country.
With few exceptions every one of the
twenty bouts. including the opcn-clas IS
events which were added to the card, was
hr,mful of action. but there were four
or FIVE bouts that stood out as spectac-
ular exhibitions The performances Of
Sid Terris, OF Rutgers Gymnasium. the
tate hantamweight champion; one
Mike kawalski. an eN-marinc. and a
neucomcr IN local circles. and the work
Of Bunny Fccney. another local prod
net, werc easily the outstanding fca-
turcs of the evening.
Terris. scvcnteon-ycar- old bantam.
won both his bouts via the knock out
route in tho first round. His frst
victim was Nick Tounak. Of Bridge
port. who had been hcrslded as great
performer with the gloves. Nick
proved in the few minutes he fought
that nc was far from o novice. but Ter
Ass famous left jab soon had tho
Bridgeport boy in trouble, and a little
later Sid finished his man with a
smashing right to the jaw.
Johnston Also Victim
In the final Of this class Terris faced
Jack Johnston. Of Toronto, who had
advanced to the medal round 10y some
mighty nara NiltiUS. nut tItE HI IOthtH
alike to Sid, and after iabbing Jack
until tho visitor was dizzy the local
bov again demonstrated that he packs
n wicked wallop by sending Johnston
10 dreamland. Considering his slender T
build Terris is great little fighter,
and with proper handling should go
far.
Kawalsky. who only recently was
DISCHARGED from the Marine Corps
after s long service in France, came IN
for large share of the spotlight
honors. for he made most auspicious
debut, batterng down Harry Henning,
the middleweight champion of Canada,
in the third round Of a slashing bout.
Kawalsky weighed but 147 pounds and
was at least three inches shorter in
height than the Canadian.
Both men fought visions battle.
There was not a moment of inactivity
from the clang of the first gong until
hard right sent the title holder to
the floor for the long coun, Previous
his man and sent over crashing blows
that sent Hcnning to the canvas for
tho count of nine.
Feency Makes Comeback
After a short rest the former marine
stepped into the ring with Bunny
Feeney, also q local product. in the
final bout of the evening. and another
thrilling contest ensued. Kawalsky
rushed matters at the outset, and afte r
about thirty seconds of fast fighting
clipped Feeney on the jaw with a
.crrifc right swing. Bunny went to
tho floor for the short count for the
first time in his career
Here again the weights worked q
hardship upon the former Marine, for
he was giving Feeney fully twenty
pounds. and the latter recovered quick
~ and began wearing Kawalski down
with his sheer strength and weight
The second round was Feeney's, and in
tho third Bunney administered severe
punis shment. but always Kawaski tore
in for more and every now and ther
sent III a stiff jolt on his own accord
Kawalsk tired toward the end. He
had fought five hard rounds, ane
seemed to lose the power which earned
knockout over Henning, but he was
game and try as he would Feeney could
not put the former Marine away. Boil
men were cheercd enthusiastically a,
they left the ring.
Muncc Winner by Default
Gordon Munce, the local holder of the
national heavyweight championship
won the nrSt tnal OF the evening by
default. A. Hitler, Canada, hurt his
hand in preliminary bout and was
not allowed to meet Munce.
Charlie McKenna. the New York
state light heavyweight champion, fol
lowed with another victory for Man
haitian. defeating Charles McDoulton
Of Toronto, the Canadian 175-pound
champion. This pair bore a remark
able resemblance and both were un-
usually fast for their weight.
The Canadian packed q neat one-tuo
punch with lightning-like uppercut
as a finisher and, although he landed
often, McKerna undoubtedly had q
shade after three rounds.
Walter Newton. Of Toronto, gave
the evening when Leon Earl. of Bridge
port stepped into the ring to do battle
with our own Bunny Feeney. The
very sight of Earl provoked mirth. A
ponderous barrel shaped person with
hair enough on his chest to I'll mat
tress Earl numbered about the ring
with no more idea of fighting than the
Numanian navy.
Feency whired the bridgeport man
around q couple of times with sharp
iefts and the visitor walked to his
corner and sat down. He was certain
iy III advised when told that he could
