REFEREE SAVES CARROLL
San Francisco Boy Lasts Only
Six Rounds with O'Keefe.

Outcassed from every angle ofo the game
and hopelessly beaten by a better man,
Jimmy Carroll OF San Francisco, was
saved by the referee from being knocked
out at the hands Of Eddie o'Keefe in the
sixth round OF a ten-round bout at the
Olympic Athletic Club. OF Harlem, last
night Carroll rose from crushing knock
down. and unable TO hold his feet reeled
across the arena until he fell on the ropes
in his adversary's corner. His hands were
down. and he was helpless.
Game. however. he strove TO regain his
feet. but John Pollok mercifully interviewed
and aided him 10 his corner, Carroll pro-
tested against the action OF the official, hut
he was in such poor condition that another
punch would have knocked him out cold.
The result was never in doubt. and II was
gameness OF the superlative sort that kept
Carroll UP as long as he lasted. In the
second round O'Keefe beat him from pillar
TO post. rocking him from head TO heels
with savage left hooks and hard right cross
counters 10 the head and body
Carroll was foored in the third round by
a short right hand counter on the jaw. but
although groggy and weak managed TO last
out the round.
