WALLACE EARNS DECISION OvER ERODE IN TEN ROUNDS IF FAST
 WORK; DOUGLAS BEATS LAYMAN

Herb Brodie, who claims some kind I of championship, hugged, clinched | and danced his way through ten rounds 1 and by that procedure managed to last out the full period of his bout with Otto Wallace, Milwaukee bearcat, at the Alhambra arena last night. Wal lace got the decision rendered by Re- fierce Billy Corpstein, the same meet ing with the general approval of the audience.
 Brodie early showed his aptness for doing almost everything except fight ing. When he wasn't dancing away from the ever coming Wallace, he was running into a clinch and huggfng the Milwaukee lads arms between his own.
 This method not only turned what few followers he had against him, but afforded Wallace an opening to fin ally batter him around the ring.
 Brodie is a boxer pure and simple. He doesn't like to mix it and when the going gets rough he is altogether too anxious to stop the rain of blows upon his body. But he's mighty clean hit ter, much cleaner than Wallace and his blows carry more sting than did those of his opponent.
 Wallace is a mighty aggressive boy, willing to mix it at all times and, at times overly anxious to exchange blows with his opponent. He landed almost at will in the infighting, at least, when Brodie wasn't holding his hands. But in the open, Brodie had all the better of the going. Of course his footwork stood him in good stead, but Phoenix fans, in fact, no boxing fans like to see one man do all the aggressive work.
 At long range however, Brodie made his opponent miss lead after lead He kept jabbing Wallace with his long left and at times followed with a stinging right, but he seldom eX- | posed himself to a counter. Rather, he merely kept jabbing with his long | left
 | The bout. until the tenth. was fairly | even on points. A clean blow is a point, and in this. the two men were about equal, although Wallace carried the milling to his opponent throughout and had the entire crowd on his side
 In the tenth the Milwaukee lad came from his corner with rush and after the customary hand-shake, started dIleT the LOS AnSeleS eApOHenl Ol lue light fantastic. And he didn't let uI
 until the gong had sounded either
 He jabbed, swung and hooked rights and lefts to the head and body during the full three minutes and had his opponent hanging on, in fact, in bad shape when the gong sounded.
 Douglas Shades Layman. Jack Douglas, San Francisco, out pointed Young Layman, local Mexican
 in a fast round semi-final event that had the spectators on their toes from start to finish. This was by far
 better exhibition of the fistic game
 than was the main event.
 Layman started with a rush at the
 sound of the gong and although the
 two boys exchanged almost evenly al
 long range, the local youth excelled al
 infighting, his great speed materially
 aiding him in landing two and some
 times three for one at close range. Douglas had shade in the second
 cracking Layman repeatedly with right cross as the latter was coming in
 He also improved his infighting in thi!
 round and fought the Mexican to { standstill when in close.
 The third was even, both men goini at top speed. Layman connected witt several good jolts, but Douglas agail
 brought his right cross into play ant , sent some good stiff jolts against Lay mans jaw.
 Layman had a slight margin in tn [ fourth, but Douglas rallied in the fiftl and had all the better of the going. H E repeatedly rushed the local boy to tn
