the Mcmahon brothers thought IL would be
a better match for Dundee to box Houck

Eddie McGoorty and Fred Klaus are still

ranged for the middloweight championship,
left vacant by the death OF Stanley Ketch-

through a series OF elimination bouts until
they are right at the top OF their class
Klaus has many friends who believe that
his rough and siambang style would wear
McGoorty down. while the latters friends
declare that Eddie's science and skill
would count. 1t may be, however. that
terms agreeable to both VIII he decided
upon and that the class once more Will
have a rightful champion.

MALONEY OUTPOINTS SMITH
Ordinary Boxing Marks Bout at
Browns Gymnasium.

Tommy Maloney outpointed Cy Smith in
ten rounds OF ordinary boxing at Brown 8
Gymnasium last night. Maloney held forth
I'm every round by a slight margin. but
he found Smith always ready and willing
The latter boxed his usual rushing battle
wading in and whaling his hail-like arms
about in haphazard sort of manner. Upon
his toes Maloney stood back and beat him
TO the punch with a left hook to head or
body. In the clnches Maloney drove his
mans head back with a right hand upper
cut. So 1t was throughout, with Cy always
humping his head into a punch in the effort
to land telling blow.
The best bout of the night was a four
round contest between Eddie Moran, the
Italian bantamweight from the East Side,
and Johnny Bell. The former won decis-
lively on points. Eddie was cool and clever
and showed great Improvement over his
work of the past He stood off and
slammed his left hand 10 the head time
after time, while his short right hand en-
counter to the jaw carried a world of force
behind IL. Bell was lucky TO last the limit
for in the third round Moran had him on
the ropes when tho bell rang.
Bob Williams, who once masqueraded as
a hope" knocked out Eddie Smith In two
rounds.
Bull Anderson's strength and aggres-
siveness carried him to victory over Terry
McGraw In ten rounds at the Royale Attn
letic Club, Of Brooklyn last night Anderson
ripped and tore away at his man and
finally earned the honors by a slight but
well defined shade.
