 Brady's abinty to get in at
 Boorde and then away before

 played m important part' in his victory. Time and time again Jack

 Brady missed almost as many punches as he landed. Boorde also was inaccurate in landing his blows.
 There were no real hard blows land ct. although Boorde did knock Brady of his feet once, but with apparently no effect on the condition of his ops ponent
 BOORDE'S GREAT RALLY Had Boorde fought in five of the ten rounds as he did in the ninth there would have been no question about the decision. The fight probably would not have gone ten rounds. In this session, the ninth, Boorde had Brady groggy, and it was beginning to look like a knock out when the gong sounded, probably saving the popular Bessemer hoy from defeat via the sleep route. The two boys seem very evenly matched. That a keen rivalry exists between the two was evident from the first through the last round. Each seemed eager for knockout, but neither .~s-s willing to take a chance and try for sleep producing punch. Although a majority of the fans seemed to think the decision right, there was, of course, a certain portion O; them who thought Boorde should khave had the victory, while many thought it was a draw. The jude es wouldn't have been stretching things to have given Boorde an even break. Undoubtedly the two boys will be matched for another fight. The result of last nights affair wns
 anything but satisfying, from the stnndpOint of both the fighters and the fans.
 The feature of the preliminary was the new -fangled" battle royal staged by four husky coons. Blindfolded and urged along by prods from a stick with a glove fastened to the end of it. these ambitious pugilists eliminated among themselves until there were only two left. A hefty puch to the jaw by the smallest of the two, who, tv the way, won the last battle royal at the club, ended the bout and earned first right to the stream of coin turned into the ring,
 Young Russo of New Orleans won the decision over Shorty" Rives of the B. A. C.
 John McGinny was given the decision over Joe Dickey at the end of six rounds of fast milling.
 Joe Denberg and "Blondy" White fought four rounds to a draw. The lads were in the S0-pound class. Taken all in all. 1t was good show, well worth seeing
