Andy Thomas, the angular light
weight OF the East Side, won what was
the most notable victory of his career
last night when he defeated the vet
eran Joe yelling of Chicago in a
thrilling twelve round battle at Madi-
son Square Garden. Thomas showed
his class by coming from behind TO
score victory over one of the craftiest
boxers in the ring.
The New York boxer looked like a
defeated man in the early rounds of
the combat. In the second round
yelling dropped Andy for a count of
nine and had the youngster in serious
trouble when the bell sent him to his
corner. From the second round up to
the sixth the veteran had things pretty
much his own way, coolly and meth
odically applying a Furnishing left
hand to the newcomers face. The left
paved the way for the right, and when
openings were made yelling scored
with so much drive that several times
it looked as though the boy must yield.
With bulldog courage the youngster
stuck to the fight until in the sixth
round an astonishing transformation
scene was staged. Calling on all his re-
sources Thomas rushed at the older man
and showered him with heavy lefts to
face and body. yelling fought back as
best he could, but the attack of the
youngster was so furious that the Chi
cagoan was compelled to hold on and
cover UP In order to save himself from a
knockdown. 1t was a wonderful rally.
and when the New Yorker came out for
the seventh round he apparently he'd re-
gained all his vigor.
Tide Switches to Thomas.
From that time on Thomas waged
O. relentless fight on the veteran. Well
ing at times tried to get his right hand
over to the jaw, but 1t was evident that
the Chicagoan was tirinG and IN the
final six rounds he did little but ciinch
every time Andy rushed at him.
The youngsters advantage in the
final seven rounds of the fight GER
tainly overshadowed Welling's lead IN
the first five and earned for him the
decision. There was considerable hoot-
ing at the verdict, but Iivtle foundation
for any dissatisfaction for the ruling.
Thomas by his game uphill fight showed
that the high opinion held of him has
not been misplaced.
Kid Kaplan OF Meriden, Conn, re-
ceived the award of the judges over
