There was action aplenty for $500
fans who attended the outdoor boxing

cleverness for his rugged little oppon-

however, was too rugged to take the
count. He took all Johnson had to

A. c. ShOw

With an eight-round bout that will
long be remembered by the denizens
of South Amboy, the Amb0y A. c. OF
that place, initiated the people across
the river into fistania last night.
The final, the bout in which Jack
sharkey shaded Frankie Farina wa
q battle all the way. OF the eight
rounds, Sharkey lead In four but had
70 fight hard to win by the shade he
did. In the fifth round Farina broke
his right hand but gamely continued
fighting. Sharkey also broke his
hand, in the seventh round. The
fighting was furious at times. The
referee received a bad cut over the
eye while trying to part the boys.
The rest of the bouts proved very
tame, two of the would be" fighters
quitting cold while another was so
completely outclassed that the referee
stopped the bout in order to save him
q bad beating. The only other bout
going the full course was a prelimi-
nary bout between Pete Harvey Of
North Amboy and Dannie Burns of
New York. Burns toyed with Harvey
for the four rounds n had him in
a bad way at the finish. Burns had

bout was scheduled for eight rounds.

poked at the ball. rather than hit at
it. His swing was short and naturally
more accurate than the longer swings
of the average batter. He was able
to wait until the ball was almost upon
him before poking at 1t. Many of
Keeler's hits were pokey little flies,
just past the infield. The delayed
swing made 1t difficult for any pitcher
