CARDELL DISPLAYS
EFFECTIVE WALL0P
Montclair Scrapper Easily Out,
points Young Brooks in Bout
at Tr0xler's.
SKLENAR SHADES PALMER

Young Cardell, the clever Montclair
youth, outpointed Young Brooks. OF
Jersey City, in the main four round
bout at the Central Institute last
night. From the moment they began
the first round Cardell easily out
classed his antagonist, but Brooks
took all that came his way without
a sign of weakening. Cardell used
left jab very effectively, in fact
his performance last night was the
best he has shown for some time.
He was seconded by Patsy Kline and
the urging of the hard-hitting feath-
erweight encouraged Cardell to mix
it all the way. Brooks got over some
light jabs on the breaks.
This Was "some" MIL.
The next best bout of the evening
was that between frankie Mahon, of
Harrison, and Billy Telesco. of this
city. Mahon substituted for Kid Karl,
who apparently had cold feet, as he
was seen at the Central Institute
shortly before he was scheduled to
box, and later disappeared Mahon,
who had not trained for the milling,
opened hostilities in a rather unsuc-
exchange wallops with Telesco, with
the result that the latter caught
MafIon with left to the jaw and
frankie went to the boards. He arose
in a dazed condition only to be banged
to the mat again. A third time Mahon
went down for nine counts, but game
all the way, he arose to hold on for
dear life until the bell. After that
the lads mixed it every inch of the
way. They should be rematched. A
draw would be fair decision.
Joe Sklenar, who boxes in man
ner that is hard for others to de-
four round bout, and won by a shade.
Palmer started off well. but did not
discover Sklenar's infighting tactics
until too late.
Perna Goes Out.
Mickey Perna was beaten in a four
round mill with Babe Angert. Perna,
who was the ITO pound amateur
champion of this State, began the at
fray in a most artistic manner, but
Angert soon found out the why's and
wherefores of his opponent, and
slammed banged enough to gain the
verdict. After the four round event
Pernas brother was unpleased with
the showing of the amateur champ,
and endeavored to push him to his
dressing room. Mickey wouldn't have
it that way, however, and turned on
his brother. The seconds parted
them, however.
Francke and Grant Draw.
Yaung Francke boxed four rounds
to a draw with Battling Grant, Kid
Felix forced Young Reynolds to quit
in the second round; Sam Malang
remained less than a round with
Young Rogers; Joe Smiths left jab
was too much for Steve Parillo and
the latter quit in the third round.
Eight star bouts will take place
next week, among which the follow
ing boxers will appear: Young Dom
lev and frankie Gardner, Joe Cas-
sidy and Eddie Jackson, Young Nc
Cam and Young Reilly, Kid Henry
and Young Phillip and Young Shaw
and Buck Jersey.

Cyclist of ''Pest Team" Fame
Hero of Near Romance
in Boston.
PRETTY 6-DAY RACE IDYLL
Miss Mack Lost Her Heart and
Freddie Found 1t,
But

During and following the recent Bos-
ton six-day race no-decision romance
was pulled off that is really worth
telling about. Six-day races are bad
at best for many reasons, but prob
ably their worst feature Is the fact
that romance invariably butts in to
add greater strain to some heart
that is already overtaxed with exer-
ton and it's load of strychnine.
The fascination the six-day races
hold for the thousands who patronize
them has never been explained, but
1t is there and probably will always
be there as long as six-day races are
perpetrated on the public. But as
long as they are run the devotees of
the sport are going to lose something.
The men will continue to lose their
overcoats and pocketbooks, while the
girls lose their hearts.
+ "No-Decision Romance"
While those affairs of the heart
that have marked other six-day races
have all been K. O.'s with Cupid the
winner, this Boston affair went the
limit, with no decision, when 1t
looked like Cupid would win in a
punch. The principals in this ro-
nance are Miss Eleanore Mack, late
with George Cohan in broadway
Jones" and Fred Keefe, of Cleveland,
Tasmania. Miss Mack is Boston
girl.
Z Miss Mack was one of the singers
in the cabaret, which was one of the
faatureS of the race and which was
an innovation credited to Floyd Mac
Farland, the manager. A third per-
son in this romance was the press
agent for the grind, who saw a
chance to figure the exceptionally
pretty singer In a personally conduct
ed romance that would make good
