Twenty-thousand saw the battle. Mar

soldier a merry argument. Martin

Martin found Morans jaw at will

Frank was waiting for one good shot

more than evened it with wild rights.
Once he fell to the floor after missing

weak he could only peck at Moran's
jaw. Moran himself could scarcely
stand and he was conserving his
strength for a chance knockout. He
was so spent he could hardly hold I'D

1t was apparent at the start of the
seventh round that Moran soon would
drop from exhaustion. Martin crowded

him repeatedly with his left and started
him on the road to ruin with vicious
right uppercut. The matter of beating
MIN down was merely routine.
Moran Appears Fat
Moran who weighed 200 pounds and
appeared fat shot out old Mary Aann
several times in the first round and
twice found the mark. Earring Martin.
Bob, however, used good left lab

with two roundhouse left swings in
the second round. Martin had no
difficulty finding Moran with a left to

torpled Martin.
Sailor freedman, of Chicago, who has
designs on Benny Leonards light
weight crown, fought the twelve-round
semi-final with Pete Hartley, of the
Bronx. The Sailor weighed 1861 and
hartley 1876 pounds. Freedman had bet
ter wait till Benny is an old man be-
fore he tries for the title. He made
poor old Hartley look bad but if he
saved the crowd lot of pain by scor-

But Pete, wild-eyed and wobbly for a
half dozen rounds, dropped the Sailor
for count of nine in the tenth This,
however, couldn't change the complex

called it draw, decision that got the

Charley Ledoux, the bantamweight
OF Chicago, fought one of the most
thrilling battles between little men
the old town has witnessed in MANY
a year.
Ledoux was outpointed and scarcely
able to stand at the end. but he won
the big crowd by his remarkable game
ness. The Frenchman was given as big
hand as the victor at the end and
most of the ringside crowd implored
the judges to give the Frenchman a
draw before their very fair verdict was
announced. Ledoux weighed 1879 and
Burman 11o pounds.
When Georges Carpenter, Francois

enthusiasm and rendered the idol of
France an ovation that lasted several
minutes. The big crowd was soon

The ,Frenchman tore into Burman
and hammered Burman all over the
ring, but Joe came back toward the
end and evened the count. Burman
got in some wicked right uppercuts in
the second that cut Ledoux's face
badly, though the Frenchman in turn
rallied in the last minute, when the
pair stood toe to toe and fought like
Kilkenny cats. The third was an
other thriller In this round Ledoux
almost closed Burman's right eye with

In the seventh round, after Burman
had drubbed him at close quarters
Ledoux rushed in like an angry bull
and simply rained shower of lefts
and rights to face and body. He
seemed, however, to have lost much OF
the early steam to his punches. In
