Hazelton Pa.
The bouts were all we'll contested and
gave great satisfaction. There was
considerable interest in the appearance
OF Perry, recently credited with an I'M
official decision over Jack Britton. Perry
failed to do much damage to Doyle. and
the officials declared the contest draw
George Ward of Elizabeth proved TO
be clever boxer with good left that
he kept constantly in the face OF Lough-
lin, rough, rugged performer.
A notable feature was the large at
tendance of women, due to the orderly
manner In which bouts at the Garden
are conducted.
Bogash. who also claims a decision
over Britton, proved to be one OF the
best looking welterweights ever seen In
the vicinity. He gave Cross a terrific
beating, pummeiling the New Yorker
from start to finish and easily avoiding
Cross's vicious swings. Bogash showed
heavy left, bpt his right was net SO
useful.
Bogash Floors Cross EARLY.
The final bout of the night between
Louie Bogash OF Bridgeport, Conn.,, and
Marty Cross of New York, started out
in whirIwind fashion. Bogash proved
himself to be a fighter Of tornado

feet in the first round. Shortly before
the bell ended the round Bogash scored
a clean knockdown with q right handler
to the face, and although Cross scorned
the count. he was considerably shaken
up by the punch. Bogash followed the
same tactics in the second round, rush
ing Cross all about the ring and land
ing effectively with right and left.
Cross sent over an occasional right to
the head which failed to inflict any
damage.
Cross was the receiver In the third
round. Bogash hitting him at will with
right and left. escaping any serious in
jury In return. Bogash brought the
blood to Crosss face with strong left
handlers to the mouth. In q mixup in
Cross's corner just before the gong
ended the round Cross used his elbows
on Bogashs face and made no impress
sion.
The fifth round was a very lively
one. Bogash inflicting nearly all the
damage. Just before tho bell they
stood toe to toe and exchanged thumps
for ten seconds. The Nutmeg Stater
had the best of 1t.
The sixth was a repetition of the
other rounds. Bogash doing all the
execution and Cross swinging a wild
right. Tho seventh round went along
without any special incident, and in the
eighth Bogash had Cross in a very
shaky condition, but failed to finish
him owing to his ineffective right hand.
Cross managed to weather the ninth
and was weak at the close.
Bogash had tia better OF the last
round and received the decision.
Summers Defeats Latxo.
Johnny Summers of this city defeated
Steve Latzo OF Hazleton, Pa, in the
opening ten round bout. Latzo Is a
rugged chap with heavy punch. but
little boxing skill. Summers won be-
cause OF his superior science. coupled
with good right hand punch to the
jaw. He cut Latzo over the left eye
early In the contest and the Pennsyl-
vanian bled profusely to the end of the
bout. Summers landed a heavy right
handler ON Latzo's mouth in the eighth
round which sent him wobbly to his
cornes at the bell Latzo caused a sem
sation In the tenth round by hitting
Summers on the breast with very
heavy right. knocking him through the
ropes. Summers sprang up. came to the
centre of the ring at once and fought
with the accustomed spirit at the close.

Jack Perry OF Pittsburg. who came
here with the reputation Of having
floor rod Champion Jack Britton In a
recent bout. and Paul Doyle. East Side
welterweight. put up very interesting
ten round bout, which was declared to
be a draw The Pittsburger seemed to
have a shade the better of the en-
counter, as he forced the fighting from
start to finish and landed many telling
blows Doyle's best round was the
seventh, when he staggered Perry with
n hard right to the face. Perry came
back very strongly and made II spirited
battle TIL the gong ended the tenth
round.
Perry had the speed of the pair and
was especially effective at close quar-
etrs. Doyle who is a clever boxer, de-
pended on long range fighting and while
he landed very infrequently the thumps
that he registered were very effective.
Just before the first round Doyle was
the recipient OF n handsome loving cup
from his East Side friends. Perry
weighed I46H rounds and Doyle l41 u.
