80 Ia pounds Of Laredo. ably
demonstrated that his previous de-
cision over Dick Wym0re, l26
pounds Of Ia Feria, was no fluke.
He floored the Valley leather
singer in both the fourth and
tenth rounds but the miniature
bulldog was up at the count OF nine
in both instances.
At the opening gong. Wymore
rushed out aGgressively hammering
away with both hands as the La
redoan danced away, sharpShooting
with his left for Wymore's bad
eye. wymore's mad rushes Melted
him little more than swishing
swings at the atmosphre for Shaw
danced away each time.
Shaw's steady left handed peck
Ing did its work In the third round,
opening the old cut yer Wymore's
left eye. This seemed 10 infuriate
Dick and he redoubled his efforts
to sink a solid blow into his oppon-
ent's body. Shaw slipped and fell
from the ring but was uniniured.
The Laredoan clipped Wymore a
solid blow In the fourth round that
sent him to the canvas. He could
have gotten up at four but stayed
down, taking the full benefit OF the
rest. Shaw rushed him the re-
mainder Of the round. The Valley
battler seemed a bit revived In the
fifth and Shaw appeared content
to pile up points by sharpshooting
with his left. He still concen-
trated on the weak optic.
Little Effect
Wymore's rushes were gaining
him little. When he hit his oppon-
emit ne was usually going back
wards. The crowd was highly par
tisan-some cheering Dick for his
rameness and others openly admir-
ing Shaw's educated left mitt that
seemed able to do everything but
land a K o.
Both fell down accidentally in
the ninth round.
In the final stanZa. Shaw herued
Wymore up IN a corner and pum-
meied him. When Dick attempted
10 come out, the Laredoan clipped
him a solid smash that sent him
SPRAYING in the center of the ring.
The crowd was In a Wild furore
as wymore groggily got on BITS
hands and knees at five. Friends
were pleading with hi INTO get up
and stick It out-only one more
minute. Shaw was at him as soon
as he got 10 his feet at the court
OF nine. The bell found him
pounding Dick In the ropes.

draw. Goodman pulled one of the
prittiest feats Of the evening Just
by climbing in the ring. for he had
a new cut with three stitches in 1t
over his left eye. This would have
kent almost anyone out Of the ring
but Goodman insisted in going on
with the fight.
Heavy Punching
Soils was not as polished a boxer
as Goodman but he carried a wal
