Willie Singer, State amateur feather
weight champion. who, as the repre-
sentative of the Ninety-second Street
Y. VI. II. A., has been moving down his
opponents in the 12S pound class in the
tourney at Madison Square Garden. last
night earned the right to box in the in
ternational competition at Toronto. Oc-
tober 10.
Singer disposed of all his opponents in
handy fashion, his nineteenth consecu-
tive knockout being scored at the ex
pense of Harry Felix of Rutgers Gym.
Felix had performed we'll in preceding
bouts, and as he is a good boxer his
friends thought he had a chance against
the champion. Singer Is southpaw
and uses his left with telling effect on
the body.
Felix showed fear of Singers left from
the start and after a few in the solar
plexus in the third, he curled up on the
canvas.
At the close of the bout Singer an
nounced that he would turn professional
and that his bout last night would be
his last as an amateur. This action on
his part precludes Singer going to To.
ronto as member of the New York
team.
John Kochonsy, amateur bantam
Cohan. the clever negro bantam, a stiff
argument and got the decision. There
Should have been another round
Sam Crimenza and Sam Davis two
12S Founders, furnished the comedy ele-
ment In large doses. They combined
punching and wrestling in pleasing pro-
portions and their swinging was terrific.
In fact. Crimenza swung so hard at
Davis in the second round that he
sprained his left arm and was compelled
tc quit.
mixed bout that caused considerable
excitement was that between Jack Car
ter negro of the st. Christopher Clue,
and Bob Dillon, Ave Maria X of {.
They are welters. Carter outboxed his
white opponent but Dillon got his right
hand to work in the second and scored
two knockdowns for counts of nine.
Carter rallied in the third and had a
safe lead at the close.
