New York Boy
In Strong Rally
Near the End
Referee Decides After
Judges Disagree; ST. Paul
Roy Claims Broken Hands


roppds to draw at Madison Square
Garden last night, this decision being
sven by Referee Billy Haukop after
.he judges, Major A. J. Drexel Biddle
and Joe Ruddy, had disagreed.
The majority of the $4,000 spectators
seemed to think that sieger was en-
titled to the verdict, and from the ring
aide IL looked as if the local boy had
earned the right to the championship
bout with Kilbane.
Sleger came strong in the last five
rounds, shooting over heavy rights to
Ne Foes jaw. The St. Paul veteran
,ooked tired when the final bell rang.
Major Biddle voted fer Sieger, while
guddy decided on draw.
In explanation of De Foes lack of
.grressiveness in the last half dozen
reunds. it was said he had broken his
hight hand in the eighth or ninth
round The St. Paul man certainly
favored his right mauler in the last
stages, and it was this that enabled
sieger TO pile up points in those ses-
siOns.
Start at Slow Pace
The weights were given as 1875 pounds
for De Foe and 124 for Seiger. No
damaging blows were landed in the
first round, Seiger assuming the cg-
gressi7e as he lashed out with a fast
left hand De Foe took matters very
deliberately and smothered his oppo-
nent's leads
The next two rounds went at faster
clip, with De Foe working a straight

The younger man got home some stiff
rights to the body, but De Foe had a
shade at the end of the third on clean
punching.
The fourth was a toss-up, with
neither man doing anything dangerous,
but in the sixth, twenty seconds beio
the bell, Seiger. with rights and lefts

At once and flew back into another
furv of fighting. 1t was Seiger's round.
The East Side boy was stronger in
the clinches and bulled De Foe around
considerably. Billy had shade in the
seventh, his straight left getting
through Sammy's guard. 1t was when
Sleger discarded boxing tactics and
went in TO slug that he showed best
The eighth was about an even break
Sleger slipping to his knees once when
hard swing went awry and glancing
right to the jaw from De Foes glove
helped him to flop.
Local Boy Makes Rally
The ninth was fast and there was
not much to choose between them. The
tenth was De Foes, the st. Paul fighter
catching many of Sieger's blows on his
gloves and arms, while his own punches
went home soIdly. Sieger earned the
honors in the eleventh, clipping De Foe
three times with heavy overland rights
to the jaw, Whenever they got in

The twelfth found Sammy getting the
honors again, and De Foe looked a bit
tired from the pace as he went to his
corner. Sleger was hitting the mari
more often now, left jabs and viciou,

Billy's guard. Two right-hand chops t.

He took the thirteenth and fourteenth

Sleger was the better man in the las
round, connecting several times wit
heavy rights to the jaw.
