Antwerp, Aug. 25.-Tw0 decisions in
the Olympic boxing preliminsries,
which ended after midnight, evoked
loud jeers and dissenting cries from
the Americans present, which others
among the spectators sought to drown
with hieses and booing.
The uproar continued for several
minutes and eliminated In virtually all
the Americans present walking out.
Most of the american spectators were
army and navy officers.
The objections Of the Americans
were FIRST voiced over the decision In
the bout between f. Hartman, Ameri-
can, and Walker, South African. Dur
ing the first three rounds Walker was
floored twice, and the Americans
evinced surprise when the bout was de-
clared a draw and an extra round was
ordered, at the close Of which Walker
was declared the winner.
This decision drew from the Ameri-
cans shouts of dissatisfaction, but the
walkout occurred when Hebrants, II
Belgian, was awarded the decision
over S. Yogel, Pastime A. 9.
The scene, which for a time was
threatening, was Gained, and the pro-
gram was concluded with r. de Cen
cor, Paulist A. c., American, out
pointing a Frenchman in a neat and
speedy bout, which made the thirteenth
American victory out Of seventeen
bouts in the prellminaries
