Four OF the best bouts ever staged

the night Joe Forgione. of Newark,

IN as pretty an exhibition of speed
work as one would wish to see. In
the six-round semt-final Tommy War
rem, of Atlantic City, made UP for
the defeat handed him by Georgia
Ward, of Elizabeth, when he gave
Frank soup, McCauley an awful
beating. Soup" was game as usual,
sticking the full time and showing
that he was able to come back with
some punches in the last round which
made Warren aware Of his presence.
In the first four-round go Mike
Cotter, of C~arteret, defeated Young
Corona, of Staten Island, having all
four rounds. Corona and Cotter start
ed off like wildcats In the first round,
landing punch upon punch on each
other. Corona played himself out
with his speed, however, n o he
was doing all the receiving and hang
ing on Cotter most of the time for
support.
In the other four round prelimi-
nary Bobby Walters, of Plainfield,
outfought Young McGuggan, of Stat
en- Island, this bout showing science
whereas its predecessor was OF the
hit or miss catch-as-catch-can varie-
ty. Walters proved himself to be the
master of the boy from the island al

matched.
In the four bouts last night there
were four Staten Island lighters In
each one the island scrapper lost put
and, oddly enough. all of the island
fighters used the same corner.
Soup McCauley's ability to take
punishment came in mighty handy
last night when Tommy Warren
started to drive home left jabs and
right swings in the first round. "Soup"
had his left ear cut and mouth badly
banged up but he continued to take
everything Warren gave him and then
came back with a few deliveries of
his own He was unable to Use much
of his usual body punching. Warren
looked much better than when he
fought Ward and took things calmly.
The -Curry-Forgione bout showed
the Newark boy to have the better of
the argument, Curry's opponent taxi
ings things easy for the first three
rounds in order to feel Curry out, af-
ter which he began to connect with
the ISLANDERS head and body. For

first three rounds. Curry being on the

in W1llie's defense. The fourth round
resulted in Forgione starting things

the good lady whose home had been
turned into a hospital:
II say. is there any reason why I
can't see your King? 1t seems to me
everything else has been brought
here"
The reply was. "oh, fancy it
could be arranged"
Captain LANCER forgot all about
the incident. There were so MANY
other things to take up his mind. A
few days later he noticed that the
nurses and orderlies were very busy
in the ward cleaning up things. That
didn't bother him very much, either
