semifinaI is Feature.
Picking out a feature bout IS hard
! but the semifinal between Johnny
CoSe. of the Ninth Massachusetts. and
KID MuskOpf. of the Seventh infan-
F: try. was probably the star bout OF the
3 evening It was the Semlfinal ana
! ent the scheduled six rounds. Cose
D weighed i3S pounds and Muskopf 14V.
/ toSe had the reach and the science
while Aluskopf is A fighter. pure and
! simple, with grand heart and was
8 always tearing in.
The gloves had barely touched he
fore Muskopf started banging away
II the Bay Slater. COse was quite
capable of taking care of himself
. however. and most Of Muskopfs blow. s.
were ineffective The Seventh fighter
kept mp his agEressiveness in the ser-
Or round and had a small marEi--
COse hit cleaner and more effectivelr
in which he mad "A slight shade bus
MuSkOp4 was again the aggreSsor.
Science began to get the upper hand
IN the fourth and Muskopf eyes
showed the effects Of Cose's jabs. Cos
again had a shade in the fifth round
and looked like a winner but Muskopf
and. by great rally, held Cose even
and got a draw In a close decision
Cose would have won.
Decisions Are Satisfactory.
Lieut. LittlejOhn of the 18th cavalry
acted as referee of all the bouts and
Icave good satiSfa elton. except that h-
didn't break the main bout boys quick
II enough. Lieut. Lampert. OF the Z5Q
infantry. was timekeeper.
Edwards and Morley. both from the
Ninth Massachusetts, gave a cleVer
exhibition in the first four round boul-
Tney are therWelghts and both lOOk
good The referee called It A draw.
Jack Harris. of the Third Pennsyi-
vania. was too clever for Roche. OF the
Tna~n- H.
in the next four round bout Harris
outboxed Roche in every round ana
stood off the furious rushes of the
trooper by well placed jabs- Roch=
pounds more. Harris will likely get d
chance against another clever maa
soon.
Livingston Looks Classy
Livingston, Of the Second Pennsyi-
vania- Is a conner in the featherweight
division He showed real class againsI
Ferullo, Of the Ninth Massachusetts.
In the third four round bout Living
ston is a cool, clever boxer. while hss
opponent was snowy but lacked re2l
skill The referee stopped the bout in
the fourth round and gave the decision
10 Livingston Michael COburn. of the
Ninth Massachusetts, challenged the
winner
Then came two clever boxers. Jimmy
kilfeather. of the 31st Michigan. and
Cliff Sears. of the Fifth Massachusetts,
These boys were clever and the fans,
used TO the hard hitting contests. didn't
warm up to the fighters for the first
couple of rounds. Kilfeather weighed
1872 pounds and Sears 1870 The first
round was even, Sears had the second
and third by scant margins and the
fourth by enough to win him tho de-
cision. lie had Kiifeather down To-
the count Of six in this round These
boys break clean and their boxing is
free from dirty tactics. II is 70 be
hoped that both VIII be seen in a.
ton again Sailor Lewis. of the 21st
Michigan. challenged the winner.
Several ChaIIengerS Introduced
Then came the semifinal, already
described. and a 20 minute wait en-
sued while the main bout boys were

Jack Burke. Of the 10th infantry ma
chine gun section. Pvt. Hugo OF Field
Hospital No I, and Corp. Darby, Of
bakery company No. y. were all in
troduced- Tommy Gary and Jimmy
Dunn were also seen.
Potts OutpOinfs Terrence.
Potts entered the ring at 157 pounds
and Terrence at 1901 pounds. Tor
the aEgressor throughout the fight
Terrence would cover his head on
Fotts's attacks and would only open
up when he was in close and could
use the kidney punch. It was his
whole stock in trade. Terrence was
also guilty of some very foul holding
at times and Potts soon got into the
habit of butting. Potts lacked a punch
and while he banged away at Terrence
for ! rounds. he did no damage but he
had the tall 23d man rather tired in
the final round The referee hesita ted
at the close of the bout and then raisei
both gloves. On points. the decision
would have gone to Potts but neither
man has any kick coming
