IN AMATEUR BOUTS
Soldier Boxers Do Not Do Well
i'm Preliminary Junior Cham
pionships in Garden.
BY CHARLES F. MATHIsoN.


Following the example of the PRO-
fessionals, the amateur boxing officials
established a set of national junior
championships. and the preliminary
bouts were fought last night in Madison
Square Gafden. The crowd was not
large. but it was appreciative, the con-
tests being excellent
Knockouts were frequent, and the on
lockers constantly applauded the good
work. Eighty-six boxers were entered
and the elimination battles followed
each other I'm quick succession.
Jack Holden. the 11S poupder of the
Willow A. c., who stopped Johnny
Nagle of Brooklyn in the first round,
showed remarkable hitting power. He
shot both hands straight and hard and
his right for the body was impressive.
Holden did not box like amateurs, who
usually indulge In wild swings.
Solder boxers did not do very well.
The first soldier boy to swing into action
was Private MinniclS Of Camp Holabird.
and he was routed by a Bostonian
named Frank Scire. The contest was a
close one for three rounds and the ref
cree ordered an extra session. Scire
scored a knockdown in this round and
got the verdict.
