Eddie O'Hara, the fighting Irish
 man from Leo F. F9ynn,Ssstab2e, gave Benny Weafer of South NorwaIk lesson in the art of fstcuffS last night in the star bout at Billy Hogan'sShow. Weafer was completely baffed by the New Workers cieverness, landing only
 one blow with his famous right and that was too light to do any damage
 to the former O'Hara used a left
 jab that had the NorwaIker's head
 bounding back throughout the four
 rounds, making the latter look foolish
 trying to land.
 It was simply that Weafer had met
 a man of his ca4Ibre and fell down Tniseralbly, showing a lack of ring
 gereraship and boxing ability.
 O'Hara had a few inches in height
 and reach that troubled Weafer who
 has been used to knocking shorter
 ones into dreamland- In The last
 round O'Hara had Weafer groggy by
 his constant jabbing and the latter
 finished out the round by holding and trying to dodge the stiff left jab that
 threatened to make a bad spot on the
 Kayo Kings record Weafer weighed
 149, and O'Hara 153 a, thereby mak-
 ing the Norwa1ker a present of $50 forfeit money, having failed to make
 the required weight
 The best bout of the evening was the opening affair between Billy Prince and Joe Hall, Prince taking the decision after four of the fastest and hardest fought rounds ever seen 1 between two local boys. This bout may also impede if not put an end to the career of Pr1nces who has showed such Improvement in his first four | bouts as a professional as to be her aided one of the best little scrappeTs ever developed in the Park City Prince has been suffering from what is known as a caulihoWer ear,> having an operation performed on that mem ter two weeks ago, Hall being advised to land on the formers ear as much as possible and he did to such an ex- tent that the blood gushed out of Princes ear for three rounds, makin g it painful to proceed and slowing him LID considerably But the game little { feather took what would have caused a number of other boxers to give up i and fought his way to a win over the l tough Crsasao A C. srrapper- Prince ha9 a bout scheduled for 1 Thursday night but it will show poor | management if he is allowed to go through with if, and a91ong 1ayof from ring work will be to his ad-
