Knocked down five times, twice
in one round. for counts from five
10 nine, but still on his feet when
the gong ended the tenth frame
Benny Kid Carter gave a wonder
full exhibition of courage at the
arena last night but took quite a
pasting from Battling Bullahan
while doing so, in the main event,
accompanied by howls of encourage
ment from the fans. Twice in the
eighth round hard rights and lefts
to the jaw put the Kid down, but
the Battler lost kayo decision each
time by not remaining in the corn
er to which he was sent by the refer
ee until the count was finished.
Bullahan gave one of his usual
shows, no boxing or science, but
continual boring in, never backing
up, shuffling about the ring ami
then jumping in when he thought
the right moment had arrived. He
may be rugged and all that, but
he certainly lacked the real punch
to finish matters for although he
had Carter wOozy and wobbly all
through the last half of the bout
and measured him time after time
for the kayo, he just couldn't get il
over and the Kid was able to re-.
main on his feet until the end.
Carter showed his skill and ring
craft often during the scrap and
needed every bit of it to keep Bulla-
han away from him. In the first
round, Benny was caught against
the ropes and it looked as if he were
going to get plenty then and there
but he fought his way out of danger
and started in on the Battler. Kid
is clever in covering up, and after
ne TOOK a mean one on the button
in the fourth round which put him
down for count of nine, he kept
that jaw well covered for the res.
OF the affair. Bullahan Just wore
him down and finally eliminated
him from the featherweight tourna.

arena.
The semi-windup had originally
been scheduled between Luis Ramos
and Pastor CalOpe, a sort of return
engagement, but when the fighters
stepped into the ring it was discov-
cred that the Pastor had evidently
been called elsewhere for his place
was taken by Madison Glover. The
boys showed some real slugging
while the affair lasted but in the
third session Glover went down and
stayed their while counted out. His
face was all bloody from bruised
nose and lips.
The boys seemed to have a lot of
trouble keeping their footing as
they slipped and siddded about with
both of them falling on the floor
twice. Once Glover missed a wild
and terrific right swing, spun around
and landed on the canvas. Ramos is
one tough baby and willing to swap
punches at any time. Glover too
showed that he packs a mean wallop
in his right mitt, but he couldn i
get it working last night and was
met by boy who had Just as much
dynamite as himself

the boys will be rematched soon.
Azevado, newcomer here. went

round when Harry clipped him on

fight the Brawley boy off his feet
and win the draw decision. They

use during the earlier sessions and
tried some long distance scrapping
