NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Tommy
" O'Keefe, of Philadelphia, the
boy who fought so sensa-
tionally in Atlanta last spring, re-
turned to his home in the Quaker
village today, a sadder and wiser
lightweight as the result of his eff
fort to take Leach Cross number
in a ten-round bout at the St.
Nicholas rink last night. Cross
won in a walk.
During the two opening rounds
the Philadelphia tore after the
dentist, but soon tired himself out.
Cross let O'Keefe do all the heavy
work until he began to tire from
his own execution and then opened
up and pounded Tommy at will.
In the first round Cross slipped
to. his knees and claimed he had
been fouled. The referee and most
of the spectators thought Leach
was stalling and he was roundly
Kissed.
From the fifth round on it looked
as though Cross was going to win
any second by a knockout, but
O'Keefe used all his marvellous
cleverness and managed to stall
and clinch through the entire ten
spasms. If the bout had gone an
other round or two the New Yorker
would have surely won a decisive
victory.
