Aris Duval, the PRIDE of the MeGill
pugilistic fanciers, made a success
full debut as a fighter last night, at
the new garage, by knocking out
Tommy Geraghty in the ninth round
of the first Queensberry entertain
lment provided for boxing enthusiasts
in this city, since the last legislature
placed a ban on finish fights in this
state.
The sleep producer found its mark
after twenty-five minutes of the fast
est milling seen in these parts. When
the moment seemed opportune, Du-
walls dexter glove shot across Ger
aghty's stomach like a fash, and it
was evident to the assembled throng
that he had found a vital spot Ger
agility dropped for the count.
The fallen fighter attempted to-
stagger to his feet but without
actual encouragement. While Ref
cree Hogan was tolling off the fatal
seconds, Geraghty lay writhing on
the mat Without further ceremony,
Hogan awarded the laurels to the
eighteen-year-old boy VINO had made
his first appearance in the fistie
world The theft of the statue of
liberty could not have created a
greater furor.
The victor was outfought and out
generated during the first six rounds,
and but few believed tnat he could
emerge from the fray a winner.
Round after round Duyal, with his
face cut up. and blood streaming
therefrom. never faltered.
At the beginning of the seventh he
infused a little extra energy into his
boxing, and got home with some pun
ishing blows which turned the tide
of battle.
He traded hooks and uppereuts
with his adversary. and went al
things determincdly after he had
found his proper stride. The truth
of the matter is that Duyal had the
best of the fight as soon as he had
regained his strength.
Duyal was the first to enter the
ring, and his appearance was the
signal for a generous outburst of ap-
plause from that section of the arena
where the smoke shovelers congre-
gated. Geragh'y appeared few
minutes later and was loudly cheer
ed There was but little delay in
getting started. The principals and
Referee Hogan were introduced by
the announcer, the fighters stepped

hundred persons in attendance and

in an orderly fashion. Lewis {.

eran of many gridiron battles in the
district, acted as referee. and John
Robbins was the choice for time

agility.
Duva's assistants were Jack Mink.
G. Wilkerson and Shaughnessy, while,
Geraghty had for his advisors. RAJ

The best man won," said Tommy
Goraghty. when interviewed shortly
after the fight by representative OF
the News. II am not anxious to take
away any of the honors from the vic
tor. and will say that the knockout
blow was absolutely fair. Duval out
weighed me twelve pounds, which
advantage, believe, was in way
responsible for my defeat. | wish to
challenge any man in the district at
