Eagan Gets Decision

Joe Eagan and George Robinson, a
pair of veterans. battled 10 rounds at
the Carlisle A. c. show at the Grand
Opera House Thursday night, and
Eagan was given the decision. For
four rounds Robinson did well.
He was the aggressor and landed
his left frequently on Eagan's face.
In the second round he had Eagan
a bit dizzy, but Eagan came back and
hooked his left to Robinson's jaw. He
also crossed the right to the colored
boxers jaw a few times. Eagan got
going in his old form in the fifth
round and thereafter kept in front.
He hooked the left to the jaw often
and countered with the right on the
body and jaw. Robinson landed come
lefts on Eagans face and rights on
the head.

night. Palmer was put to the ma.
three times, and several times Palm
er had Sears weary with body
smashes. Sears was given fhe deci-
sion at the end Of eight rounds
