WINNER over DOYLE.
Il
Outpoints Rival in 10 Rounds
Bogash Defeats Cans

New York, Aug. 2. - Dave shade
California welterweight, easily gained
n victory over Paul Doyle OF the east
side last night in the principal 10
lround bout at the New York Vela-
idrome. Forcing the fighting from the
lfirst to the last round. Shade gained
the decision of Judges Charles F.
Mathison and L. G. Becker and that
of Referee Patsy Haley, after ain ordi-
nary encounter. A crowd OF 1851
persons paid gross sum of S2l,243
to witness this and four other bouts
in the Kingsbridge arena.
Compared to some of the battles
that have been furnished at local
clubs lately, last nights principal bout
was listless affair indeed. 1t lacked
spectacular features and held few ex-
citing moments. Doyle fought in
disappointing manner. He was on the
defensive almost continually In the
second session, however, Doyle loosen
ed up bit and outboxed his rival,
and in the fifth round the east slider
decided to discard his careful defense
for a few spirited exchanges in which
he held Shade even. .H
For the remainder of the bout, how
ever, Shade pressed the attack with
out variation of without danger of
having the lead taken from him as he
forced Doyle about the ring under a
shower of left hooks and left jabs to
the face and rights to the body and
head.
Shades speed and rapid attack had
his rival in a quandary, SO that Doyle,
in the few instances in which he es-
sayed offensive action was woefully
inaccurate with his punches. Shade
weighed LAG IA pounds and Doyle
141A.
b Lou Bogash, Bridgeport middle
weight, gained the decision over Pan
anna Joe Cans in the semi final bout
of 10 rounds. This was a tiresome
affair, in which the principals stood
1atfooted most of the time and rip
exchanges, which became SO frequent |
that they grew monotonous. Bogash |
landed the cleaner and heavier blows |
and he landed more often than did |
Cans. The latter was made to miss |
most of his punches Bogash weigh |
ed 161 pounds and Cans 1521s. 4
Johnny Clinton, East side light |
weight, carried off the decision over
Johnny Mendelsohn of Milwaukee, in
the first of the ten-round battles The
battle was spirited and provided
plenty of excitement for the small
crowd. Clinton floored Mendelsohna
In the first round with right to the |
jaw, but went down himself under the
force of Memberships right to the jaw
In the second. In the third the pair
hammered each other Justify, but
from the fourth round to the final
bell, Clinton had the better of the
milling and clearly earned the decis-
ion. Clinton, at 139% pounds, was
one quarter of a pound heavier than
the Milwaukee boxer.
AL Norton, the Yonkers welter-
weight, knocked out Eddie Burnbrools,
Maryland boxer, in the last round of
the six-round preliminary. A right to
the jaw, l minute and % seconds
after the start of the sixth round,
Burnbrook on the canvas.
Burnbrook appeared a sure winner in
the early rounds. He floored Norton
three times in the first round and
once in the third, but Norton was
game and returned to the milling
with unfailing courage each time he
regained his feet.
In the four-round preliminary Tom
my Golson and Johnny Mastraino,
bantamweights, boxed a draw.
