There are said to be plenty of other
speakeasies in New Orleans, whose
owners aren't blind and haven't the

FERRARIS SHADES
BLOOM IN CRACK
BOUT Of EVENING
Columbus Lad Gives Soldier
Hard Fight, However,
Main Go Is Tame.

Fighting Ferraris, who really de-
serves that first handle to his name,
and Louie Bloom, a clever, cool little
fellow from Columbus, Ohio, gave the
fans the best bout at the Tonlinson
Hall boxing show Monday night.
The main go did not have a great
deal of class Hugh Ross Of Louis
vile was a big, awkward fellow, all
arms and legs, who never once swung
those long mitts with any force. He
was content to jab and then fall into
clinch.
Gill Smacks Colonel
His opponent, Johnny Gill Of York,
Pa, a veteran at the game, was far
too wise for Hugh, and although the
stocky Gill was far outreached by
the lanky Southerner, he smacked the
colonel" all around the ring.
However, Gill did not do any great
amount Of damage except in the fifth
round when he sent Ross to the can
vas just six seconds before the bell
rang Ross was getting up as the
round ended and so had a chance to
sit down and think it over for a
minute. He wasn't hurt much Gill
easily won all the way.
Ferraris deserved the shade in his
eight-round bout with Bloom, but 1t
was only a shade earned by his usual
aggressive tactics and windmill
swings. Bloom appeared slightly out
weighed, but put up a fine defensive
battle against the rushing methods of
the tough soldier battler.
Jab Bothers Ferraris
Bloom continually jabbed Ferraris
with left as the Ft. Thomas battler
rushed IN. The Buckeye lad was cool
throughout and the crowd gave him
the biggest hand of the evening as he
left the ring.
