BOUTS WERE GOOD.
Two Clashes on Bangor A. c. Card
Monday Night Pleased Fistie Fans.

Although his opponent had q shade
on him in the bout at the Bangor A.
C.. Arena on Exchange street, Bangor,
Monday night, Jack Shumway put up
better exhibition than in his previous
go with Young Jack O'Brien. Shum-
way was aggressive at all times, but
was unable to do noticeable damage to
the local lad who succeeded in getting
in some timely and telling whips.
The local boy, O'Brien. put up the
best fight, although the exhibition
made by Shumway is worthy of COM
ment.
In the other bout, this between Kid
Sullivan Of this city and Pooler Of
Brewer. Pooler was the better Of the
two. Sullivan was formerly one Of
tie best youngsters in this vicinity
and could take terrible hard punish
ment in the ring. For the past year,
however he has been going back
while Pooler has been coming for
ward all the while and the result Of
the bout Monday night was as sup
posed by those who have been watch
ing the two lads. Sullivan has been
training for couple Of months and
on Monday night was somewhere near
his old form, his shiftings and clever
hand and foot work being somewhat
along the lines he used when last in
the ring. Pooler had the punch, how
ever, and the punch told the story.
The other bout between Young Mar
tin and Kid DeRoss Of Brewer was
called off as Martin was unable to be
present.-Commercia
