All the Knockout Artist Had Was An Ability to Take Puniahment- Jeff Began Stopped In Seventh Bosse Defeats Pappas In Uninteresting Bout.

Al Shubert, the crack little bantam of New Bedford. gave Knockout Eggers of New York the worst beat ing of his career in the star bout of ? rounds at the Casino last night, fitting him with everything but the )roverbiaI water bucket, and only for the lack of steam in the New Eng Iander's punches the uninteresting affair would not have gone beyond the fifth round.
 Eggers was on the receiving end all through the fray, not once show ing a spark of his old time form; in fact, any preliminary fighter would have done better than the New Yorker, whose toughness was the only outstanding feature of the whole 12 rounds.
 Eggers says he would have made a better showing but for the fact that he broke bone in his left hand dur ing the second round. This prevent ed him from landing any heavy wal Iops, he declared. Dr. Finnegan of Stratford avenue treated the injury and said: "I made an examination of Eggers' hand and discovered the third metacarpal bone broken close to the wrist"
 Shubert carried every round by a, wide margin, giving a clever exhibi- ton of infghting, landing on every inch of Eggers' body and face. but each time the latter backed away and smiled without attempting to do any of the work at all.
 Eggers was warned by Young Nc AuIiffe a number of times to inject a little pep into his work but each time Shubert would speed up and Eggers was lost in a fusiIade of blows.
 In the fifth round Eggers showed signs of life and sent his famous left twice to Shubert's head and once again in the sixth he landed a few punches and then had a relapse until the 11th when he nearly overcame himself in an attempt to produce a little opposition on his part
 Time and time again the Massa- chusetts boy would hold Eggers off with his left and pound him at will with his right to the jaw and head until he was tired, but Eggers' smile never wore off.
 Both boys weighed in under 124 pounds ringside.
 The Frankie Wilson and Jimmy Kane fracas was the only interesting mill on the card, Kane winning the decision over the local boy by the good use of his left jab and strong work in the cltnches, taking six out of the ten rounds.
 The New Yorker was a little too clever for Wilson, who couldn't get out of the way of the formers left, which caused him to become wild and miss frequently with both hands.
 Kane was also strong in the clinches, tipping Wilson's head back with right uppercuts and sending in hard rights to the stomach.
 The second bout of the evening be- tween Jeff Began of the Acorn A. C.. and Young Angelo of Stamford prov ed fizzle, Began believing in the say ing, He who runs away lives to fight another day" by running around the ring from Angelo until the seventh round when Young McAuliffe decided to put an end to the marathon, de- claring the Stamford boy the winner. Began started off well piling up points with his left jab, picking at Angelo's face and starting his mouth to bleed in the third. But Angelo proved the stronger of the two and by running after Began for five rounds he wore him down and starte d in to pummeI him hard in the fifth, cutting his lips and the latter started holding. The sixth was just a chase, Angelo after Began, and after a little more running in the seventh Me Auliffe put an end to it.
