fight fans believed that the worst
Unknown Winston of Holyoke
should have received was draw
decision in his eight round bout
with Eddie Hogan OF waterbury
last night at Lakewood Arena,
all OF them admitted
surprise that the local heavyweight
was able to Withstand the savage
assaults Of the veteran negro SO
well in the hardest fight of his
career. Personally, the writer's
score and that Of Referee Billy
Taylor of Hartford were identical,
81 to 36 for Hogan though the
scoring of the individual rounds
differed. William p. O'Donnell,
sports editor of the Republican
figured Winston as the winner by a
very close margin, while Chick
Kelley, sports editor of the Ameri-
can, scored an absolutely even.

could hardly believe their eyes
when the waterbury boy nailed

heat, after becoming temporarily

bout, though scheduled for eight
rounds. At this instant, Winston
took panther-like advantage Of
the mental lapse as Hogan talked
to the referee and let fly wide
left hook which found its mark,
following up with a series of body
shots that made Hogan hold on.
Hogan Best Puncher
Il was a savage fight and sur.
prisingly good from start to finish
considering Winston's supposed SUI
periority. The referee gave Hogan
the one point edge on the strength
Of cleaner and more effective hit
ting, and that Just about told the
story, plus the fact that Winston
was penalized for holding through
out most Of the battle. Referee
Taylor gave Hogan the fourth,
fifth. sixth and seventh rounds.
Winston the first, second and ninth
and called the third even.
The writer scored the third,
fourth, sixth and seventh for Ho-
gan, with Winston taking the first,
fifth and eighth with the second
round even.
Hogan's next bout will possibly
find Ford Smith, the new heavy
weight sensation from the middle
west as his opponent at the Coney
Island Stadium. He will return to
New York Sunday to prepare for
the battle. Winston, by the way, IL
admittedly one Of the hardest men
to hit in heavyweight competition,
due to his peculiar crouch and
weaving style which accounts
for his good showings against men
rated much higher than he within
the ranks Of the big boys. Last
nights weights were: Hogan 21S,
Winston 1876.
