convinced that boxing has as many Vood

Summed up, I believe that boxing Ia

SMITH TOO MUCH FOR WAGNER
Inability to Time Punches Proves
Latter's Downfall at Quaker City.

Harry Smith scored an easy victory
over Harry Wagner in the main bout at
the Quaker City A. A, last night Wagner
found his opponents awkward style puz-
zIinE, and at times he launched out des-
perately with a series Of right and left
swings. Comparatively few OF his blows
found Judgment, and when ne became too
active in his attack Smith would tie him
up in a clinch. Smith connected with
right swings to his opponents face and
body often enough TO give him the de-
cision by a wide margin.
Noah Mitchell won from Young Lowry
i'm the semlwlnd-up. Both boxers are
Negroes, and II was a free exchange OF
punches throughout. with Mitchell land
