JACK LYNCH WINS DECISION OVER RED GARDNER IN s FAST ROUNDS;
 HAYDEN JONES EVENT VERY TAME
Main Event Slow


 In the main event Speedball Hayden
 won the decision from Gorilla Jones in a good four round fight.
 Gorilla had a sore shin and couldn't
 hit and Hayden had weak knees and
 couldn't lower his guard. It was a very tame main event, in fact the Lynch Gardner go was the main event and worth the price of admis-
 sion in itself. Jones couldn't get his feet out of the way and Hayden step
 ped on his toe, Jones falling to the
 mat. For the next six rounds Jones kept dropping to the mat without try ing to hurt his opponent. The crowd began to roar and the referee was get
 ting peeved he wanted the boys to
 fight and Jones called for a doctor to
 alibi his bad wheel. In the second round Hayden claimed foul when Jones opened a small barrage.
 After the fifth round the match maker began to get peeved and gently informed Mistah Jones that he didn't
 pay his transportation from the bor- der in order that the Gorilla one might
 recuperate his health. Williams said fight or no money and Jones took the tip. In the sixth Jones went out to fight, forgetting that his limb inter- fered with the battle, but he did show
 signs of a bad member when he tried
 to race Hayden around the ring. The
 last five rounds Jones swung every thing he had at Hayden's guard and occasionally he managed to slip one to
 the Speedball's dome. In the eighth Jones had Hayden worried and Speed
 ball used judgment in dropping to his | 1.- G1~- III nrvr- plaining about his limb, but had thoughts of that carfare and forced the fighting. He was in position to
 stop Hayden several times. but his brain ceased to function and he let the tan boy go through. The tenth was the same as the ninth. Jones was willing and Hayden was careful, aw- full careful, in fact so careful he made a brilliant dash around the ring for a couple of hundred yards. The gong sounded much to the satisfaction of the crowd, and Referee Corpstein gave Hayden the decision much to the dissatisfaction of the crowd. He probably gave Hayden the benefit of the top heavy condition of Jones, who couldn't stand up during the first five rounds. In the four rounds Jones had everything his own way, but Hayden got the decision. Perhaps Billy was sore it didn't make any difference how the thing finished; it was how it started.
 Joe Brown Looked Good
 Joe Brown played rings around Jack Daily for six rounds and won a well deserved decision. Daly should return 1 to the ranks of the unemployed for l some time to come. As fighter he makes an excellent punching bag. Joe sprained his right hand in the third round and beat Daily with one mitt l the rest of the way. Daily would l open good at the start of each round, | per his usual custom, and finish a J poor second. Joe treated the fans to l some clever work during the six | rounds, but his hitting power was not | up to snuff.
 The opening bout ended in the sec | ond stanza of a scheduled four round | event when the referee stopped the battle to save Joe Lepo from un- necessary punishment Lepo looked good in the first round, but passed uI his chance-in the second he didn I have an oppo1 tunity to raise his | gloves while Soldier Brown showereo him with rights and lefts. Browr dropped Lepo for a few seconds anc Joe came up hanging on the ropes
 Brown landed few short jabs to the
 head, but Joe didn't feel them-h'
 was asleep on his feet
 The attendance at last nights bou proved the interest in the fight game
 in this city and indicates a big sum mer The main event was a dlsap' lpointment-but it was April Fool any way, and the crowd more than re-
 ceived its moneys worth in the pre-
 liminaries. All bouts on fight care cannot be perfect, and picking three good ones out of four is a good start The next card will be staged Apri
