BOX WELL AT HUB
C0han and Powell Win for st.
Christopher's Club in Ma
tiOnal Title Bouts.

BosToN. April 17.-The Boston Arena
was crowded tonight for the prelmi-
maries in the natiQNal A. A. u. boxing
championships. Pie lighting was fast
and furious from the start. with prac-
tically all the bouts so closely contested
that a decision either way would have
struck the average fan as fair. Owing
to the large number OF bouts every
contest had to be decided within three
rounds, The time not permitting OF
extra rounds even for the closest bat
ties therefore more than one boxer
who put up an exceedingly clever battle
lost q nip and tuck decision BY the dip
Of coin, as it were.
One OF the most popular victories in
the early part OF the fighting was that
OF Harry Marcus OF Cleveland. in the
IL pound class, over Nat pincus Of
New York. Both boys were clever. fast
and aggressive. Both used two hands
and used them well. 1t was close
battle throughout the three rounds, with
Marcus having just a shade the better
Of the argument.
One of the few bouts that did not 90
the distance was that in the liz pound
class between Leroy Powell, St, Chris
topfTers Club OF New York. and Alex
ander Greenberg OF Philadelphia. Powell
was altogether too fast and strong for
the Philadelphia and had him on the
ropes inside the first two minutes of
the first round. He was Furnishing
Greenberg so severely that referee Free
man stopped the bout ut the end Of
two minutes and gave the decision 70
