Boxing Bouts at Doyle's

fairs: Ban On Blood.

Among FL Paso lovers OF the mitt
game who know and appreciate a
well conducted boxing show is J. r
SegalI. an ardent booster Of clean ath-
letics. Returning from the Pacific
coast Nj. Segau tells OF some OF the
most satisfactory bouts he has ever
witnessed IN the squared circle. The
matches in question were staged at
the Los Angeles arena Of Jack Doyle,
whom Mr. Segau highly compliments
for business like and good shows.
THE boxers were all well matched,
which IS the first essential for a good
match" states Mr.. SegalL THE arena
is wei arranged and shows are at
tended by an exceptionally large
number OF women. Real fighting IS
the order Of the day there. The man
who is a ring Stacker knows that he
viii not get a cent. Yet all brutality
is strictly barred. I saw the referee
on several occasions wipe blood from
boxers while they were in action and
stop bouts when bleeding became
such that he could not keep the box
ers presentable. For a referee to
carry a sponge is a new one on me.
There was some humor at times in
the situations. The battlers fire.
Quently landed solid body blows that
carried misery with them and sent
short, stiff ones to the jaw that
rocked the head. These Furnishing
blows were given little attention for
the most part by women fans while
a tap on the beezer that started
strawberry juice but did scarcely any
real damage was received with hor-
Tor. So the referee puts an end to
the claret."
