TEDDY LEONARD DEFEATS
BOWLEN IN FAST BOUT.

The Commonwealth Sporting Club
of New York's patrons were treated to
some clever boxing last Saturday
night. While the main go was a
dreary sort of affair and brought to-
gether George Chip and Jack Duffy,
Chip made amends for the apparent
slowness of the proceedings in the
early part Of the go by knocking out
his man in the tenth round with a
strongly delivered hook.
Bobby Bowler and Teddy Leonard,
two midgets, served to enliven mat
tiers with an interesting surrounds
prior to the main attraction, and after
a succession of give and take rounds
Leonard managed to pull the verdict
out of the fire when he was all over
Bowler in the closing round. This
was admittedly the best battle of the
night, with the tidbits showing more
than ordinary c~leverness.
Leading up to that go Jack Smith
and Sailor Jones, two middleweights,
fought each other to a standstill in six
hard-fought rounds. A big crowd wit
messed the bouts.

this session. The fifth and sixth also
went to Tommy, but Robinson came
back strong in the seventh and his
finish in the eighth round was enough
to secure for him a shade. Local fans
declare that a draw would have been
better.

City Police Department, and Eddie
Slattery, a Philadelphia cop, fought a
fast four-round draw. Slattery had
the edge in the first two sessions, but
Hutchinson came back in the next two
rounds and evened matters. The scrap
