I'M. lament for about 5000 enthusiastic
..tomers the visitors will depart this
s'.s,n;ng with only one victory out of
mi attempts to love- the colors of
~ local ring stars. The single ex-
.ss.ion. which prevented clean sweep
~ our boys, was the defeat of Milton
W.;ss, of the Ninety-second Street
IN n. A., 145-pound state champion.
:, tha hands of Harry Henning, of the
s,oadvay A. c., Toronto.
Weiss, the champion, pitted against
boy who has prac tically no ring rec
s,d even in his home town, was q pitt
ri spectacle in the second round after
ssrses CT vicious jolts to the head and
s.omach, and was counted out on his
nj while cropping in dazed condition
;or his opponent.
II was q decided upset, for in the

American Shows Gameness
The end came as the second round
vas nearly over. A terrific right swing
10 the jaw sent Weiss reeling against
the ropes, where he hung for a moment
and then slipped to the floor. Taking
The count OF nine, the local boy arose
slowly and staggered in the general
direction Of his opponent. Henning
csrefully measured his man and sent
ID 8 powerful left to the head and
Weiss crumpled and fell. Again he
took short count. but as he regained
bis feet the referee waved the game
younEster TO his corner and awarded
he bout to Henning.
Archie Walker, the metropolitan and
state champion in the 135-pound class,
drew tough opponent in Walter New
ton, Of Tororto, semi-fnalist in the re-
cent Olympic games. but Archie's ciev-
e1ness was rewarded and he received
the decision after three rounds of
spifited fighting. Newton took every
thing Walker had, came back for m ore
and actually stung the local boy sew
eral times with wicked rights to the
body.
The circus bout of the evening was
nshered in when Charles McDoulton,
the light heavyweight champion of
Toronto, attempted to fight Gordon
Munce, the Pastime A. G. giant. The
visitor looked more like a champion
iumbler than q boxer. and his antics
kept the crowd in an uproar until the
bout was finally terminated in the sec
ond round McDoulton tumbled over
the canvas trying to avoid Munce's
vicious swings, and in this round was
practically out standing up. His sec
ends threw III the towel
