BUCKLEY M'G|NN|S
HAS FINE RECORD
Local Bantamweight Adds An
other Knockout to His
Long String.

Bucky McGinnis, the local bantam
weight favorite. again displayed his
terrific punching powers Wednesday
evening mt Harrington. when he sent
Georgia Kelly. of Philadelphia. to
dreamland In the first round. This
; Is the local boys fourth one-round
knockout OF the present season and
the 3sth OF his career. The local boy
has been In the boxing game about is
months and during that time has
made n wonderful record. His most
notable victory during the present
season was when he outclassed Joey
Fletcher. the highly touted bantam
weight of Chester. He not only out
classed the Chester boy. but dropped
him twice.
Another notable feat that the local
boy performed during the present sea-
son was when he stood off Sammy
Butts, the New York bantamweight
sensation at Chester. Butts was I'M
ported to Chester to knock out the
local boy. but much to Butts sur
prise he found a boxer that he couldn't
even drop.
Although Buckley has been knocking
out boys of his own weight, he sur
prlsed his followers on the Fourth OF
July by knocking out Tommy Burgess
a husky welterweight at Kennett
Square in the first round.
McGinnis has taken part in ~
| fights and out of that number has
scored SO knockouts. This lad ls the
most terrific puncher that Whining

ranks for the past 20 years.
His manager Is negotiating for sew
