PHILADELPHIA, April 6.-That the

whether he could upset tradition and

Howell was not only plucky enough to
be the first to meet Blackburn. but he
carried the fight to his taller opponent.
Blackburns reach and skill in blocking
were too much for Howell and few OF his
blows got past the superb guard. In the
fourth and fifth rounds there was too
much holding and clinching to please the
crowd. which voiced its disapproval
Howell played for Blackburn's body, but
many of his blows were short. AS he
stepped In Blackburn simply tied him up
to prevent infghting. He pinned him
with his elbows until the referee tore
Howell away. The bout was one of in
tense interest to those who revel in the
scientific side OF boxing.
There was one angle prior to the con-
test which showed Just what a man can

Howell. insisted those two pounds must
