open air carnival Of bouts presented
by Boilermakers' Local 494 in the
spacious arena at Harlan Field last
night. High dives, technical k. o.'s,
fast and furious milling, everything
but the one-blow knockout, not list
ed on the program but legitimately
expected in Queensbury contests
were afforded the fans who promen-
AIDED "over the bridge" to the en-
closed ball yard Beside there was
some real comedy stuff, premeditat-
cd and otherwise.
Head and shoulders above all 9TH
er contests was the semi-windup be-
tween Kid Sum, 4 bantamweight
champion of Delaware and Willie
Allen, a socker and rocker from
Philadelphia 1t was one of those
see-saw affairs with neither battler
being weary a minute, first one
showing to better advantage and
then the other.
Sum seemed to land more. and
cleaner blows but the Allen person,
smaller in stature and put together
more solidly, delivered some telling
punishment at close quarters. At
long range the lanky local entry was
supreme. Plaudits from the throng
were equally divided between the
boys and this expression Of the popu-
lar verdict was fair to both. The
bout was a good draw

called such, could not have been
expected to excel the Sunn-Allen set
to. and it didn't by about 21 and

we can count. If we had said a

writers call an anti-climax. II

no mercy from the first gong by re

Kid Baltimore was given an ova
ton when he climbed underneath
the ropes to combat with Johnn,
Bail. Of Chester, in the main pre-
hminary. The boys in the stan'
