Ladies' and gentlemen. Horba has
three bad boiis under his arm and
asks for another chance"
This was the announcement OF
diamond Lew" Bailey. third man
IN the ring after Ralph Raymond
and Johnny Horba had finished tho
eight hottest frames OF boxing seen
in this section in many a moon al
smediey Field, the home Of the
Chester ball club in Chester last
night. It should have settled any
doubt in the minds Of those present
as to who won the fight
But the margin Of victory was not
so great at that. Raymond showed
himself to be the more clever boxer
and worked his jab to perfection
from the second semester, after
coming out on the short end In the
opening session. He made Horba
miss repeatedly. which all went for
him as points in piiing up a big
lead IN the second, third. fourth and
fifth sessions Raymond started the
ciaret flowing from the Hedgeville
performers nose in the second and
later opened a cut under his right
eye. The left optic also seemed to
bo slightly damaged.
Every Wilmington fight ran that

crowd being composed largely OF
those from this city. They went by
the truck load. train load, fiivver
load and carload. And they all
voted the trip worth while.

chance. Raymond came back with
the announcement that he was
ready TO meet him at any time and
at any place. Dougherty promptly

ciared that ne would make every ef-
fort to rematch the men for his next
show. which will be held at the
same place a week from next Mon
day night. September -.

Horba proceeded 10 force the
fighting at the start and drove Ray

frame. He looked as II he wanted
TO make short work OF his Ions

entry was never in danger. The DO,
from out in the Hedges was game e
the finish and later on In the rouns
