nado methods, and he carried Cross
off his feet in the first round
Shortly before the bell ended the
round Bogash scored g. clean knock
and although Cross scorned the
count, he was considerably shaken
up by the punch. Bogash followed
the same tactics in the second round,
landing effectively with right and
left. Cross sent over an occasional
right to the head which failed to in
flict any damage.
Cross was the receiver in the third
round, Bogash hitting him at Swill
serious injury in return. Bogash
brought the blood to Cross's face with
strong left handlers to the mouth. In
a. mixup in Cross's corner just be-
fore the gong ended the round Cross
used his elbows on Bogash's face and
made no impression.
The fifth round was a very lively
one, Bogash infIicting nearly all the
damage. Just before the bell they
stood toe to toe and exchanged
thumps for ten seconds. The Nut
meg Slater had the best of it.
The sixth was a repetition of the
other rounds, Bogash doing all the
execution and Cross swinging a wild
right. The seventh round went about
without any special incident, but 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 the better of the last
round and received the decision.
The World.
The best man of the night proved
to be Louis Bogash of Way Down
East He punched Marty Cross
stupid in ten rounds, using a left jab
that beat a tattoo on Cross body and
person with all the thud-thud of a
riveting machine.
Louis Bogash and. Marty Cross
wound up the nights sport. It was
the first New York appearance of Bo-
gash-B Gosh-and he got off to a
busy start. He dropped Master Marty
in the first round with a brace of
rights and 1efts. leaving the younger
brother of Leachs very much ruffled.
Marty didn't take a count, but he
took a good think to himself when he
got up. Bogash is a chunky fellow,
with speed and a swaying style. He
iabbed Marty until that worthy young
man was wall-eyed. The sad part
about it all was that Marty could do
little in the way of jabbng back his
compliments. Bogash is long on
agility and perhaps shy on punching
power. He lands often to the dot, but
there doesn't seem to be a kill in his
kick. He is ever so mussy though in
all his ring doings.
Tireless worker, he had Cross tied
up like a bag of Chinese rice. By
the fourth round Cross nose was a
smear, and nothing like the natty
proboscis that led Mart into the hit
Bogash worked like a lather on his
victim, up and down the fairway,
from head to belt and back again
| one rattle of fists after another. Cross
was depending a line haymaker
several of which he tried from his
cuccOOn.

Lou Bogash of Bridgeport, New
England welterweight champion. ad-
ninistered a severe drubbing to Mar
ty Cross of the eastside, only active
member of the fighting Cross family,
in their ten round bout last night at
Madison Square Garden. The contest
matches, which attracted crowd of
5000 to the old arena Bogash gain
ed the unanimous decision of the
judges.
The Bridgeport welterweight, a
squat, sturdy Italian, carried off the
f1onors in every round He flashed a
brand of boxing for which Cross had
no solution. The east slider fought a
strictly defensive battle from start
to finish and was on the receiving
end of jabs, hooks and swings, which
Bogash rained on him from every an
gle. Cross at time was blinded by
the rain of blows and could not sue
cessfully defend himself.
Cross had advantage in height
and reach, but the physical differ
ence was more of a disadvantage
than an asset to the east slider. Bo-
cash, crouched low, proved an elusive
target for the few jabs which Cross
aimed at him during the ten rounds
and more of the blows found it's
mark On the other hand, Bogash.
with his peculiar crouching style
and his speed. was enabled to get
past tho defending arms of his rival
repeatedly with left jabs which both-
cred Cross in no small degree. AT
long range work Bogash was at
something of a disa dvantage-
Boga sh's work found favor with
tho crowd and they yelled wildly for
him to land a decisive blow. Cross s
defensive work, however, frustrated
any Knockout chance for the Bridge
port boxer. Every round went to Bo-
cash however, without question. He
forced the fighting at a steady pace,
bored in consistently and landed eff
fectively with both hands to stom-
ach and face.

HARVARD IN REAL TEST
. AGAINST CENTRE TODAY

Boston. Oct 23.-Captain "Bo" Nc
Millin, of Danville, KY, has this staid
old city of culture all het up today.
"Bo,' in himself. is probably an at
traction big enough to create a young
tidal wave of interest in most any
mans town. but there is peculiar in
ferest in his visit to Boston because
he brought along the Centre college
football eleven and will lead it against
Harvard this afternoon in a game
that is sure to be watched by football
fans throughout the country.
This ''Bo'' McMillin, who made all
American quarterback on Walter
Camps first eleven last season, has
lost none of his brilliance as a field
general and an all-around player. If
anything he is scintillatins more

Centre Harvard contest. In sched-
uling the sensational Centre eleven
Harvard arranged a game that Will
probably fill the big stadium at Cam
bridge with a record 1OOIDdl crown
for this early in the season, and be-
cause IL is an intersectional contest it
takes rank as the biggest single at

day.
The fact that Harvard travels in

that Centre College is "A small Ken

time to handle it with care.
Williams is probably the best rush
in the game today. He was largely
responsible for the winning of last
years pennant by the Providence
club. When he joined that outfit it
was holding down last place by COM
Portable margin. It wasn't many days
before the team was in the thick of
the pennant fight and eventually it
went out in front, where it finished
the season
All the breaks of the game have
been against the locals since the first
two weeks of the season and when
the breaks have been about even the
team has played poorly. The result
is a berth far below the leaders. Nam
ager Neville is confident, however,
that with Williams in the game a
transformation will occur that will
send the locals to the top in a steady
march.
Tonight's game with the Salem
Witches will start at $50 clock.

on full steam and during the course
of his exhibition match with Charley
Peterson he made the longest run he
has compiled this season The cham
pion ran 2s1 points before he missed
on a, simple draw shot off the cushion.
Care1essness alone interrupted the
run. for he had the balls in perfect

Indefinitely. Hoppe won the match
by a score of $50 to 8. He made an
average of 621A. completing the
game in four innings.

Bogash ana MS manager, Joe
Smith, returned to Bridgeport this
morning in glowing spirits over last
nights bout and they have just cause
to feel proud because they satisfied
New York fans and gave complete
satisfaction to Tex Richard, one of
the biggest fight promoters in the
world. This means that Richard will
have occasion to use Bogash again
and in so doing the local weller can
draw down a big financial reward.
Louie is a boy who never stalls
when in the ring and although he
may not have a punch which puts
them away, he gives the fans all the
action they require and this makes
him one of the best boys in his class.
He is scarcely out of his teens and
has brilliant career ahead of him.
Bogash is quiet unassuming fellow
who carries his honors like a man
much older in years
1t is interesting to read what the
New York sporting writers said of
his bout and clippings are given be-
