Billy DeFoe Hits Belmont At Will
M e emphis Featherweight Fails to Miss One
 Handed Him

Billy De Foe of St. Paul and this city, who is declared to be so clever that he is avoided by Kilbane and other leading featherweights, hit Gene Delmont of Memphis SIS times by unofficial count in 15 rounds at the opening entertainment of the Pioneer Sporting club in New York last night. Belmont, who is guiltless of defensive skill, was on his feet at thee lose. though in disordered con- dition. De Foe is a clever boxer, and if there was any force to his blows he should have stopped the Memph- ian in five rounds But De Foes punches are of the cream puff va riety, and while annoying are not ef- fective.
 At times Belmont shot out vicious swings that jared the St. Paul boy. but these thrusts were so infrequent they failed to do any special damage. The bout was uninteresting for the reason that Delmont had little or no chance, and served merely as a punching bag for a clever boxer, but ineffective hitter. De Foe will have to show his wares against an abler opponent before he will be accepted as the king of the featherweightS.
