 CROWD CHEER
 IN STAR BOUT
(By wagner.3

1 Before he entered the ring last night Walter Mohr didn't have an ad- ] nnirer in the house. But after the haxen haired boy from Brook1yn had torn the hide from Gilbert Gallant i in 15 whirlwind rounds the enthusias- tic fans crowded around him. slap ping him on the back and calling him pal 7 Moar impressed the spec tators as one of the most capable and willing boxers who ever visited 1 this city. He gave a brilliant exl1i- bition and outpointed Gallant by a wide margin.
 The fight was the kind press agents are always fbabiblinS about but which you seldom see in real life. The two boys refused to adopt any Of the familiar stalling tactics and there was real action every minute. The first five rounds were as even as anything you ever heard about.
 But in the sixth Mohr began to pile up the points He found the range and rained blows on GaI1ant's face. The Brooklyn youngster is a hard hitter as we1l as accurate in his punches. He built large st1anty over Gallaut's eye and also cut the Boston boxers lip so that in the final rounds the gore was p1acidly circu- 1ating around Gallant's countenance.
 Mohr appears to have a jaw of. iron. Gallant, who is no s1ouch of
 
 on that part of the anatomy but Mohr only smiled and even held out his jaw for Gallant to swing at. He had no difficulty in hitting Gallant, his jaibs and swings cutting through be- fore the Bostonian could block tn em.
 After the sixth Mohr had 3 big advantage He landed oftener and suffered no damage in return. The only time Gallant came to life was in the 18th when he braced and managed to get an even round. Tn the 18th Mohr had Gallant against the ropes but could not put him away.
 gameness When he found he was up against a tough proposition he did not hang on to avoid further pun ishment but went right after his man. thereby giving the fans a. run for the money. Taken as a whole, the bout was the best seen here in years.
 The semi-dinal between Young Mo Auliffe and Teddy Hubbe proved an easy victory for MeAuliffe. Hul0bs appeared to be carrying a little excess weight and that was probably the reason he missed the train from New York and did not weigh in yesterday afternoon. It was announced that McAuliffe weighed 12S..
 The Barnllm avenue boy was too strong for Hubbs. He cut loose in every round and H1bbs had little chance. Hubbs is superior to Mo- Auliffe as defensive boxer but can not hit like Mac. So. after the first two rounds Mainline proved him. self the master Of the Acorn A c. favor1te. He soaked. Hubbs often, bringing the blood from his nose, and also planted many punches. The only consolation for Hufbbs is that with McAuliffe. But the latter also showed Improvement.
 Battling Kunz of South Norwa1k. shaded Harry Williams of New Ha- ven in six round go. He had a longer reach than his opponent and also displayed better footworl. Will Hams made the mistake of working too hard in the first two rounds. He has the punch, though, and in the last round scared Kunz by a final rai- 1y. He looks like a conner.
 Young Dundee beat Young Hoppe in the four round opener. It was. a rough and ready exhibition which delighted the crowd.
 There was a large attendance at the show and the promotors must have made money, although the card was expensive. Gallant was guaranteed $4OO with a privilege of taking per-. centage and MOhr was guaranteed $225. Tn the seni-flfal 1t was re- ported that McAulifre got $2O0 and Hubbs $10O. The show was well handled and everybody appeared sat- isf1ed.
