as he talked OF future bouts. The
National Capital Sporting Club has
conna to washington to stay. You
ware there last night you saw
how orderly boxing shows can pc
conducted. It was q credit TO
washington and TO the members
az the club. Now we must look
ahead for other good entertain-
rnents. We do not intend putting
on Just any kind OF q card. put

ing boxers of the country. Pre-
linlinary boxers win be IN their
righfful places on our cards, never
in final bouts. ! honestly believe
washington win like our SHOWS
If the opening show y any criter-
Club should have many busy days
between now ana its next enter
fafnment. There IS plenty OF room
al the Auditorium for 5000 specta-
tors and, II that many lovers OF
high class boxing don't rush Tor
memberships before the next show,
some explanation viii be in order.
Professor Jimmy Lake, acting az
announcer. requested that the mem.
hers be as quiet as possible. He
ordered the seconds to be nOise-
lees and. 10. this amazing thing
happened. The fans sat in silence
- the shutting feet OF the boxers
could be heard distinctly. The
seconds were dumb, which - wei
nigh miracle.
The veteran Patrick r. O'Gon-
nor and Heinie Miller, sports edll-
Tor 81 The Washington Herald,
divided the officiating. It seemed
raffer mean Of the huge O'COn.t
nor to take the fIyWeights and
leave the heaVies for Miller but
the latter did good JOB Of 4.
Young Dencio, looking like q
child opposing q boy ran away
with fly, Farren. Dencio was In
much the better physical condition,
while Farren badly needed g hair
cut. his long locks continually TALL
ing into his eyes.
The first evidence Of utmost fair-
ness came in the second round OF
this bout, the first on the program.
Farren slipped to the floor in -
corner and the serious-Iooking Fili-
pino midget graciously stepped
hack. He was applauded.
Dencio forced the going al the
way. He landed right and left
hooks at viii, making Farren miss
time and time again. In the fifth
Farren bled. q little at the nose.
This increased as the bout went
on. Dencio landed often on that
aore proboscis. greatly to Farren's
Farren lacked Judgment Of dis.
tance ali the way. He played the
ropes 4 great deal, but it did him
no good. He usually ran into e
series of hooks to the body and
head. Both little fellows were
tired as the tenth round opened,
but they kept up their fast work
to the end. IT was Dencio,s bout
by wide margin.
Goldie Ahearn, . Washington
aorthpaW featherweight, shaded
louis GugIiminf, Of New York,
IN the second contest. It was
An even thing until the nnaI
rorIn1 when Ahearn, nettled BY
some punishment, tore into his
rival and established himself on
fIna long end. This bout sWas
quite the best Of the evening.
Ahearn had height and reach on
his rival, but the latter's crouching
style enabled him to take care OF
himself all the way. This write.
gave Ahearn the third. seventh,
eighth and tenth rounds, Guglimini
the second, sixth and NINTH with
the others even.
In the second round Guglimini
claimed a foul, but Referee Miller
refused to allow It. The blow dis.
puted was well above the belt and
bothered the boy not at all.
Both boxers did lot of swinging
and missing for the first five
rounds, but the sixth saw them
begin real action, the New York
boy leading and landing oftenest.
Ahearn walked up with the seventh
and rapidly caught up with his
rival. He used a right jab and 2
stiff left to the body. In the eighth
the referee warned Guglimint &C
keep 'em up" and in the ninth the
black haired lad evened the goine
by fast footwork and hard rights q
the head and face.
Ahearn took the edge In thI
tenth, landing repeatedly Will
straight rights and swinging thumpl
10 the mid riff. Both boys gave thu
best they had and were tired wheT
the bell sounded.
Charlie Potash, the Philadelphia
marine, crossed the dope by going
the distance with Wolf Larsen Of
Boston. Potash was In much the
