The soldier was beaten, but not
outgamed. In the feature go. when
Boatswain Danny Duarte. a light
weight. stopped Shifty Shifton IN
the sixth round. 1t was not q clean
knock out. Shifton simply was ex.
hausted from stopping every bIox
that came his way. He was knocked
down five times. In the sixth. when

wicked punches, Referee Lieut.. Col

blame for losing. Twice IT, the sec

sent Holorook down for the coun'
with left-hand punches to the jaw
Instead Of following his advantage
Carbon held back. Here is where i,
made his mistake.
Holbrook Cats Loose.
Holbrook loafed for two ROUNDS
and then cut lose in the ffir an
sixth. In the hnsl. he beat Carbon
around the ring by well-time'
blows. which the little Fort Mye
entry was unable &c duck. HolbroUl
was deserving OF the verdict.
Many in the throns disputed til.
decision of the judges in awarding
Jimmy "Bruiser" Maxfield. of For
Myer. the verdict over Gunne'
Hines. These fans overlook IL,
fact that the mauling Msxheld diC
all the leading and that his blow
carried more of a kick than Hines
jabs. Maxfield had Hines in ba,
shape in the fifth. Hines tried &
even the count in the Anal
but could not wipe out the lea
Maxfeld earned in the early rounds
The preliminaries were bette
than some OF the feature attrac
tions. The post introduced u new
