 The official scorecard read as fol- lows
 Round ....... 56 8-Tst BeaHo .......55 5 5- 39 Compo 5......# 5 4 5 3 5- B
 The verdict for the visitor came as no little surprise to the assembled ringWorms. for Compo was a 3. 10 favorite in the betting mart and considered pretty generally to take the duke last night But Beato crossed lip the talent by a long range offensive that had Eddies head bobbing back on numerous oe- easions, thus ofTsetting Compo's fine infighting, where the local lad de- finitely had the edge.
 Good Bout
 Compo carried the fight to his op- ponent practically the entire dis tanee but Be&to even with his re- treating tactics, made fight of 1t all the way. jolting Eddie repeatedly with left hooks to the head Despite the many blows landed neither boy was in difficulty at any time during the: scrap, which was contrary to the previous engagement when Beato was on the deck on two oc- casions.
 The go started rather tamely and the first three heats there was not too much action. Things started to speed up in the fourth, especially on Beatos part, and the last half of the bout was a carbon copy of the initial fracas.
 Opinions varied somewhat among the customers as to who was the winner but there was no great pro test when Referee Kaplan raised Beat0's hand in token of victory.
 The weights were PA for Beato. I25 for Compo.
