GOLFER AND SPECTATOR
ONLY MEN TO HIT FLOOR

Last night was big night at the
State Armory one OF the most sue
cessful boxing shows ever held in the
city was the attraction, four bouts
being on the programme. In addition
to the boxing, the spectators were
treated 30 an exhibition of club
swinging, of tho fancy sort, by Frank
Kyle. The entertainment was wit
messed by a number of state, city and
county officials and the crowd was a
representative gathering of lovers OF
clean sport
The only real knock downs that
occurred during the evening was when
Police Sergeant Bayley broke a chair
he was sitting on and went to the
floor, and shortly afterward when the
chair went from under a spectators
and he landed on the slippery floor
with a thud. Neither was injured how
ever.
Furman G. Cole. an active member
OF the Imperial Athletic Club, and
hacker of clean sport, refereed the
bouts, and his work was Of a high
order. The programme was well ar
ranged and the men well matched

cited.
The premier bout Of the evening. IN
the opinion OF many, was between
Steve Stanley, OF this city. and George
Bray of the Camden. N. j.. Armory.
These boys mixed it up in a lively
fashion. They broke well and Referee
Cole had little trouble in keeping
them apart and on the go all the time.
Had a decision been given Il could
have been nothing other than draw.
The curtain raiser was between
Johnny Ross and Young Coolen. both
of this city. They fought TO a draw.
The second bout between Young
Redmond. of Wilmington, and Dan
McMann OF the Philadelphia Ar
mory. and Judging from the manner
in which the mill started, the. game
would have been good one. I'm
fortunately, however. the Philadel-
phian had a bad lip anl in the second
round punch on the month opened

Referee Cole stopped the fray at this
stage. not because McMann was in
distress but because persons present
who did not understand the boxing
game might think the boxers was In
distress McMann left the ring as
fresh as when he entered It.
Nat Goodman, a Wilmington boy
took McMaun's place and he and Red

four rounds.
