A T the end of the tenth round of
~ their star bout at the Olympic
A. c., in Iryington, last night,
Young Wagner, of New York. had a
shade on Buddy Faulkes, the clever
local chocolate-colored bonbon, but the
New Workers. advantage was not
great. There was much discussion
over the bout as to which va II
should be decided, but. 1t was general
ly agreed that the Wagner boy was
entitled to a shade because of the
blows he landed at close quarters, the
oout being fought at close range all
the way. Because of this the bout
was rather tame at times.
Wagner realized from the start that
Faulkes was dangerous at long range
and allowed Buddy to do most Of the
leading, n then grappled and pun
meled away to the wind and stomach,
at the same time receiving the black
boys blows on his shoulders.
Both boys weighed in, az the ar
ticles of agreement required, at 6
o'clock, and neither moved the beam,
which was registered at l16 pounds,
the bantam weight. When the pair
stepped into the ring it was apparent
at a glance that both were drawn fine
and In grand condition. Buddy Wore
a pair of niaroon-colored trunks, with
an American flag for a sash. and the
New Yorker wore tights of a dark
color.
Start Easily.
There was an argument about the
~bandases that Wagner wore, but he did
not remove any of the wrappings. The
boys went at 1t without a handshaka
The pair did little else but spar
around the ring in his session,
Faulkes leading at the start with a
left to the wind, which Wagner prompt
ly reciprocated, and her they clinched
and pummeled away al short range.

but Wagner refused steadfastly tt
give into the Newarker's game. Buddy
cut In with an uppercut to the jaw
which did no damage In the fourth,
and again they were at 1t fighting and
wrestling around the ring. Faulkes
tapped Wagner twice neal the end of
the round, and Wagner went after him
after the bell had sounded and was
Missed.
Miller Worked Hard.
Miller earned his salary as the third
man In the ring IN the fifth. He had
to exert his strength to the limit to
pry the two boys apart time and again.
It was in this round that the New
Yorker began to show to an advantage.
He clipped Faulkes on the apex of the
jaw with a right swing. and when
Buddy tried to start something a left
jab to the face stopped him short. It
was Wagner's round.
In the sixth Wagner again did the
better work in the clinches. landing
oftener and harder than Faulkes. Al
one time they crouched head to head
and slammed away at each other in a
manner that aroused the crowd. Wag-
ner held his advantage though the
seventh, and the bell In the eighth
stopped the boys when they were again
tearing at each other at close quarters.
The ninth was but a repetition Of The
preceding rounds, with the boys clinch-
ing and working hard for an opening,
but both were too clever to drop their
guards.
In the final session they shook hands
and again started to clinch. Faulkes
broke away and pasted Wagner with a
right to the jaw, but Wagner came
right back and was pummelling Faulkes
again In the clinch as the bell sounded.
Jumbo Wells Easy for Black Bill.
In the first semi-fnal Black Bill and
Jumbo Wells were scheduled to go six
rounds. Wells, the bike rider, was out
classed from the start and made good
use of his pedal extremities. Not nee
did he set the pace nor show the
slightest inclination to start something.
In the second round Bill knocked the
pe~dal-pusher off his pins with a right
to the jaw. Wells regained his feet. to
go down again for a count of four, and
the third time he went down the bout
was stopped.
The second semi-inal was q go I'd
"go' between Tommy Andreach, OF
Newark, and Jimmy McGuinn, of New
York. McGuinn was much heavier and
taller, and had the reach on the New
arkcr. In the second Andreach got
to McGuinn with a right to the jaw
and sent him to his knees. but he never
had a chance to get the New Yorker
after that. as he could not reach him.
In the fifth the New Yorker caught
Andreach on the jaw with a right
swing that carried every unc of his
strength and 1t dazed Tommy and made
his knees shake. The bell Changed just
in time to prevent n further damage
to the Newark boy. At his own weight
Andreach might defeat the visitor. as
he is far more aggressive and shiftier,
but he lost last nights Bout.
A Knockout.
Banty Lewis stopped Mickey Sayres in
three rounds. "A right, landed like a
battering ram to the jaw. set down the
Sayres boy in the third, and he wen
down twice more before he was finally
out. Lewis was none too strong at the
finish.
Joe Brown, of Frisco, and Young
Audabato, of Newark, put up a good
bout with the honors pretty even.

bato. but the local boy has a rood
