 CUllEN.GAGE
 60 25 ROUNDS
 ID \ DRAW Neither Fighter Damaged in Long Hot Session; Fans Pleased with Sport; tt Mexican Kissed

Danny Cullen and Frankie Gage, both hsiling from Los Angeles fought 25 rounds to a draw in the arena Of the, Southw astern Athletic club at Agua Prieta Sunday afternoon. Both boys weighed in at the light weight class, but are built very differently, Cullen being tall and rangy, without much weight on any part of his body. while Gage is short. but very com pact and stocky. Their style of fight ing was also different, Cages special itly being the infighting at close quarters. while Cullen excells at long range and on foot work. Although their methods of offense were differ ent, each showed an almost perfect defense against the other, and neith- CT was able to hurt the other to any extent
 The bout was fought in the hottest kind of a sun, before a crowd of sew eral hundred fight fans from Bisbee and Douglas and a number of the resi- dents of the Mexican border town. IL followed two preliminaries which Were remarkable in the amount of blood that was spilled during each of them
 The opening bout between Kid ter ", a colored boy of Douglas and Doc Lee of Bisbee was schedI led as a six round affair. but ended in a third when the referee gave the fight to Jerry on & foul. At the very start of the bout Jerry began to hammer Lees face and by the time the be-, ended the opening session he had his white opponent covered with blood anu ap. parently in distress. The ssme pso- gram was followed during the second and third rounds, until the referee ing several times.
 Clyde Dwight, Robbie Waugh's spar. ring partner met Blackie Mitchell in the second preliminary. Dwight was too young and inexperienced for Mitchell, but although bleeding pro fusely from the nose and mouth after the first round, he put up a plucky scrap until Waugh who was acting as his second tossed up the sponge in the seventh round and saved him from a knock out that seemed inevitable.
 The preHminaries whetted the ap- petites of the fans, and they were all on edge when the principals for the main event appeared in the ring at 3:30. Referee Fogarty introduced Waugh and announced that he would meet the wiRner sometime during the next few weeks, and also introduced Jimmy Evans who acted as CuIlen's chief second. but is reputed to be some fighter himself and will prob ably appear as a principal in a bout at Agua Prieta in the near future
 Considerable partisan feeling was shown in the crowd before the call of time, each boy having many support CTS, but there was little betting done, although several Douglas sports did a lot of talking about how they wanted to stake their money on their favorite. The general opinion seemed to be that Cullen would not be able to go the route on account of his recent arrival in this altitude and that if he were 10 win he must do so during the first ten or twelve rounds, and no one was of the opinion that he would stand the strain of more than fifteen rounds.
 There was little boxing in the first round, as both seemed satisfied to size up his opponent and plan for ac- ton later In the second round Gage started his tactics of rushing in close and clinching, which he continued un- til the finish. Cullen preferred to fight at longer range and did his best work at that style of milling, but did not try to keep away from Gage. and held his own with him in the clinch. es. Things were even until the fourth when Gage took the lead for a short time, but Callen came back strong in the next session, and show. ed skill in blocking and lodging all through the encounter.
 The first fifteen rounds were all very similar. with several clinches in each, from which the referee had tC part the fighters, and one or two short
