tired at the end
of the sixth round that his punches
did no more than tickle the sturdy
Kenosha boy. It was simply a case Of
boxer against rough house scrapper
with the boxer trying the rough house
tactics himself The result could not
have been otherwise.
The first three rounds were as slow
as cab horse going to work. Andrews
would peck away at Conley and then
rush into a clinch. This sort of work
just suited Conley, and he would keep
pumping rights and lefts into Freddie s
midsection, hanging on all the while
with all his weight.
"Box him, don t rough it with him -
yelled Andrews admirers in the crowd.
He finally needed the cries in the
fourth and started to dance in and out,
sticking rap on the wop's jaw and
then jabbing him with pretty left to
the face. Conley kept after him all
the time, but Freddie would dance
away, only to sneak in ana land an
other crack athwart Mr.. Conley 3
countenance. He finished the round
mile ahead, but he also shot his bolt,
for when he trotted out for the fifth
it did not take thirty seconds to see
that carrying Conley around for four
rounds had tired him out completely.
Andrews stalled through the fifth, let
ting Conley do most of the work. In
a mixup, Conley landed a nasty look
ing wallop on Freddie's left ear, tear
ing the member and starting a bad
stream of blood down his face.
When the sixth opened, F'rew called
the two boxers to the center of the
ring warning them that unless there
was more action he would disqualify
both OF them. The warning helped but
little, for both men wrestlel their way
through the session to the bell Coniey
landed a couple of effective body bows
and they took what steam Freddie had
left out of him. At that, it was tame
round, and the seventh was little bet
ter. Conley kept hugging and hanging
on, and Andrews grew weaker under
the burden. Conley landed two stiff
punches on Andrews jaw during the
round. The eighth brought out some
more of the Hackenschmidt stuff on
Conley's part, though Andrews was
equally guilty of Sailing Toward the
end of the round Conley sneaked a
right and left into Andrews stomach
and Freddie was not feeling any toe
well when the bell rang.
Doe Frew landed his K O.. wallop
when the bell brought the two boys out
for the next round During the ex-
citment of the moment Frew yelled
that ne thought the fight had been fix
ed. y He changed his ruling minute
later, however, by disqualifying Con-
ley.
If the bout had been fixed, whoever
fixed it for Andrews is crude fxer.
Andrews was thoroughly whipped. This
fake talk is the worst kind of tom
myrot, and it is hard to understand
how a man of Frew's judgment could
so far forget himself as to make the
announcement he did. Of course his
disqualifying of Conley killed the fake
spiel in measure, but it does not help
the boxing game any.
