Social Club, of this city. was pitted
against Krug, the siXteen-year-old
Turner lad, in the 1O8-pound ina
event. The former put up an inter

continually rush his opponent earned
him the donors. krug used left
jab consistently.
Hennessy shows Up We'll.
Probably the best performer Of the
night was Jerome Hennessy. who
succeeded In taking first prize in the
115-pound division. Hennessy was re-
markably clever for an, amateur, and
his footworlS was surely a revelation.
He met Nick Baldwin, a local unat-
tached performer. in the final event.

Hennessy took advantage of Bald
wins rushes and met them with
straight left jabs. Hennessy should

the Entire Nous, of Paterson, and
Thomas Quigley, of the Pnritans, OF

mixing the judges awarded the bout
TO the former. The decision was un-
popular, however, and the record
crowd on hand showed their displeas-
ure by kissing and jeering as the an
nouncer endeavored to present the
winner.

matched with John Jerecki, of the
Bay Beach A. c.. in the final event

cided that he had taken just enough
in two minutes and quit.

the 135-pound class, administering de-
feat to william Shine, of New Bruins
wick, who formerly attended Rutgers
College. Smith displayed ability to
jab and cover at the same time,
which enabled him to score many
points. Shine was willing to fight all
tho way, but Smiths jabbing proved
Just too much to overcome.

cision over Ed Craney in the final
event of the 15S-pound class. The lat
