Bout at L0toS

Four bouts thai really were fights

fore one of the biggest houses that that
club has drawn for some time. There
was less stalling and more action per
second than there are medals per
square inch on the Clown Princes
breast.
lightweight of Morgan uncorked a
brand of fighting last night that had
his lenky opponent, George Ward Of
Elizcbeth at sea- Wilson sailed into
Ward from the very start and handed
the "Beanstalk" the worst beating he
has taken since he Joined the profess
sional ranks. George Ward, as we
wrote before, is a very clever boxer
and packs a knockout wa1lop in either
hand but all his touteed cieverness
availed him nothing when Wilson, with
four sheets to the wind sailed into him
and jaw. Ward displayed none of his
left and right hooks to the stomach
and jaw. Ward displayed nonee of his
knockout wallops, the best ne could
do being only light tapping. The sev
enth round was the only one in which
the Elizabethian earned a decision
n in that stanza he got the range
on Wilson'S jaw and landed several
jaw-crackers which Jared FRANKIE
into ugliness. This round was the
fastest of the fight and was give and
take throughout with Ward more or
less on the giving end. Wilson
fought at a fast n furious pace,
showing up better at this fight than he
bad at any previous mill here and
bested Ward in six of the eight rounds.
Ward was a great disappointment to
his host of friends but by his clever
rally in the seventh reigned favorite
again. The last round was nearly cur
sains for Ward when Wilson plas-
tered him ell roun the ring and a
him hanging on badly. Wilson's
punches to h heart and stomach
stopped Wards advances time and
again and not only did Wilson swing
the heavier wallops but he beat Ward
TO the punch many times although the
B~ettsytown boxer a the longer
reach.

ing. This time IL was Harry MrCrea
of Newark who administered the de-
feat n that was done in six rounds

his debut in a prize ring and in a
good advantage and also hit low but

on Tracy's jaw and was a round OF
continuous pummeling for Tracy. Tho

lar Brooklyn roughneck all over the
ring, rocking him with lefts and

a great propensity for assimiiatinE
punishment and McCrea was 40
