Cine vs.. Morgan-Pippin!
H,d A couple of strange bulldogs wan
e,,A Into the ring and put up a battle
a ssttle a long-standing grudge, they
ma not have improved upon the con-
Az staged by Patsy Cline and Eddie
r,rran. These young gentlemen boxed
"a Of the most thrilling contests seen
hrs for many moons and for IS minutes
IA cash customers yelled themselves
loarse. Eddie was late In putting in an
,vpearance, and the delay only served to
rahs things more interesting.
There was no delay when the boys
tmped into the ring. Cline started after
Nefgan with that biff, bang, zowie stun,
ind IL looked as II the battle would be
a short duration. Eddie soon found HIM
ell, however, and came back at Patsy
tun New York, indulging in some of the
rough stuff himself. There was action in
tstly one OF the six rounds and at the
end, tie spectators were as tired as the
hs1ars
Morgan was outweighed by at least 10
pounds. but he put UP plucky battle and
d.seryed lots of credit. While no attempt
Fis made to detract from Cline's perform
srrs. be looked more like a lightweight
Elurday night, and made use of his addt-
thnal ayoirdupOis in the cllnches.
N
Real Good Show
lack McGuIgan put on a wonderful show
bF his patrons, and all of the acts lived
y to their press notices. From start
. finish II was a dandy card and the 5000
niruns went home satisfied.
hcGuigan made a hit with the crowd
bsl0re the semiwindup when he announced
lii while Morgan was on his way to the
cub be would put on an extra bout to
Rtp things going. Little things like this,
rhleh show that he Is in the business to
saase his patrons, always are appreciated
y hcGulgan's customers.
Zoe De Gan, a Roumanian billed from
iIianee, indulged in a running conyersa-

.annny stopped both the conversation and
ps running with a healthy wallop to Joes
~ Mr.. De Gan Is not Versed in the
.sar Of local boxers, and failed to keep
= mind on his work. He couldn't talk
'sa nght at the same time.
!, y was bout similar to that put on by
,,Mny Jarvis about a month ago, only
