Y. Byron Gets Duke
Over Billy Lancaster

In one of the star bouts of six
rounds presented by the Argonne
A.A. at Mechanics Building, Thurs
day night, Young Byron, 141, rugged
Colored welterweight of Roxbury, was
awarded the decision over Billy Ian
caster, 146, Colored battler of Port
land. This bout was one of the best
on the card, with both sepia batlers
sparkling with their m-bang type
of milling. Byron was the aggressor
throughout never giving the hard
punching Portland warrior a chance
to get set, scoring with a furry of
rights and lefts to the head Ian
caster scored at intervals with hard
rights to the head and body, but
Byron proved too clever for him on
the inside fighting. The Roxbury
scrapper staggered Lancaster with
right uppercuts to the chin in the fifth
and sixth frames, which were packed
with action.
In four-round bout on the same
card, Freddie Mclean, 100, Roxbury's
hard-socking amateur star making his
professional debut, got off to a good
start with a one punch, one round
kayo over Johnny Lawless, 1853, of
Portland.

cha, recognized in most states as the
worlds middleweight champion, the
bout which was scheduled to be fought
here Feb. %, was postponed to March
l, it was announced Monday. Both
battlers were in the process of putting
the finishing touches to their training
sessions when Garcia was found to
have boil on his right kneecap, and
Eddie Meade, Armstrong; pilot,
agreed to the postponement after a
personal examination. The promoters
feel that the delay will in no way hurt,
but rather swell the gate attendance.
The chances for kayo in the fight are
healthy, as Armstrong has registered
kayoes in 60 per cent of his bouts
while Garcia, with kicked bolo punch
has stopped So per cent of his oppon-
ents. The bout looms as hummer"
