(from SUNDAYS Advertiserl
Madison was right on the bullseye
Ievery time with his unerring left in
their fight at Athletic Park yesterday.
Mccarthy was as wild as a hawk and
his aggressiveness was nuilifed by his
misiudgment of distance. That is the
story Of the battle in a nutshell.
The show was a good one in every
respect. The fight was one of the
classiest ever pulled off here and the
show deserved better house than was
totaled up. Yesterdays exhibition
has placed boxing here on the level
which it enjoyed before the lamentable
Mccarthy Cordell fasco.
Eddie Madison made good his claim
to superiority over johnny Mccarthy.
He Leaf the fighting 1rishman fairly
and squarely and Referee Heilbron s
verdict was most popular one.
Madison dazzled Mccarthy with
straight left which won the fight for
him. Mccarthy shone at infghting and
was probably the more aggressive of
, the two lads. His infighting however,
was futile against the superior de
Tense of Madison, who gave as clever
an exhibition of defensive tactics as
has ever been presented in Honolulu.
The first six rounds were practically
even. Mccarthy took the honors in
the seventh. Tee eighth was all Madi-
son s. So was the tenth. The eleventh
was an even break. Mccarthy netted
the most points in the twelfth. The
thirteenth was even Stephen. Madison
took the fourteenth by block and
made assurance doubly sure in the final
round.
Madison Scores often.
, Tn the first thirteen rounds Madison
scored time and time again with
straight lefts which, however, lacked
knockout force. In the eighth Madi-
son drew first blood, wicked iab to
q the nose doing the trick. Thereafter
he paid his attention to his opponent s
u nasal organ with telling effect.
