SECOND ROUND A HUMMER
By LOUIS III, JAFTT

TX. .. in four rounds" was scrawled
down in fstic history against Billy
Angelo and to the credit Of George
CLANCY at the Olympia last night. After
Angelo was knocked down and virtually
out In the first round he came back in
the second, administered terrific
trouncing to CLANCY, but was unable 70
keep up the pace in the third and fourth,
then failed to come up for the NTH
frame.
Just when IL looked as II Clancy was
all punched out something went wrong
with Angelo, and Referee Joe Critic
permitted the York gloveman to decide
for himself whether he wanted to con :.
tinue. Angelo claimed that he had
hurt his right wrist. CLANCY got
credit for n technical Knockout In the
fourth round the contest being decided
In the same way as the memorable July
4, 1910, bout which made Jack Dempsey
champion when Jess Willard refused TO
continue.
Angelo was a pretty tired young man.
For four rounds his exhibition was a
revelation against the vicious- punching
Baltimorean and he deserved lots OF
credit for going as far as he did: "ld
like to meet him again. vas all that
Angelo, still greatly fatigued. would
say in his dressing room after the con-
test.
A Revelation
That second round will remain remi-
niscent with those who were there. An.
gelo landed four punches to one, had
George missing like an ordinary pre-
liminary boxer and. when the three min =
utes were over, Billy sent his Baltimore
opponent back to his corner with his
face swollen. battered and cnmsoned,
Angeles execution in the second ses
sion had the big crowd up in a frenzy
| roofing for him like so many wild men
| CLANCY was up, too-but he was up ir
the air, as they say, trying his utmost
to connect with a crusher. However
Billy was stepping too fast for George
who missed with sufficient punches e
knock out a regiment OF boxers. But
Billy's great work in that period ap'
parently was his undoing. 1t appearcc
as IL Angelo had spent his stamina; HI
was unable TO punch go often nor put
any steam behind his punches. and be
came an easier target for Chaney's hare
rights and lefts.
CLANCY Tired
Chaney also seemed as II he was be
| coming tired. for his blows also Lacked
full strength. Still the Baltimore bat
tier, despite his swollen face, spit lip,
| and battered nose, was. In better condi.
tion, physically. He really wore dowr
Angelo with his aggressiveness and fas
pace.
The knockdown scored by Chaney
came after two minutes and twelve sec
onds Of the first round. 1t was the frs
left handed blow directed at Angelo,
jaw, which was grazed, and the Yorl
man went down for the count Of nine
Until then CLANCY had been using on'y
a left hook, getting Angelo set for q
southpaw slam; but when he did un'
cork his best blow George failed 4
land flush.
Angelo came in at 1872, and Chane.
was two pounds heavier.
Frush Scores X. 0.
Danny Frush knocked down Eddi
James, Of Frisco, four times in fifty
eight seconds of the second round, an.
then Referee Critic used perfectly goo,
judgment in stopping the contest. james
made the mistake OF not taking &
count. He kept bobbing up as sooI
as he could every time Frush droppe,
him with q we'll directed right -hande

hand in the first round OF his bout witt
Sam Mosberg. The latter was win
