Four Rounds@"Soup' MccauIey-JohnnIe Carroll Fight
Lacks Expected Excitement-Three Other Bouts STAGED

\ al Roberts chalked UP another vic
tory over AL Wabo last night in the
main attraction at the Lotos Club
scraps In Palace Hall, but the battle
was far from being the same as that
In which the two men appeared the
first time. Wabo lost. That was GER
tain n he had taken about as much
punishment as any pugilist could en-
dure before Referee Danny Sullivan
lifted him from the floor in the sew
enth and dragged him to his corner.
Wabo gave a little lesson In game
ness which it would pay some of the
boxers to study n try to follow out
After stopping many of Roberts
steam Hammer" blows during the
first six rounds of the scrap, Waldo
got in the way of n left uppercu1
to his chin in the seventh which up
set him and proved to be the begin
ming of the end. Wabo.s form flew
across the ring. He Strengthened out
and crashed to the floor, striking his
back and head. He crawled to one
knee and looked YEARLY into his cor
ner as Sullivan counted. With the
| count Of nine WALDO saw his seconds
| making wild gestures for him to get
up. He did.
But he was doomed to go down

Wabo got to his feet Roberts was af-
ter him again, raining every kind OF
q blow imaginable at him. Then he
| drew back to set himself for n fin
ishfng punch.
Referee Sullivan saw 1t coming and
dashed across the ring to stop the
bout, but Roberts delivered 1t with
full force just an instant before Sui
Ivan got to the spot. Wabo crum-
bled up and dropped to the floor.
Sullivan sent Roberts to his corner
and then dragged Wabo to his corner,
where his seconds got busy over him
and Soon had him SO he could walk
from the ring.
Roberts followers went wild Gas
usual), but Wabo was given a big
hand too, when he crawled through
the ropes at the end of the fight,
Such remarks as IA game boy" 81
! wouldn't have taken that beating fol-
a million" and IA great scrap" were
| to be heard from all sides-and those
| who. had expected a one sided scrap
were the only ones disappointed.
Wabo weighed 100 pounds and
/ Roberts 1T, a difference of thirteen
pounds. WACO landed some hard
blows to Roberts during the course
/ of the fighting, out they seemed to
have little or nc effect upon the Stat
en- Island heavy champ.
Wabo showed up much better tnan
he did the las time and some Of his
blows seemed to have enough steam
behind them to mean a kayo to any
| one who stopped them. Roberts
| stopped many of them but they did
!, not; trouble him a great DEAL. During
the seven rounds all were Roberts
| with the exception of the second
which was q good draw as Wabo took
the offensive in this stanza and pull
! ed off some speedy work which SEEM
ed to cause Roberts to slacken his
pace.
Roberts was wilder than usual last
night, many misses being chalked up
against him. Wabo showed an I'M
believable amount of speed for such
q big man in lodging about so as to
miss Roberts blows.
A big crowd was present to witness
h bouts and an extra f~our-round
preliminary was added by Promoter
Joe McNulty, making the bill consist
of four tours, one six and an eight.
Scmi-finaI Poor Bout.
Although much was expected in the
semi-fnal in which Frank Soup
McCauley, of Staten Island and John
ny Carroll, of Chrome, were the prin-
cipals, his bout proved to be about
the least Interesting of the night
Soup" fought as If he were a novice
at the game and knew little about the
art while CAROLS continued Inch
ing and Willingness to take matters
easy added to the monotony. The
scrap was Carroll's If a decision or
the go was wanted but h absence OF
