Smith stated that the boys had asked
for even a shade verdict and he thought
Fowser had earned il.
Fowser had improved IS percent. over
his showing against kid" Webster.
With the exception Of a liberal use Of
a the elbows in the first round, he fought
clean, and when FOWser learns that the
elbow is a foul blow. he will make
even faster progress FOWser talks Of
going east TO try the anne there. He
VIII have a chance with the best If he
to improve, but should first
pay more attention to the elimination
Of the elbow blow. heeling with his
glove and the kidney punch. The kid
ney punch is not generally recognized
as a foul blow, but If Frankie goes to
New York state he viii find that it is
barred there. as il is also in Wisconsin.
FOWser Had n shade
The 1ork-FOWser bOut was on a
winner take a IL basis and was a close
affair from start to finish. Neither had
any advantage Up to the sixth round,
hen FOWsers aggressiveness won him
2 shade and also the decision. York
c"omplimented the n and then
challenged Fowser for q 20 round bout
While neither is a champion, these boys
would put up a good bout and the
writer would like TO see them get the
next semi-final at Juarez over a 10
round route
Herriek-GeOrge Bort s-Tame.
Jack Herrick and Kid" George were
carded as the main attraction" for a
% round bout They went the full
limit, after which the referee raised

showed main bout caliber and the bout
was a very tame affair
George was a huge disappointment
He started out at a whirlwind pace and
the fans settled down to see a corking
good put Both began to fade after
the fourth round, and while Herrick
danced a round i a dancing master.
his work lacked finish. but he did the
leading and for that reasOn was given
the decision George was slow after the
sixth round, ~"telegraphed" his blows
and landed only after a rush. He ha
Herrick worried two or three times but
failed TO follow up his advantage
George Was Too Heavy.
There was some talk~Of matching the
winner with a good man, but il is IN
likely that either will be given a main
bout here again. George talks of 60

are some mighty tough middleweights I
in the east. He weighed about 10
pounds Sunday night. but was packing
at least 10 pounds Of superfluous
weight 4!
Meek Stuck to Schedule.
Manager John Meek, Of the Juarez A.
C.. must be given credit for staging his
card strictly on schedule time. The
first affair, a battle royal, started
sharp at $50 o'clock. This proved
a poor affair, as the negroes
were too keen on hitting the canvas and ,
getting out of the fray. Brown Ed" !

after he was left alone with Curly"
the referee made him get up twice !
and then, on the third occasion. told
him to beat it"
The semi-final started at S:45 o'clock. I
according to schedule. and the windup
contestants were in the ring at 9:15 and
in action five minutes later. Mr.. Meek
deserves great credit for the manner in
the bouts were handled.
He also had all the boxer break
clean, which eliminated a lot Of foul /
