BROWN Is KEPT
UNDER RAPS;; HE
SCORES, ANYWAY
New York Lad Whips Kauf-
man Despite Much Clinch-
ing by Benny
MODEL AND RYAN BOUTS


frankie Brown took n two-hour ride out
of New York last night saw Philadelphia
and conquered. The little Gothamite, who
is matched with Champion Kid Williams
for 20-round tltular tilt in Baltimore,
July IL, defeated Benny Kaufman in the
winG-up to the final show of the season
at the Olmypia A. A. However, Brown
did not impress the spectators with the
ears of a future champion as predicted by
former featherweght champion Abe Attell.
Probably II wasn't Francois fault as he
apparently was kept under raps by the
ose-quarter battling of Kaufman. AT
that Frank looks as II his ears may develop
into that of n champion
Brown was handicapped in his endeavor
TO display his real ability. He was
able to show more than ordinary ability
as Benny rushed into clinches almost con-
tlnually, and when the boys came to close
quarters, the Philadelphian held on most
of the time. on several occasions, how
ever, they exchanged series of slams, with
the New Yorker having the better of the
mix-ups.
In Browns previous showing here he took
part in a preliminary bout and was only
novice Last night the little form Frank
was able to demonstrate under the cir
cumstances proved that he was much
improved boxer. Brownie also has devel.
oped his punching ability and several times
rocked Benny with straight right-hand
punches or stiff uppercuts
Flop for G. Lewis
The substitution of Gussie Lewis, who
promised to develop into a star bantam
weight against Eddie o'Keefe, resulted in
bad piece of matchmaking and also a flop
for the youngster. At the opening gong
II was apparent that O'Keefe would stop
Lewis in less than a round, but Referee |
o'Brien came to the latter's rescue and |
( halted hostilities. Pop stepped between
the boys after Eddie had dropped Gussie |
with body blow and had connected with n |
one.two punch on the jaw after Lewis |
had regained his equilibrium. Gus wanted |
to continue, saying he wasn't hurt, but |
o'Brien used good judgment in not allow.
ing the contest to continue.
Terry Ketchell Joe 1obinson and Leo
Flynn were victors in the preliminary bouts,
respectively defeating frankie Clark, jim
my Cannon and Willie Spencer.
Bif, Bang, Zowie!
Punches of every description-good hard
wallops-are scheduled to be distributed
over the anatomies of Pat Bradley the
Italian, and Singer Charley Thomas in the
wind-up at the Model A. c. tonight. Brad
ley and Thomas are downtown favorites,
neither of whom know much about boxing
but when it comes to just letting punches
fly they hold class by themselves
South Philadelphia fistic followers are
manifesting much interest in this match
They are divided ia their opinion as to the
probable result, but whichever way the
tide goes, it's cinch each will know he
was In a real good Suggest. Both are
aggressive, slam-bang and hard punchers
which should make matters not only inter-
esting for themselves, but also for the
spectators.
At the Ryan
Jack Toland is scheduled to give RYAN
A. c. patrons a demonstration of how to
elude southpaw knockout wallops tonight |
He is paired off with Knockout Harry
Baker, of Wilmington, in the feature fray. |
and Jackie is scheduled for IS minutes of |
steady ducking, side-steppng. and careful
ness in the cinches.
However, Toland probably will do some
punching also during the time he is on !
the defensive. Jack hits pretty good with
straight left jabs and short right-hand
crosses, which may have Baker in a guam
dary in his endeavor to connect with a sleep
siam. 1t Will be case Of one boxer try
ing to win on points while the other is
working on the "one-punch" style.
