RAY HATFIELD
is OUTPOINTED
Newark Boy Makes Poor
Showing--Lotos Club.

Jack Denning outclassed Ray Hat
field in O six round sparrtng exhibit
ton before the members of the Lotus
Club in the Auditorium, Monday
night. Denning, who halls from New
York, had a little weight on the New
ark boy, but even If Hatfield were
ten pounds heavier 1t Is doubtful If
he would have been able to do much
with Denning. The match was sched-
uled for six rounds but was cut to
five to allow the contestants to catch
trains for their respective homes.
Hatfeld's boxing did not come up to
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to that of the
management or the members. The
Newarker had trouble in keeping his
feet and in the fifth round slipped
around the ring as If he were on Ice.
Semi-Final Good.
The semi-final was an interesting
contest and first class in every par
ticular. Kid Leroy, of New York,
met Jimmie Howe, another New
York boy, and they certainly did go
some. They were evenly matched
and neither had any advantage over
the other.
PreIiminaries Interesting.
The pr~eliminaries were interesting
and in the opinion of many members
were the feature of the entertain
ment. Young Roberts, Of Port Rich
mond, S. l., and Dick Duffy. of
| Pleasant Plains, S. l., mixed 1t in
| great style for three rounds. They
| were never quiet a moment and were
| pretty tired at the conclusion, al
though Roberts seemed a trife
stronger.
Young Willis, of this city, and Kid
| Roessler, Of Atlantic Highlands, got
together for three rounds and won
much. applause. Willis was in fine
condition and was much more scien-
tifc than his opponent. Roessler
| was clumsy on his feet and the only
blow he had was a left"
Two colored boys, Leo Johnson, of
New York, and Billie Williams, Of
Brooklyn, put up a fine four round
exhibition. They displayed remark
able cleverness and wonderful foot
work. The match vas considered
one of the best ever witnessed by
the club members. Williams, al
though lighter than Johnson, was
there forty ways" and gave a good
account of himself.
Wrestling Match Stopped.
The scheduled wrestling match be-
tween John Parelli, of Staten Island,
and Young Zbyszko, of New York,
was q frost, although through no
fault of the management. Both
men were to have wrestled fifteen
minutes, but Referee George Monroe
stopped them after they had been
on the mat about two. The men ar
ranged the match at the last enter
tainment of the club and it was be-
Iieved that they would give an inter
esting contest.
1t seems that there has been
an old grudge between he and Zby-
szko for some time and when they
got on the mat they tried to settle it.
Parelli finally threw his opponent off
the mat, and the referee would not
allow them to continue.
Next Show July IT.
Despite the extremely warm
weather Monday night there was a
good turnout and with the exception
of the wrestling match the entertain
ment was thoroughly enjoyed. 1t
was announced that the next show
would be held on July IT, at which
time some boys we'll known In the
sporting world will appear. Among
those introduced Monday night were
James Mahoney, a 125 pound wres-
tier who Is willing to meet anyone
of his weight in the country, and Dan
McKettrtck, manager Of Joe Jean
nette and Willie Lewis.
