Bobbie Lee. Billy Long and Kid Sparks
were winners in the nsticun show staged
by the Olympic Athletic Club at the
Broadway Theater last night. In the
Click Boorde match, which proved the
evenings feature, the opinion Of the
ringsiders seemed to point to a good
draw.
The program was a good one and a
large house was present to see the boys
trade punches. Heze Clark refereed all
bouts. 1t was the last glove show held
under the jurisdiction of the old boxing
commission a new ruling body, com
prised of cOuncilmen only, having been
appointed last night
The Bobbie LeeJack White bout,
Iiled as the main go, did not amount to
much White seemed to POSSESS a glass
stepped out with his usual vigor ana
started seeking hard ones home imme-
diately. White seemed to suspect that ne
was m for sound drubbng and he went
to the mat near the close of the round
after Lee had cracked him with few
short rights. The bell sounded while
White was prone, but he didn't care for
any more Of Lees game and refused 70
come out for the second round That
gave Lee the bout by technical knock
out .
The sidney Click Freddie Boordes
scrap was a thriller from bell TO bell OF
the eight rounds. Sidney was the better
at infghting and Boorde seemed TO nave
a slight advantage at long range. both
boys meant business and there were
several rallies staged that had the rams
jumping 1t was an excellent scrap anu

their boy deserved the hOnOrs, the I'M 70

Click got in some good work VII ms
left Jab and in close he used both hahus
Well Boorde tried for haymaker ana
sent over some long right swings that
had enough behind them to hurt, lie
also stabbed a left in occasionally that
finally Scared up Sidney's nose. The
fans would like TO see these Junior light
weights battle It out once more over the
ten round route.
Click complained of a bad right hand
before the scrap last night. He said
he received II in the Bridges bout. 1t
was noticeable that he did not use his
right as frequently as he did In the
Bridges affair

Of pep and 20 and willing mixer In
