BRADY SHAFTS STRONG

lack Brady started off strong in the first round landing several effective blows His left to the body was fol- lowed by, a right to the jaw, forcing Boorde to give ground. It was Brady s round.
 From then on, Boorde rallied and ouickened his pace with each round. In the sixth, he landed several appar- ently telling blows and at the open ing of the seventh Brady was appar' ently much weaker. It was then that Boorde cut aloose on Brady and finally landed the finishing blows.
 Some of the ringside spectators
 and sOma of Brady's followers
 claimed that the blow which cut
 Brady's eye and which paved the
 way to the knockout blow, was
 foul They say that Boorde butted Brady with his head, either intcn-
 ti0naIly or unintentiOnaIiy. The majority of the spectators, how ever, as well as Referee Parry, agreed that it was n clean blow,
 an uppercut, and that was the way the writer saw it.
 The preliminary bill was also very good last night. Not only were the men in each bout well matched. but the fighting was fast and spirited. Johnny Saab and Steve Sarron fought to draw in three rounds. The boys are 100-pounders.
 Hollis Arnold was given the decision
 over John Reeves Arnold was toe fast for Reeves. They are in the 115- pound class.
 Horace Hooper was given the decis- ion over E. Caruso. Hooper fought better in the clinches. The boys arc in the 115-pound class. Joe Dickey and Roy Wilkinson fought to draw. They are welter- weights.
 Sherrod and Wood fought three fast rounds, at the end of which the de- cision was given to Sherrod. It was a grudge affair. The boys weighed 140 and 145 pounds, respectively. Frank Cbestaine and Tom Newman fought three rounds to a draw. They are nghtweights.
 The semifinal bout, six round af- fair arranged only one day in advance on account of the failure of Russo to appear for his match with Alfred, was fast hard fought affair, in which Sailor Kennedy was given the decis- ion over Battling Lucas of Atlanta The two big fellows, each weighing 165 pounds, fought hard and willingly and furnished the audience soma reai entertainment Lucas got in some good comedy work at times that kept the spectators in a roar of laughter.

|Boorde X. o. s Jack Brady 4,
 Seuenth Round

A terrific right across to the jaw followed by a straight left to the stomach terminated a series of very effective blows on the person of young Jack Brady and Freddie Boorde was victorious in his battle with Brady, winning in the seventh round by clean knockout:
 The blow that finished the fight came after other punches and jabs in the earlier part of the round had re- duced Brady to a weakened condition. short upper cut in the opening sec onds of the session opened cut above the left eye and the blood that streamed down Brady's face partially blinded him Boorde then charged in and Brady fell into clinch. Break ing. the two came together again and this time Boorde landed the punch that ended the fight. Brady fell to the canvas. face downward. As Referee Parry counted over him he stirred and attempted to rise at the count of nine. He was unequal to the task however and rolling over on his back, became still. Sometime later, about three min utes. to be exact. he struggled back to consciousness and the affair was over. It was one of the tensest and most exciting fights staged at the Athletic club in mighty long time. From the first tap of the gong to the final count by Referee Parry, the going was hard for both principals and spectators. Ter rife infighting and spirited long range tapping occupied all the time Of the fighters and kept the audience on edge throughout.

BOORDE RECEIVES OFFER TO MEET PAL MOORE

According to Tommy Tompkins, boxing instructor of the Birmingham Athletic club, Pal Moore has offered Freddie Boorde a bout, the match to take place in Memphis some time in the near future, provided, of course, that Freddie accepts the offer.
 ''There is only one thing in 1he way of the match" states Tommy, "and that is the matter of weight. Moore wants Freddie to make t22 pounds for him. and I amsunwilling to weaken Boorde by reducing him that much.
 q wired Moore that Boorde will meet him at 125 pounds ringside and if he accepts I will be more than willing to match my boy with him.,
 Boorde would not be so out1lassed if he met Moore as many would thiak for he will have an advantage in weight and besides he has gained quite a bit of science and boxing ability dur ing the past year. Moore would possi- bly outpoint Boorde, but that is all.
 About year ago. Freddie re- Aceived mn offer from Moore, but turned it down. saying that he thought he needed bit more experience before tackIing any of the big fellows. "won't turn this one down. though" states Freddie. sIf Moore will raise the weight limit to 125 pounds, I'll greet the match with open arms"
