Midget Smith
Defeats Hill
In Ten Rounds
Mauling Marine Gets De-
cision Over Veteran; Sub
stitute Whips Chinaman
By Fred Hawthorne

Midget Smith, the "Mauling Marine"
outpointed ancient Barry Hill in the
main ten-round bout at Madison Square
Garden last night Barry is not as
ancient as Bunker Hill, but there can
not be much difference in their ages.
In spite of his antiquity, Hill stuck
through the ten rounds with the sturdy
midget. Weak, bruised and weary.
Barry was when the final bell changed.
but he wore twisted smile, as though
appreciatlng the fact that he was still
able. to bring him down.
The midget used every variety Of
punch he could think of to knock Hill
out driving many a wicked right to
the RIBS and jolting rights and lefts to
the head and jaw There were two or
three occasions when it looked az
though Barry could not survive the
shock, bat he fought back as best he
could, getting home at times with
snappy rights and lefts to face and
body.
The weights were announced as 12oa
lor smith and l19a4 for Hill.
Little Veteran Starts Well
At the sound of the rst bell the bows
bounded from their corners and went
into regular Kilkenny backfence ses-
sion of milling in the center Of the
ring. Barry was giving as good as he
was taking at this stage, and after they
broke out of a clinch Hill shot right
to the jaw that sent the Midget back
on his heels.
Hill hadv shade in this round, but
it was the only time in the fight that
he ran better than second. Smith then
started to chase his man around the
ring, waiting for a chance to put over
finishing right hand wallop to the
jaw.
Hill is o willy veteran, however, and
managed to keep out of the way Of
anything that carried the T. D. label.
In the seventh round Barry cut a cash
IN Smiths right cheek, just below the
eye, and this only served to peeve the
Midget and make him battle the harder.
The first bout of the evening was
an eight-round affair de glove between
Joe Leopold, from "out Of town." and
Mickey Brown, two featherweigh ghts.
Leopold was given the decision. Nobody
expired from an excess of excitement
during this set-to.
Substitute Springs Surprise
all over the house used the muffler
cut-outs on the yells during the entire
eight rounds. George Lee, the San
Francisco Chinaman, was to have boxed
Eddie Anderson, the Wyoming bantam,
but Eddie didn't show up and so
George Daley new protege of Willie
Lewis, volunteered to mix things up
with the king Of the laundry. The
substitute made good by getting the
decision.
Every one of those eight rounds was
battle in itself. 1t was Daley's first
professional bout, but to see the way
he sailed into Mister Lee one would
think Daley had been brought up on
a boxing glove instead OF a bottle.
Lee met Daley half way and they
fought toe to toe, and nose to nose,
from bell to bell.
The first four rounds were slightly
in favor of the mo tickee no washee"
guy, but in the last four sessions little
Daley swarmed all over his man, using
zippy left to the face, wicked right
drives to the ribs and jolting upper
cuts to the jaw. Both boys were
bleeding but unbowed at the end.
Marty Summers, of the East Side,
and Morris Lux, of Kansas City, pair
of welters, were the next entertainers
in a ten-rounder. Summers won all
the way in tedious ''tea party" affair.
