ELLIOTT AGAIN
 TAKES DECISION
 OVER LEO KICLEy
Sailor Scrappers Cleanup At American Legion
 Labor Day Show.

When Referee Jack Wilson hoisted Elliotts hand as winner over Hig- ley in the heavyweight bout at the American Legion's Labor Day Smok- CT bill in the A. B. Hall last night it marked an end to perfect day for the gobs Lieut. Morse's babies were entered in three scraps, and in each they brought home the bacon
 The two main events both went to the gobs. Elliott proved that his Fourth of July Kayo of Higley was no fluke, and while he failed to repeat last night, he was good enough to win a decision which was apparently popular although a few thought that Higley was at least entitled to a draw. In the main thing, off the Sub Chaser BIO, with a willing heart, two clever dukes and a good head, ended a perfectly good bout in the fourth round by slipping sleep producer to Morris.
 Proves a Surprise
 ub hOIIlS-l HDlupSOH llSHl WdS real surprise party. Thompson, substituting for DeArmond. entered the ring ten pounds lighter than Morris. the men tipping the scales at 135 and 145. Morris started the battle in his familiar style by cover ing up and Thompson carried the fight to him from the tap of the bell. The defense system only wor- ried Thompson for a few seconds and he solved it by straight jabs to the face between the gloves and short vicious chops to the body.
 The first three rounds were clearly Thompson's. Morris opened up sev- eral times in an endeavor to put the old haymaker across but was clearly outboxed and could not land on the target. In the third it was ap- parent that the fight was Thompson's but Morris by gameness managed to come up for the fourth and made one more hard try. The finish came early in the round when under a series of short vicious jabs to the head and body, Morris went down and out.

 Fourth EIIiott's Best The third round was a repetition of the second and the fourth was Elliott's best He won. that round clearly.
