M'DERMOTT is CLASS

Since the Permo A. A. closed its
doors, fandom in these parts have
not been offered so rare a treat as
that which presented to those who
attended the monster smoker of the
D. A. A. c. in their club rooms In
New street last night. Four fine
wrestling matches. three boxing
bouts and fancy bag punching COM
prised the card which was presented.
During the intermission between the
bouts, refreshments were served and
no one felt dull for q minute through
out the night.
John Larson OF this city, and Chris
Jensen, of Keyport, performed in the
main attraction of the evening"
wrestling bout. For fifteen minutes
the time decided upon, neither could
record a fall. Both seemed equally
strong at all moments and only once
was there any semblance Of a fall
Larson had his man when Jensen
slid off the mat and the referee had
to spoil Larson's best chance by or
dering both men to the mat again.
Another wrestling bout which was
as close and as good an exhibition
was between Johnny Janderup and
Nels Lamp. Both were aggressive.
and showed c~leverness at many cr1-
.tical stages. Lamp was several times
, about to be declared the loser when
he would swerve through a grip Of
Janderup and be ready to assume
the offensive. This bout lasted the
limit and no decision could be rem
dered other than a draw.
Byrne Toolan and Charles Howe
furnished much sport to the crowd In
one of the "prelim" wrestling bouts.
After much tussling, Toolan finally
recorded a fall. 1t took Byrne eight
minutes to win.
William Smith and Carl Nelson
gave a fine exhibition but the former
outweighed Nelson by a great mar
gin and after five minutes and TWEEN
ty seconds of clever wrestling, Smith
was declared the winner.
Kid Clemens, who showed so much
class and ginger at several Permo
A. A. stays, was matched against
Young Samsoe In a three round box
ing bout. Clemens displayed all the
stuff" he had aud seemed to be as
fast and aggressive as when he per-
formed before the Permo footlights,
He is still there with hat dream
land" wallop but as he was in an
exhibition bout, he kept the sleep
err" pill in reserve. Samsoe gamely
was the second party in this bout.
He was too small for Clemens and
also had a much shorter reach.
Joe McDermott, now known az Kid
Lead Pipe or the Fighting Plumber,
showed some championship timber
in his bout with Joe Dalton. McDer-
mott has a mighty wallop in both
mits and while he did not execute
either to any extent, Ii was evident
to the fans that he could deliver an
awful kick from either sleeve. Dal-
ton gamely boxed the three rounds
and also showed that he was mo
SLOUGH"
Kid Lewis and Young Bowman
gave a three round exhibition box
ing bout but the latter so much out
weighed his opponent that the match
was a bad one. However both show
ed cleverness and some nifty foot
work. Lewis was there with the
speed and evaded many stiff wallops
but when Bowman did land-it was a
telling blow, mostly because of his
weight.
Frank Bachman gave an exhibit
ton in fancy bag punching which en-
tertained the sports much. All
watched him perform for many min
utes. His work was great.
Bobby Macan acted as timekeeper
for all the bouts. John Larson was
the official In the wrestling bouts.
And Young Johnny Carroll refereed
the boxing bouts. Carroll did not
box last night because his opponent
was on the hospital list. Christian
sen did not show up for his wrestling
bouts for the same reason.
