BOXING
FOX AND GAMER IN DRAW AT
ARGONNE "A SHOW

ARUONISE A.A. ShOW
Promoter Eddie Mack, the busy
fistic Sergeant and his aid, Steve
Mahoney of the old boxing school,
ushered in stirring boxing show at
Mechanics Building last Tuesday
night. Following Sergeant Mack's
initial venture of penny-a-round box
ing, the boxing fans of this vicinity
are in for grand treat in the future
Argonne A.A. shows.
In the main event of ten rounds,
Tiger Jack Fox, of Spokane, Wash,
and Al Gamer of New Haven, fought
slashing draw. The bout was a
close one all the way, with both war
riors resorting to rough tactics. Fox,
with his cool, suave, and unorthodox
style of battling offered Gamer. who
IS no SLOUGH when it comes to the art
OF boxing, nip-and-tuck swish of
glove-slashing. The Tiger connected
with a vicious textbook to the mid
section on several occasions, and the
hard-punching Gamer spun the Spo-
kane veteran around at intervals with
a sharp right-hand smash that carried
an i'll touch. Both battlers struggled
for the decision in the tenth chapter,
with plenty of rough-hewn smuggling,
but the judges agreed to draw.
Byron drops duke
In one of the best bouts on the
star-studded program, Buster Carroll,
(white) 148, of Lowell, won a close
10-round decision over Young Byron,
139, clever Colored Roxbury welter-
weight. Byron fought his opponent
all over the ring, from the start and
held his bounding and plunging foe
at bay with singing left-jab. A
cut over his left eye, received in the
early stages, did not halt his fast style
of milling. Carroll caught Byron with
a number of Textbooks and right
swings, in the early cantos. Byron
soon learned his opponents style and
scored with right uppercuts. To say
the least, it was a dandy scrap. The
decision proved to be unpopular with
the fans, who felt that Byron should
have received the award.
Riley beats CapellO
In another Hereunder that carried
the flow of blood with it, Martin Riley,
sturdy Irish lightweight from Fall
River, pounded out a ten round deci-
sion over rugged Johnny Cabello,
Puerto Rican lightweight, who gave
Riley hard fight in every session.
Employing the use of left iab and
q right cross, he nailed Riley with the
latter punch in the third frame and
spun him around. Riley shook up
Cabello repeatedly in the eighth,
ninth and tenth cantos.
Lacey and COrmier battle to draw
Shocks Lacey, featherweight cham
pion of Connecticut, fought a draw
with Vernon Cormier, (white) veter-
an Worcester featherweight. Lacey
stung Cormier with lightning left |
hook to the body and chin. Cormier
seemed inclined to clinch and maui his
way through the battle. The last
three sessions were quite lively, with
both warriors punching rather freely. |
The judges ruled draw.
