fought a draw
Ledoux endured terrific beating
about the body in each one of the ff-
teen rounds, but he was on his feet
when the final bell rang. He proved
himself among the gamest of the ring.
Sharkey opened the first round with
rush, shooting terrific rights and
lefts to the body. Ledoux was almost
carried off his feet by the New York
hoy, and he did not fare any better in
the next few rounds. Jack was hit
ting like trip hammer, centering his
attack on the body. In the second
round he sent Ledoux down from a
terrible left swing to the stomach.
Ledoux went into a clinch and the> bell
sounded soon after
Ledoux took hard beating about
the body all through the fight, and it
was wonder his ribs didn't buckle un-
der the strain. In the first ten rounds
Ledoux earned shade in only ,ne, the
fifth, when he sent Sharkey back on his
heels with a series of blows to the
head
The weights were announced as 11s
for Sharkey and 1171a for the French
man. Georges Carpenter was in Le-
douX's corner, but that didn't sem to
help him any.
Two Are Disqualified
Dlsqualifications marked the first two
bouts of the evening, in both cases
Jack Donnolly, the referee, sending the
offenders out OF the ring.
Joe Colletti, after taking a hard
pounding from frankie Genara in the
frst slx-round bout, struck his oppon-
ent low in the middle of the second
round. 1t was his second offense and
Donnelly promptly disqualified him
Johnny Reisler's foul consisted in
throwing Freddy Reese to the floor as
they came out of clinch toward the
end Of the second round.
kelsier was having the better of the
milling at the time, although he was
only l24M pounds to Reese's 1873, but
there was no doubt of the foul. Reese
being thrown sprawlng on the floor.
When DonneIly sent Rejsler TO his
corner the crowd turned loose tor
rent OF boots, howls and misses Of as
sorted sizes. For five minutes the up-
roar was so great that a deaf man
would nave caught headache. But the
disqualification stood and Donaellv's
action was we'll taken, except by the
crowd.
White Slightly Outweighed
When Lynch and White entered the
ring there were about 1000 persons in
the Garden. Joe weighed in at l181A
and Jabez at 117la. Joe had height
and reach in his favor, and these as
sets counted heavily for him Lynch
worked IN flashes in the first half of
the bout, opening up at times with
1iufrles OF fast, snappy punching that
nad little White wondering where all
the gloves came from
Joe carried the heavier punch. and
his left jab soon had the Jabez face
sporting a ruddy glow. In the second
round W hltc went to the floor from 6
left to the stomach, but he bounced
right up again and sailed back fol
more.
Lynch went to the mat in the sixth
round, partly from slip and partly
from light left to the face. Joe
was plling up neat lead on points
but White fought back grimly, doing
his best work at close quarters His
best blows were delivered as he coun-
tered, and there was never a time when
Jabez was unwilling 30 trade blows
Neither boy was ever in danger of a
knockout during the fifteen rounds.
Billy Muldoon and Charles Thorley
the judges, rendered their decision as
draw which seemed favoring White
