Wilmington was well represented
in the comparatively small crowd of

bouts in Philadelphia, last night.
Less than 5000 fans were out. the
windup between Bobby Barrett Of
Clifton Heights. who was knocked
out recently by Lew Tender and
Joe yelling, Chicago lightweight.
proving less attractive than expect
ed.
Barrett regained some of his lost
prestige last night, although he
was hooted when he had yelling
apparently out in both the seventh
and eighth. but did not display
enough ring knowledge to finish his
man. yelling had the better of II
up until the seventh. making Bar
rett miss repeatedly and look fool
ish with his wild swinging right.
In the seventh the Clifton Heights
mauler. who fought some of his be-
ginning bouts at Wilmington
smokers, connected one OF his dead
" rights with Welling's jaw but Il
was a trife high. 1t shook the Chi
cagoan to his shoes and had him
groggy and holding on. Barrett
landing two or three more in rapid
succession. but missing the button.
Welling succeeded in weathering the
storm and was apparently fresh at
the start of the eighth. but he soon
appeared to be in trouble again and
used. all of the ring to last to the
final gong.
Due to the threatening weather
conditions the windup was put on
ahead of the semi. but the overcast
skies withheld. Earl France, the
lightweight from the Pacific Coast.
who has found much favor in and
around Philadelphia, suffered his
first defeat in the East at the hands
OF Eddie Fitzsimmons. Earl could
not solve Eddie's left-handed style
to any extent and Eddie landed a
couple of hard port punches to the
jaw in the fifth.
In the bout preceding the wind
up, Sammy Seiger, of New York, and

testants for Johnny Dundee's junior
