In the feature contest of the even
ling, the bout in which the junior
! lightweight champion of New Jersey
was at stake, Charley Ryder, of Eli
zabeth and Staten Island, kayoed
Patsy Nelson, of Newark. The
Newarker held the title up to the
time of his defeat at the hands of the
great s~outhpaw battler.
From the start, the titleholder
Weighing in at 128, fought the hard
hitting southpaw, the same weight,
wrong. Ryder slugs with the best
OF them, and there was little chance
of Nelson beating him at his own
game. The two boxers landed often
in the opening canto, but it was plain
that Ryder could take and give the
greatest amount Of punishment.
There was little to choose as a result
of h mixup in the opening round.
In the second round, Nelson fought
at a terrific pace, a pace boxing
fans knew he could not continue for
eight rounds Ryder fought back
all the time, n for the second
round honors were again even. Mel
son was warned throughout the
round for hitting after the break.
During the first minute of the
third round, the two boys fought at
a farrifF naOa and flor n nvaha 90
at close range Nelson went down for
the count. After the referee had
completed the count, he got up to
dispute the claim of the official but
it was all over.
IL Nelson went down from punish
ment received from Ryder, it was the
body blows landed by the great
southpaw, that ended the bout.
After the count had been completed,
Ryder was raised to the shoulders of
his admirers and carried from the
ring.
Favor Beaten
Boxing fans of this section never
have and never will witness a better
exhibition of gameness than was
given by Memo Favor, of Plainfield,
in the eight round semi final en-
counter. Favor, formerly of Texas,

pounds lighter than his opponent,
Lew Seller of Newark, and for al
most eight rounds took everything
that the Essex county w~elterweight
could hand out.
In the first round the two battlers
exchanged blows at close range and
There was little to choose between
Eefvnr. <Selzer worked his two hands
to perfection In the second canto,
and although Favor fought back, he
was unable to tovercome the points
piled up by Selzefx Seller had the
better of the exchaiNSe in the third
and fourth round, ans in the fifth
after a sensational exchange in
which the Newarker featured, Favor
went to his corner somewhat groggy.
Favor took a count of four early
In the seventh, after making a good
showing In the sixth. He managed
to- stave off the Newarker's attack
for the balance of the seventh round.
In the eighth, he went down for
a count of nine, then seven, after
which Referee Joe McNulty stopped
the bout. Sellers last attack was
at close range. Both boxers were
given a big hand as they left the
ring.
Manning Great
81
Joe Manning, Elizabeth feather
weight, a newphew of Mickey Walk
err, welterweight champion of the
world, was dubbed Fighting Joe
Manning as a result Of his sensa-
tional bout with Sammy Donley, of
Newark, the feature six round con-
test of the evening. Manning
weighed 1881 and his opponent
tipped the scales at 1875.
The new Betsytown sensation
showed the fans that he is DESTROYS
of fighting every minute of the
time that he is in the ring, and
early in the fight Donley showed
that he did not like this practice.
At close range, long distance and
when his opponent desired to hold,
Manning kept fighting and these
traits won the first round for him.
The referee warned Donley often in
the second round, regarding hitting
on the break and in this stanza,
Manning again showed his ever will
ingness to fight.
During the remaining four rounds
Of the bout Manning forced the fight
ing and landed often with rights
and lefts to the body and head.
Several times the only way Donley
could stop Manning's attacks, was
TO hold his gloves.
Lewis Kayoed
There was one sad feature about
the card last night, the loss sustained
by Billy Lewis, of Westfield, in the
opening six rounder with Joe jack
son, of Newark. Jackson won by a
technical knockout. Lewis weighed
112 and his opponent was the same
