TUNEUP ON 18TH
The same Diamond, who labelled
Washington a whistle stop on the
boxing circuit, will show Abrams
at his West New York, N. j.,
club a week previous, the 10th of
May. Diamond is promoting
fights there and will use George
on his opening card. Lou was in
town last night to watch Abrams
and was supposed to be sufficient
ly impressed by the local boys
performance to have offered to
buy 10 per cent of the local boys
contract from sgd Fishel.
Abrams must be valuable prop
erty because George Jessel. the
stage comedian, also appeared at
the arena last night. However
after watching Abrams. Jessel
probably must have demanded
two pairs of pants with his pur-
chase. The report had it that the
actor wanted to "buy in" on our
George and take him out to Holly
wood.
The local battler was hardly in
his best form against O'Boyne last
night. George came in at 1912
the heaviest he has ever weighed
for a fight in his career. He
wouldn't say the extra four or five
pounds over his usual weight
slowed him up, but Abrams looked
very sluggish in there at times.
GEORGE HIT HARD
O'Boyne was a tough puzzle to
solve. He loked as wide open as
a nanny singers arms but every
time George tried to drive a punch
through. O'Boyne miraculously
stuck up a mo parking" sign
which, in case we're too involved,
means his gloves. Abrams went
into the ring as high as 10-1 IA
vorite and the gamblers almost
went for a ride in the second
round. In that session Jimmy shot
whistling right hand right to
Georges chin and for one fear
full moment it appeared there was
going to be a repetition of the
Jimmy Jones knockout.
But Abrams must have uphol-
stored his chin with cement be-
cause he "fell in" quickly and held
on until the bubbles" as he de-
scribed 1t later, disappeared.
O'Boyne was penalized for low
blows in both the third and
seventh rounds. George COM
planned Jimmy was throwing his
pitches into the dugout but he
didn't get any sympathy from'the
crowd which uttered a melliflous
boo.
