Society, in the New York State ANA
steur boxing championships at Madison
Square Garden last night The cop
won by a wide margin from the Morse
man, whose efforts, though futile, were
a source of much amusement to the
spectators.
Cries Of Come on, Red" spurred
enough to beat Adams, who showed
marked improvement over his previous
bout Larsen fayed the air in ener-
ectic style, meanwhile taking nifty
Iscing from the copper.
Tho storm of disapproval which
~pearly stopped the show on Tuesday
broke loose again last night and once
more Referee Eddie Forbes was the
target. The last outburst, and a
yociferous one it was, came when
forbes declared James Tanning, OF tho
O'Connel, of the Paulist Athletic
Club. in the title bout Of the 108
pound class.
i 1t certainly appeared that O'Connell
had earned the verdict, and when the
Judges disagreed the least Forbes
could have done was to order another
round
Walker Still Champion
x Archie Walker, the only defending
champion in the tournament, retained
hisn crown for the 135-pound class by
defeating Nick Penuti, of the Paulist
A. c., in the first round as the gong
was about to ring. Penuti was hope
lessly beaten and the referee stopped
the bout.
The champion exhibited tho same
acterized his boxing for the last five
years, and at no time did the challen-
ger have a chance. At the outset
+. Walker punished Penuti with lefts to
the mid-section, and following fusil-
flade of rights and lefts to the head the
p Paulist representative was beaten
boy.
E Seven new title holders were in
stalled during the course of the enter
tainment 1t remained for the last
bout Of the evening to furnish the fire
wearied feeling from the customers
and brought them to their feet. The
Schwartz Singer bout did this. Each
endowed with that rare combination
Of cleverness and ability to hit hard,
the contest was at once an exhibition
Of skill and slugging-a most fitting
final. The judges awarded the verdict
70 Schwartz.
Crowd of 1000 Enthusiastic
Customers were not so plentiful,
there being only four thousand present.
hut what was lacking in numbers was
amply made up for in enthusiasm. Like
wise there were fewer knockouts, the
preliminaries having been disposed of,
and the card was fully as interesting
as on any previous night of the tourna-
ment.
Probably the best contest Of the semi
finals was that between James Farming.
Hudson Guild, and f. f. Everding, Long
Island K. c. These 108-pounders started
out at terrific clip, swinging with reck-
iess abandon and taking lot of un-
necessary punishment. 1t was only a
question Of time before one or the
other would take the long count, and
tho end came in the second round, when
Tanning placed crashing right to the
aw. Everding went to the canvas with
a thud. and his head struck with such
force that he had to be carried to the
dressing room, where he was revived
after about seven minutes The doc
tors reported that he was unhurt.
MET" Champion Defeated
One of the big surprises Of the
(, evening was the elimination Of Jack
p Stark Bronxdale A. c., Metropolitan
y title holder in the 125-pound division
t who was hot favorite for state
=. honors. Stark's defeat was admins
:. tered by Harold Evans, OF the Holy
Cross Lyceum, the runner-up for the
Metropolitan title when the Bronxdale
Youth won it.
Inc bout went to extra round
after three sessions appeared even
In the fourth Evans clearly outfought
the champion and the judges decision
IN favor of the Holy Cross battler
was eminently fair.
