ACK GOODMAN, the West Side
idol, proved before the patrons and
= members of the New Twentieth
Century A c., in a ten-round bout
last night, that he was easily the mas
ter of Young Ahearn, who is correctly
called the dancing master Ahearn
might better be called a contortionist
h a a fighter. He really has a style
of doubling himself up as no other
man in a ring can do. Goodman was
after his man from the sound of the
gong and rained such an avalanche OF
blows to the face and stomach that
Ahearn was not in it, and was hardly
able to protect himself. That the
blows of Goodman carried force is APP
parent, for Ahearn vas 1oored three
times in the second round and once
In the third with right-hand swings.
But for Ahearn's speed and his ability
TO fall when in danger there would
have been a knockout.
The clubhouse was comfortably filed
when the principals stepped into the
ring.
At the sound of the. gong Goodman
rushed to the corner Of Ahearn and
after assuming his position tore a left
to the stomach Of Ahearn, which was
followed by a right swing to the jaw.
Ahearn was Immediately convinced
that hostilities had been opened and
started his famous jabbing tactics.
Goodman took deliberate aim and
missed a right which he had not prop
erly gagged. Ahearn began dancing
about the ring and had Goodman rum
ming second In a Marathon. Then with
a terrific smash to the stomach Good
man sent Ahearn to the ropes and fol-
lowed it up with a right to the jaw.
When the bell sounded Goodman had
Ahearn against the ropes, sending in
hard body blows.
The second round was almost the
undoing of Ahearn. Here he was
fioored three times. When the bell
sounded Goodman came from his corr
ner with a determined expression to do
or die. He began as though he meant
business. and showered rights and
lefts straight TO the face. Then with
a short right Ahearn went to the can
vas. He remained for the count OF
nine and got up, only to hold on.
Goodman was able to punch him off
and with a stomach punch again
fioored his opponent. The seconds OF
Ahearn were desperate and urged their
man to hold OH, which he did for a few
seconds, only to land on the floor when
another was sent TO the jaw. The bell
saved him from further harm In this
round.
With the opening OF the third round
Goodman again bored away at his man
and succeeded in sending him to the
floor for a count OF seven. Ahearf
now became more careful and put his
body into all kinds of shapes trying to
get out OF the path of hard blows.
Goodman was very strong in this ses-
sion and kept Ahearn worried. The
sixth round was slightly in favor OF
Ahearn. He was able in this inning to
continually jab at Goodman, who APP
peared tired, and landed several blows
to the ace and stomach that counted.
The eighth n ninth rounds were cas-
lily in favor Of Goodman.
The tenth round was the round OF
the evening, Ahearn trying to even
UP and Goodman trying for a knock
out. Both men stood toe to toe and
fought 1t out. The round was so fast
that the spectators were on their feet
shouting themselves hoarse. Good
man. however, had the advantage and
landed the good blows.
