head while Brltton's arm had begun
to bleed. Britton resorted to rushing
tactics throughout the fight Potty
would on many instances let Britton
hit him at random, the blows seeming
TO worry the local boy but little. Pot
ty however was wild and missed q
great many blows behind which he
put everything he possessed In an eff
fort to put away the brunswick lad.
Both Potty and Britton fought fast
and mar throughout the eight rounds.
AT the end of the scrap Potty could
claim five Of the eight rounds by slight
margins. The other three were Brit
toms by a shade.
The second star bout OF the night
proved to be somewhat of a iivver as
one Round Hogan, the New Orleans
Scrapper who was said TO have been
knocking out everything that came
before him, went down to defeat be-
fore the lightning like work of Young
Zoe Cans, the colored Newark fighter.
After about thirty seconds of fighting
Hogan went down for the count of
nine. And after that Cans hit him
with everything he possessed and fl
nally Hogan slid into a corner and
sank down, willing to quit.
Although 1t vas expected that the
heavy weight bout would be the best
OF the night, the inequality between
the two men detracted from the in
~terest. Leyinsky weighed 178 and
Howard but 1853. Although the Bay
onne cop showed that he was willing
to mix and time after time waded into
the bigger man his punches seemed
to have little effect although towards
the end OF the scrap he managed to
draw blood from L~evinsky's face.
Howard was the favorite throughout
and was given Il big hand for the
game fight he put against heavy odds.
