BY ED HARRINGTON
Young Mike Doyle saved the baby
beef in a whirlwind finish last night,
but the judges were generous in Civ
ing him the benefit of draw with
Young Abe Attell at the end of a
slow ten-round bout.
Tom Doyle offered baby beef to
the winner and John Hyder promised
a new straw bonnet to the battler
who won the decision. There was no
provision for a draw so Mike can
feed the critter and Abe will take
the milk: Johns only out is a pair
of hats for the boys.
Mike failed to show the old time
zip and punch that brought him from
a preliminary boy to main eventer
in the short space of a year. He tried
hard enough and kept boring in, but
Father Time aided Attell in the ten
round grind and he used his noodle
all the way. Mike was the aggressor
E
ones to Abe's body; he wanted to
slug and Abe did not. Abe just left
iahbed when the going got rough and
@ the ciinches he worked fast.
Mixes stock in trade is a man kill
ing right and he missed no less than
ten hard wallops, while Abe was
shooting lefts and rights to the head.
Attell's blows We're not heavy enough
to worry Mike and the home town
pride was just as strong at the fin
ish as he was awhen he started.
The decision was given by two
Judges and Referee Griffiths Three
should see the verdict better than one,
but my score sheet gives Abe the
third, fourth, fifth and sixth: Mike
gets the second, ninth and tenth, and
the first. seventh and eighth were
even. There was no big difference
in any round except the ninth, when
Mike looked like he was going to de-
liver a kayo. Mike was unable to
break through Abe's defense and
there was no slugging to give Mike
a chance to connect with his kayo
When he shot his right Abe was not
there. In the ninth round Mike sent
in an uppercut that stopped Abe in
his tracks and the crowd cried for
knockout. Abe worked into a clinch
and saved himself, but Mike connect
ed with two hard rights just before
the bell. Both boys evidently figured
on a tenth round victory and they
went in with both hands. There was
A. stiff exchange of blows with Abe's
punch landing as solid as Mikes faV-
orite right Mike had the advantage
when they quit slugging in this
frame.
Last nights bout was Mikes first
showing since Feb. %, and he did not
open as he did in previous bouts.
The long lay-off iuterfered with his
range, and blows that he ordinarily
landed solid missed their mark by
six or seven inches. His wind was
good and he could take everything
Abe delivered, but he couldn't get out
of the way of Abe's left hand. 1t was
a case of a wise old head against an
over-anxious youngster and Ape
made every second count. The end
of each round found the battlers
working in Abe's corner, where he
gained a few seconds advantage on
the rest and he forced Mike to come
to him for fight.
Tiny chases SnoWey
Tiny Refeld had too many hands
for Snowey Johnson and the home
boy admitted he had enough in the
sixth round of the semi final. Snowey
was tied in his tracks last night and
he allowed the Prescott boy plenty OF
opportunity to show his speed
Snowey staggered Tiny in the sec
ond round. but he moved too slow
TO make the best of his wallop and
before he knew what had happened
Tiny had responded with a right TO
the jaw which sent him reeling to the
ropes. Round after round Tiny show
cred Snowey with boxing gloves with
out heayy damage. but piling up
points. In the sixth the boys staged
a sIugging bee and Snowey was the
first to give out. He lost a molar
in the fifth frame and the gore
spouted profusely. The going be-
came too ~ough and Snowey Informed
the referee that he had enough and
Tiny gets credit for a technical kayo.
1t was a pretty little scrap for a
while and the fans enjoyed every
round.
Brown Beats Sherman
Sammy Sherman had Soldier
Brown ready for the florist in the
first round o their four round spe-
cial but a right to the jaw floored
Sammy for the count of nine and al
most ended the bout. Referee Schiff
was somewhat slow in his count or
Brown might have been cred
tied with a kayo. However, Sammy
came back strong and had Brown
hanging o,a at the end of the fourth.
Referee Schiff gave Brown the de-
cision, which he earned, but another
round would have seen the end of
Brown. Sammy was Just recovering
from the effects of his knockdoWn
and going big at the finish. He is a
tough youngster and takes 'em on the
chin, but he lacks polish.
Sam shot a couple of lefts to
Browns Jaw at the opening of the
round and forced Brown to take ref
uge in cliIleh. Sam pounded his
opponent IN TIE clinches, broke away
and shot another left to Browns
face. but he forgot that Brown still
had his right and the soldier hooked
it TO the point of the chin. Sammy hit
the floor like heavyweight and
Brown stood over his fallen adver-
sary ready to deliver the final blow
and Referee Schiff interspiced his
count with advice to Brown to back
up. Sammy took nine and regained
his feet goi.,~ into a clineh. Brown
had things pretty much his own way
in the second and in the third Sam
began to recover. It was a regular
scrap from then on and the odds ia
fored Sam at the end of the fourth
The decis on was popular.
