T AS I FOR
J. GETz
Pennsylvania Boy Is Willing
and Anxious, but He
Fails to Connect

Joe Getz of Pennsylvania did the
best he could against little Johnny
O'Leary at the Pavilion rink last even
ing, but his willingness and his ag-
gressiveness were not equal to the
Seattle, so when Referee Frank
Schuler handed O'Leary the decision
nobody was surprised Johnny won
by many length.
Getz had a nice right hand cross,
and he staggered O'Leary with it a
couple of times. but he was unable to
follow up any advantage which he
gained. OLeary, on the other hand.
kept peppering away with his left all
the time, and now and then he would
play for the body with his right. He
scored point after point. but, as usual,
his punches lacked steam.
The contest was fast and replete
with action every inch of the way.
and the fans kept up a steady volley
of cheering. When they opened up
Getz went right in after OLeary and
landed the first telling wallop, right
to the jaw. which shook the Sea tile
boy up. Getz rushed his opponent, but
OLeary cleverly blocked and stalled
and then peppered with his left.
O'LEARY TAKES LEAD
O'Leary took the lead in the first
round and maintained it throughout
the second. Occasionally his jaw
would come in contact with Getzs
right and his head would be shot
back. On these occasions he generally
managed to dance out of harms way,
and he always knew how to handle
his opponent when he did recover his
senses. His left hand did the trick.
Although the newcomer was beaten
fairly and squarely, he is worth an
other trial. He is strong and willing,
and he knows how to use that right
hand. He was the fresher of the pair
at the finish, but he simply could not
keep away from O'Leary's speedy left.
Getz looks like good lad over a
longer route.
Antoine la Grave fought AL Rogers
at his own game. and the pair mixed
1t fast and furious for four rounds.
Referee Burns called the battle a
draw, much to the disgust of the
crowd. La Grave looked to have a
good edge. His showing was sur
prise. He was game and took every
thing that Rogers had, and he was al
ways there with comeback. 1t was
one of those old time roughhouse mix
ups, both men keeping in close and
hammering away most of the time.
CARROLL BEATS DELL
Jimmy Carroll had more speed and
more skill than Harry Dell and this
earned the verdict for him. Dell did
not fight his usual fight. He was ag-
gressive enough. but he lacked judg-
ment of distance.
Roy Moore roughed himself to a
victory over Jimmy Lustro, new
conner from Los Angeles. Lustro has
a puzzling style and ought to make
good with a little more practice in
the short distance bouts.
Battling Kirk outweighed Jimmy
Drexel about 10 pounds and hammered
him hard. The sympathy of the
crowd was with the smaller chap and
Referee Burns decided it was a draw,
ALTHOUGH Kirk won mile.
frankie Jones and Tommy Stevens
tore around furiously. with honors
even up. Stevens Is aggressive and
game as well as clever and looks
like conner. Jones fought his usual
clever, heady fight.
Jim Turner knocked out Battling
Kelly in the first round, Jimmy Nc
vey got a decision over Ralph Grau
nan and Fred Wharton stopped Ad
Peterson in a punch.
