Joe Forgione, frankie Wilson and
Joe Ryder, all came through on the
winners end of their eight round
bouts at the Lotos Sporting Club
show last night. All three bouts went
the limit although the Ryder-Long
mill proved a runaway for the
clever Ryder. who led all the way.
The other two scraps were fought nip
and tuck throughout and had the
house in a continual uproar.
Joe Forgione. the popular Newark
fighter, vened up his score with
Bobby Michaels by handing him a
pretty beating. In q previous set-to.
Michaels had won over the Newark
boy so the beating last night made
the score one-all. A terrific left clip
to the Jaw in the third round a the
cause OF 1t all. In this round Bobby
led for Forgione's head and missed.
leaving his chin uncovered. The New
ark lad started a left that landed on
Michaels Jaw. This blow knocked
the New Yorker fighter from the cen
ter of the ring into the ropes. How
Bobby weathered this round IL a mys-
terry. During the rest of the bout, al
though he did some good fighting he
seemed to feel the third round punch
and didn't put up the clever fight he
did at his last clash with F~orgione.
The first two rounds were Michaels

but after that jaw cracker the fight
was all Forgione. In the NTH Bobby
made a brave rally that esrned him
a draw, but the third. fourth. sixth
and eighth rounds went TO F~orgione.
. In the opening bout of the even
ing. Frankie Wilson proved a better
fighter than Make Green OF New
eight rounds. This fight was the oret-
test OF the evening and although the
Morgan boy come through a winner
he had to extend himself to the ut
most to conquer Green. Both men
took considerable mauling. but VIII
son didn't show the effects as much
as Green. Frankie's siedge hammer
blows contributed to Green's defeat
The first round found Wilson with
a slight shade. In IN second round
both men did a lot OF mussing and
some heavy blows were given n
taken. Each man seemed willing to
take a wallop In order 10 get n
home on his opponent. The third
round was punch for MUNICH and an
even one. The fourth. fifth. sixth and
seventh rounds were all wilson's by
a comfortable marRin. The-iast round
porved a corker. when both men went
at each other hammer and tongs and
fought a draw.
Joe Ryder. the rugged little fighter
err or Brooklyn. VINO rougnt Al COOK n
draw here last week. won from john
nv Long quite easily. Ryder's com
bination punch in the ciinches. a right
hook 10 the Kidneys and hen to the
head, wore the Newark bow down for
siz rounds Ryder used his killing
kidney punch until the sixth. when
the crowd started kissing this brutal
punch, whereupon Ryder fought
clearly.
Ryder was entirely too clever for
Long taking most of the Newark
lads punches on his elbows and
gloves. Long displayed lots of
stamina by lasting eight rounds with
so clever an opponent. In the NTH
and eighth rounds Long showered q
fash OF speed. but the pace proved
too hot and he soon took the defensive
again.
