5000 APPLAUD
AMATEUR BOXERS
Lively Bouts and Some Knock
downs at Opening of Gar
den Tournament.
BY CHARLES r. MATHIsON.

Inc largest crowd tnat ever SatnSred
IN Madison Square Garden TO witness
bouts between amateur boxers heartily
applauded the efforts of big squad of
future champions last night Fully 5000
persons were present. and they saw
series of fantastic exhibitions of the
manly art that kept them In excellent
good humor Some of the combats were
mirth-provoking, and others were gro
tesque. Yet the contestants in a ma
jority of the bouts were in deadly ear
nest and gave thsir best.
Tom Saiernos of the Blue Diamond
Club had a unique excuse for quitting
in the second round OF his bout with
Joseph Girolamo, st. Josephs Catholic
Club. He complained to the referee that
he had pain in the head. and he laid
his glove on his Uranium where the
trouble was located A majority of
Girolamo's blows landed on Salerno's
body and his headache was a surprising
result.
The shortest bout on the programme
was between William Granders, Reliance
A. c., and Edward j. Humphrey, unat-
tached. In thirty seconds Grander had
Humphrey on the floor, and the referee
brought the proceedings to a close.
John McCabe. Ferris S. A. Club. 10
pound class, looked like small edition
same treatment that the Pittsburgh
heavyweight has been getting. McCabe
took a drubbing with a smile and re-
mained on his feet as long as he could
which was the second round. He then
sank gracefully to the canvas under a
shower of blows in the Jaw delivered by
Michael de Rienzo, Avondale A. c.
The referees at amateur Journeys do
not tolerate much persifiage on the part
of seconds. A raucous voiced handler
for Sam Bimstein. p. A. Y. NJ. c. A,
urged his man to go after his opponent
Ben Singuro. Samaclar A. C.
you've got him going" yelled the
second. Caspar Kirschner, the referee,
advanced menacingly to the corner and
said: you'll be going soon II you don't
keep quiet" The second subsidized.
Singuro won from Bmstein. knocking
him down In his own corner. The victor
was almost exhausted when he struck
the winning blow. but on seeing his op-
ponent on the floor he ran over and
dared him to get up. The referee in
duced Singuro to call 1t nights work
