Gets Decision Over lin
Flynn in Fast 10 Round
Bout, Featuring Program

Kid Lee. colored lightweight
champion, received the decision
over Boney Gagliardi last night in
the third round of their 15-round
bout on o technical knockout. Gag
llardi, claiming he was fouled,
dropped to the floor. Physical ex-
animation by DR. W. NJ. Sheridan,
official club physician, failed to re-
veal any evidence Of a foul blow
and the bout was awarded to the
co1ored boy.
The bout opened up we'll both
boys going into action with the
gong. 1t became apparent, how
ever. before the round WIS over
that Lee was the more finished
product. His foot work was eXcep-
ttonallv fast. Giving the boys an
even break ca t'le first round, Lee
was far 10 the good during the
second and increased his lead in
the third M until Gagliardi went
to the floor.
In the ten-round double main
event of the evening. frankie
Dean of Pueblo won the decision
over Young Jim FLYNN of Alhu-
querque, in what was one of the
scrappiest bouts seen here this
season. The boys started willingly
and finished tho same way. Dean
carried the best of it almost the
whole distance, but not to such an
extent that interest was lacking at
any stage Of the game.

able punishment during the mill
but ALWAYS came back strong. The
Tight ended with both boys going
their fast pace and neither in dan
ger. 1t w9s Flynn's first hard
match against a boy Of his own
WEIGHT and he demonstrated his
ability to not only please the fans
but to give a good account of him
self.
Young Herrera Of Albunueruue
ran into pie again in the form of
Pete Aguilar of Belen in the open
ing bout of the evening. After a
minute and n half Of it, Aguilar
decided he had Travelled the entire
six rounds and took the count with
good grace.
It appears to be about time to
slip someone into the ring who is
not leary of Young Herrera's wal
lop.
There were enough challenges
sent out last night before the bout
TO keep Albuquerque fans up on
the bit for the next six months
Some of them look promising.
Young Sol Pueblo bantam IS
sued a challenge to the world at
his weight. BENNY Chavez stepped
stepped up and called it. sol is one
of the best bantams that has been
produced in the west. The mill
looks like good one.
Young Wallace Of Ration was
down looking for bout. preferably
with Speed Ball HAYDEN or Gorilla
Jones. Guss Hewitt of Tawton
Okla, claimed to be looking for
n bout at 1853 pounds and Ed West
accepted with Wallace. Both boys
have a good record behind them
and a better one in front.
Young Jim Flynn asked for a re-
turn bout with frankie Dean. Ed
West, Deans manager who claims
the two boys fought one of the
prettiest bouts he has seen this
season, expressed himself favor
able. The bout will probably be
one Of the corners during the win
ter.
Announcement was made by the
head of a special committee of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars that
they are framing up a starring at
traction soon. They plan a double
headline bill and at least one other
fast match. Plans will be an
nounced later.
