ace k5Sea1ty rounds of as fast and furl-
s5as boxing as has been seen here IN
many years were witnessed by large
crowd at the Opera House last night
in revival of the pugihstic game
in Americas. Lovers of the sport
got their moneys worth and more
and saw three clean and lively bouts,
with the men evenly matched in each
bout and all putting up the best they
had.
The main bout of the evening was
an 8-round affair between Joe Mas
ser, boxer-wrestler previously seen in
mat work here, and Jack Ross, an
nounced as the champion of Geor
gia. Both are light heavy-weights,
Ross weighing 1872 pounds and Mas
ser 166. They went the regulation
2-minute rounds and mixed it in live
ly. fashion in every round. They
wore heavy gloves, the thick pau
ding of which made it impossible for
either to do serious damage to the
other, but both were considerably
mussed up at the end of the melee,
although no gore was drawn. Mas
ser was awarded the decision by Har-
~ Stevens, who refereed, and the
ruling met with the approval of the
house, Nasser having had a clean
margin on points.
In the semi-windup an Americas
boy, Ottie P. johnson, weighing 142,
met Arthur Tyson, 1876, Albany light
weight who has been doing some good
work in preliminaries in this section
lately. 1t was Johnsons first ring
engagement, and he showed an abili-
ty that greatly surprised his home
acquaintance. He exhibited distinct
skill in protecting himself, carried a
good punch which he was able to use
frequently, and showed good brand
of foot work. Not being accustom-
ed to the gruelling strain of ring
work, his wind appeared to wane
somewhat after the first couple of
rounds, while Tyson, although TAX
ing considerable punishment, remain
ed as strong as when he started.
johnson held the aggressive, howev-
er, throughout the bout and was
awarded the decision by Referee Egg
bert Clark. The bout was for 6
rounds of l LIZ minutes each. His
showing indicated that with some
consistent training and regular work.
out Johnson might develop into a
high class boxer.
The program opened with a six
round affair between two husky
senegambians, who put on a scrap
that was ludicrous for lack of skill
but which afforded much amusement.
Promoter Alex Thomas announced
that because of the American Legion
boxing program June 2 no athletic
shows would be staged by him here
next week, but said thereafter thew
would be put on regularly--either
wrestling or boxing.
