Arizona republican., 1921-01-02

a low one to Bills body. The decision was not necessary, however. as Reed had the fight all the way. Every round favored the Arizona heavy and every round saw Reed play a tatto on Mee- hans face with myriads of left jabs. Bill just shot a left and Meehan's head flopped back. Occasionally Reed used a right, but he seemed to place great faith in the left and Meeban was un- able to get out of the way.
 Referee Bill Corpstein warned Nee han repeatedly against his rough tac- tics and when Willie dropped a low one to Reeds body in the tenth, Corp stein became disgustcd and stopped the bout. Tn tho second round Meehan hit Reed low and the referee warned him; in the seventh Reed protested that Meehan was putting and to even his side deliberately butted Meehan much to the delight of the crowd. Here tho fireworks started. both men going in with revenge spelled on their faces. Reed walked out and shot his left into Meehan's face so fast the phat boy couldn't catch his breath. Willie made several wild lunges, but Reed met him with the same old left. How a fighter or Meehan'S reputation and experience can fall for left jabs as Willie did yes- terday is one of the unexplafna hle things in boxing. Several times Reed had Meehan in a bad way. but failed 10 follow up and Meehan recovered be- fore he went under. Meehan's chief asset IS an ability to absorb punish nont-that lets him out.
 Reed showed big improvement over his last fight in this city and with little coaching should develop into big box office attraction. He Hgq n Ntrarfflf.rf44T Trff tF,f .fi fighters crave and few possess. II Wild Bill was less wild and used his right as chaser for his left jab Inc would make the majority of the pres. cnt crop of heavies look like selling plattcrs. Bill took everything Meehal had to offer, which was nothing dan gerouS, and. smiled a smile of conf dence after each round.
 Took a Chance in Eighth
 In the eighth round Meehan hit Rec low, and Bin protested: Referee Corp stein had warned Meehan against hit ting low, but hesitated at stopping tn fight. At this point Reed almost lost well-earned fight when his chief sec ond jumped into the ring. pulling Rec to his corner. Corpstein overiooke the breach of ring etiquette on bot sides and the fight proceeded, orly | be stopped in tho tenth. when Meeha gain hit low.
 It was one of tho hardest fights ev, staged in this city Meehau took world of punishment and hammered ( Reeds body at every opportunity. Me han was willing but he couldn't get | that left jab.
 Yesterdays win advances Reed al other step in the heavyweight class al places him in position to land sever eastern bouts promised if he beat Me han. That Willie has about reach tho end of long and useful career. can now retire Co his California hor and tell tho younger generation abo Inc days that were. He is a ron fighter and a game one but he fail to step fast enough to keep on ev ,crms with Wild Bill Reed.
