Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-12-05

The program of the Amboy sport
ing Club last night vas well received
by the fight fans even though a SUP
stitute was necessary in each of the
~eight-round bouts. The substitutes
proved that they could do as good or
possibly better than the original
fighters. Eddie Josephs and Joe
Honan won the eight round bouts,
which were fast and hard fought
throughout. The prelims also were
hard fought matches. -
Saxon Subs for Adab
Sira Adab, the fighting Greek from
Brooklyn, put in an appearance at
the Auditorium but after an exami-
nation by the local physician 1t was
found hat he was strained and could
not box. An operation Is necessary,
it is said. Johnny Saxon, the tough
scrapper from Newark, was substi-
tuted and the fans received their full
of boxing, and say that Eddie JOS
ephs, the light-heavy from Staten
Island, who started in this city by
receiving the sleep punch from AL
Roberts, is improving steadily and
nearly gave Saxon the floor punch in
the eighth.
Josephs Expected to go Fast
When Eddie Josephs entered the
ring with Johnny Saxon as his oppo-
nent the fight fans believed that
Josephs' finish would come early in
the bout, for they believed that If
Saxon cosld stay eight rounds with
Roberts, he surely would stay with
Josephs, and then they knew Saxon
had quite a kick and would put the
Staten Islander away in quick time.
Both Fighters Work Hard
The main event started with
Josephs assuming the lead as usual.
and he landed often on the Newark
lad with little result. Saxon had the
better of the infighting and whenever
Josephs would rush, Saxon would
meet him with a number of body
blows. With both fighters apparently
hoping for one punch, and both men
having the advantage at intervals,
this round WAS even.
Josephs again assumed the lead In
the second round, and his reach
helped him a great deal against the
husky Newarker. Saxon had plenty
of respect for JoSephs' punches and
clinched often, with the result that
he gained when he had Josephs close
to him. This round like the first was
even.
Josephs Showing Strong.
h Staten Islander was still on the
offensive to start the third, and his
puIlcleS we're 10 worry sax
on. He landed often on the Newark
er's face and body, and his speed did
not allow Saxon TO make much of a
comeback. Now and then throughout
the round Saxon would land solid
blows. but his COMEBACK was not sur
ficient to overcome the islanders
early advantage. Josephs' by a shade.
Josephs started the fourth round
with plenty of speed m his fighting
certainly surprised the fans, who have
seen him perform here on several oc-
c~asions. He landed blow after blow
on Saxon's face and body, and the
punishment was beginning to tell on
the usual punch-eater. Saxon came
back now and then, but Josephs was
beginning to show the upper hand.

are preparing for greatly increased

Strike leaders are loathe to discuss
the situation which is taken to lndi-
cate that they are satisfied with the

the miners would straggle back to
the mines in increa ng numbers
The operators claim that the ranks
Of 10000 non-union miners reported
TO be working are holding firm. They
also state that many miners from the
sections where the mines are closed

work at the mines that are being op-
Grated by nonunion men.
