 HUGHES, MEYERS SCORE K. D.
Veteran Phadephan Fights Very Crafty But Futile Battle
 Against Husky Young Douglas Cavayman Bout Is Full of Action in Every Round and Scores Big Hit With Audience Ot 20OO Fans; BiSbeeS Two ReIabeS Decisive Winners

Youth and speed again demon strated their superiority over experi- ence. handicapped by age, when l Russell Chambers, the sturdy First cavalryman from Douglas, was ad- | judged the winner last night over i Frank Loughrey, the philadelphia bearcat," at the end of ten grilling rounds at the Warren baseball | grounds. When Jack Mcdonald, the referee. raised Chambers gloved left | hand there was hardly a whisper of dissent from the crowd of nearly 2.000 that had been kept on its toes through out one of the best cards put on in Arizona since the new boxing law went into effect.
 There were many of Loughrey's supporters who believed that had the fight been to finish his superior ring generalship would have asserted 1 itself and that he would eventually have landed the old "haymaker" on Chambers jaw. But to the majority of the crowd. Chambers looked win ner all the way through. He was | fighting all the time and several times had Loughrey in the ropes.
 ! Loughrey in every round, while the Philadelphian evidently was waiting l for an opening for his right, which never came. Loughrey's left was working we'll and he rocked the First cavalryman's head number of times, | but when it came to trading punches, Chambers always emerged the fresher. Chambers sadly needs boxing les sons, and he left openings that fast CT fighter than Loughrey would have | taken advantage of, hut he kept his head, took some hard punches with a smile, was fighting all the time and showed the makings of first-class miller. Chambers was a trifle the taller, but both men weighed the same, at 140.
 Two Bisbee Fighters Win With the preliminary card shot all to pieces through injuries to three fighters at Douglas the otEer night, the fans nevertheless were given good show in two of the siX-round pre- liminaries. Incidentally those two de pendable Bisbee fighters. Johnny My CTS and Johnny Hughes, each won over Douglas soldier by the K. O. route. Referee Jack Mcdonald handled the bouts in his usual capable way. A big Douglas delegation came over, but was unwilling to back Chambers to any extent, on account of Lough- rey's reputation as a fighter on the ''big time" The majority of the bets were that Loughrey would not knock ! Chambers out. Loughrey was taking | few chances of a knockout: neverthe- ! less he didn't shirk the fight and he gave the fans a gcod show for their money.
 Loughrey Knocked Throuph Ropes Loughrey demonstrated his superior boxing skill in the first round. but in the second Chambers knocked the Philadelphian through the ropes. He was caught by the crowd and came up smiling and unhurt. Chambers again rushed him into the ropes and while Loughrey was going strong at the end, it was Chambers round. %.
 In the third Loughrey was again knocked into the ropes, but came back strong and traded punches with | the cavalryman on an even basis. Chambers rushed Loughrey into the corner and in a clinch hit him sus- piciously low, Loughrey warned him not to repeat these tactics and the round ended even.
 l Chambers came up in the fourth much the fresher and carried the fight | to Loughrey. who was again driven into the ropes. Loughrey got in two | left punches that rocked Chambers head. but the latter was going as fast as ever when the gong rang.
 | In the fifth round Loughrey again | landed in the ropes, but came back
 strong and got in two lefts to Cham
 bers' jaw. rocking him for a moment, They traded punches again, with a
 shade in Chambers favor. AS the round closed, Loughrey's nose con nected with a stiff left.
 The sixth was even, with Referee
 Mcdonald working overtime to pry them out of clinches.
 Seventh Ioughrey's Round
 Loughrey gets credit for the seventh
 round. driving Chambers into the
 ropes and landing lefts to the jaw and
 rights to the body. Loughrey rocked him with straight left, then slipped and almost fell as the round closed. Chambers came up fresh in the eighth. knocking Loughrey into the
 ropes again. but neither boy was in ! trouble.
 Chambers was smiling again in the ninth and rushed Loughrey to the
 ropes twice. the latter getting in his left twice. Near the end of the round Loughrey missed a risht swing that
 nearly threw him off his feet.
 Both boys were trying for a knock
 out in the tenth and LouShrey got in
 his right twice. with but little damage Chambers came back strong and pressed the fighting, again ruShine
 Loushrey to the ropes. The round
 ended in a clinch and McDonald raised Chambers glove.
