]. DALTON WINNER
in VERY SLOW BOUT
Poor Card at Windsor Greets
Small CrOwd-Schiff Fails
To Please Fans

A very poor fight card greeted q
very small crowd at the windsor
arena last night The preliminaries
were not nearly up TO the Glassco stan
dard. and when time for the final bout
arrived, the crowd was in a position
TO be satisfied with anything spec
tscular and Disguised with anything
that did not exactly suit their fancy.
The Dalton-Schiff fight did not suit
their fancy. and IL was raging COM
mittee OF fans that stormed the De-
trcitbound ferry shortly after 10
O'Clock.
Dalton outpointed Schiff by wide
mar gin, and there was tendency
among the spectators TO express the
belief that Schiff did not possess any
thing In the way OF pugilistic ability.
II Is a fact that Schiff did not show
anything except contsmptuous dis
regard OF the shower OF left pokes that
Dalton landed en- his jaw. Having
made up his miEd that Dalton could
not hurt him, Schiff let the little
Italian pound away and awaited a
chance to land single knockout blow.
He was still waiting when the eighth
and last round ended.
Having been returned victor In a
number Of 20-round battles, II is prob
able that Schiff has found that method
OF milling profitable in the past. II
didn't work In a short bout under
Windsor rules, however. and Windsor
fans gave Johnny to understand that
they want action and not quite so
much strategy in their ffsticuffs.
