Referee Stops Tremaine
Bout in the Eighth
Round to Save Collins
BY Fred Hawthorne

Rocky Kansas, of Buffalo. who is one,
of the optimists who hopes some day
TO wear Benny Leonard's lightweight
kelly, gave Lew Tender, of Phila-
delphia. regular old-fashioned beat
ing In the star ffteen-round bout at
Madison Square Garden last night.
Kansas earned seven rounds, Tender
three and five were even. Rocky was
IS firm and unperturbed as that rock
Of Gibraltar that he threatens to make
famous. Not chip had been knocked
off the Rocky face at the end of the
nuss.
Tender was not 80 fortunate. Gashes
had been opened up above and below
both his eyes, his ribs wore roseate
flush and he was Knocked down in the
ninth round by Rocky right hook to
the jaw.
In the twelfth, thirteenth and four
teenth rounds Tender. realizing he
would have to blast the Rock if victory
vas to be his, fought his hardest, get
ting an even break in the twelfth, los
Ing the thirteenth and earning the
fourteenth. Kansas tore in in the last
half of the final round and won that,
With Tender shaky on his pins as the
Seil ended the tight.
Rocky Forces Fighting
Tenders punches were the cleaner,
but his hardest blows only forced
bland grin from Rocky, who worked
with both hands.
Short Earring right and left hooks
to the head shook Tender up and cut
and bruised his face. Kansas also used
hack-hand punch with stunning eff
feet. He not only did much damage
with this wallop, but also threw off
most of the left-hander's leads. That
hack-hand slap won for Rocky. It's q
better stroke than Tenders.
Tender was a favorite in the betting
before the fight and he looked like the
ring. Lew looked as though he had
Just stepped out of one Of Philadel-
phia's snappiest permanent wave"
tonsorial parlors when the fight
started When the fight ended, Lew
looked like the survivors account Of a
railroad accident.
Lew took the first round, boxing
pretty rings about Rocky, and the
third, but from then on Lewis trouble
began. He spent very restless night.
Tiplitz Gets Decision
The first of the preliminary bouts
was an eight-round streak Of creased
lightning between Joe Tiplitz, of Phila-
delphia, and Johnny Darcy, Of this
city. 1t was smuggling orgy from
start to finish, with both boys standing
chest to chest and letting loose their
heavy artillery.
It was very shaky evening for Joe
and John. The last round contained
one and three-quarters times as much
real fighting as has been waged in all
the wars fought in South and Central
America within the last seventy-ive
years. The judges gave their decision
in favor of Tiplitz.
Bobby Michaels, of our esteemed East
Side, gained the decision over Earl
Baird in the second eight-round event.
Michaels had height, weight and reach
on his foeman, and his long left jab
found n receptive little bullseye on
Earls ruddy face. Baird was always
boring in, however, and was never in
any danger.
A boy who IS going to be right up
there at the head Of the table when
the bantamweight championship pie is
cut open some of these winter even
ings was seen in action in the eight
round semi-fnal tete-a-tete.
Carl Tremaine, Of Cleveland, was the
gent, and his partner in the sketch was
Marty Collins, of this burg Both
weighed in at 110 pounds. Kid Nc
Partland, the referee, stopped the
bout In the last round, presumably to
Bave Collins from knockout, but it
looked as though the kid was bit
overzealous for Martyrs health. Col
lins had taken beating in every round
and was bit wabbly when the affair
was stopped, but he could easily have
lasted the round out it seemed
