But Lacks Knockout

By RAY HELGESEN.

Joe CLANCY. Baltimore light
weight, conqueror OF Danny Duarte
q little over a week ago. met more
than he could handle IN the fistlc
line last night at the Sportland
Heights Arena, Berwyn. Nd. Cheney
was thrown In against Young
Bowen. Of Washington. and man
aged to win just one round from the
Bathing Beach socker. Bowen had
q distinct lead in five rounds, with
the remaining four about even.
Bowen opened the first round with
left lead to the chin. but from
then on during the first and second
rounds he was forced on the defen-
sive by the Baltimore boy. Cheney
drew Bowen into clinches, where he
pounded him on the body. completely
outciassing Bowen in this respect
but Bowen managed to make ootn
these rounds even in the long range
exchanges.
The third was Chaney's all the
way and was the only round he won.
He is a clever infighter ana he was
landing four blows to Bowen's one
in this round.
Then came the fourth and the be-
ginning of Bowen's new style or
attack. Instead of following CLANCY
into clinches, Bowen stayed away
and pecked at his opponents face.
A minute after the round opened he
had smashed Chaney's right eye
closed A little later he again
dropped one on the bruised optic.
opening a cash just over the eye
brow.
The fifth saw Chaney's left eye
go the same route his other one
had except that it was not treated
as roughly. Bowen smashed through
with a left lead to the chin. and
when Clancy covered, came over
with a sweeping right. landing on
Chaney's eye and making Il the
same color as the other one. black
The sixth, seventh and eighth
were all Bowen. Chaney kept
pounding at Andy's ribs in the
cIinches. but couldn't make much of
an impression on him. Bowen kept
driving through with his left. fol-
lowing now and then with a sweep
ing right. He easily won these
rounds, even though CLANCY was
beating him to the punch in close.
CLANCY opened the ninth with a
run but caught a stiff left lab
tnat slowed him up considerably
However, the round was even.
The tenth found the two of them
slugging toe to toe. CLANCY
couldn't get away from that left
jab of BOwen's, but he was still
able to pound at the lifeguard's
body when the bell rang.
Bowens victory was more or less
of a surprise. CLANCY had taken
him in a ten-rounder last year, but
oil ole
had won on a Baltimore lewiston"
He only wanted another chance at
him, he said. He got it last night
and proved conclusively that there
might be something in his conten-
tlon that CLANCY was given the
edge in their first bout.
Johnny Reno, the sailor boxer,
took John l.. Smith to the circus
in the eight-rOund semi windup.
Reno was on top of Smith all the
way, winning every round, but
didn't have the punch to put Smith
away A dozen times Smith was
on the verge of dreamland. but
always managed to assimilate
Reno's blows and come back for
more. This fight was one of the
best of the evening. and believe it
or not. they were all worth see
ing.
Jimmy Brock. of Baltimore, who
last week was knocked out by Bat
Woodman. another sailor battIer.
came back last night against
Woodman and won the decision in
siN-rounder. Brooks victory was
clean cut and his showing was 100
per cent better than that of last
week.
Results of the other fights were:
O'Brien-Skinner - Four rounds:
draw.
Conroy-Vincent-Conroy disquaIi-
fled in second round.
