TAYLOR WINS BY K. 0. AFTER HARD GO WITH JEROME Bud Puts Opponent Out In Final Round Hoosier Lad Is Praised, By United Vet cs NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—Bud Taylor of Terre Haute. Ind., a golden bantam with a mouth like the entrance to one of the coal mines in his native territory, gave Frankie Jerome a thorough whipping In the twelve-rounder that prepared the guests for the main event between Mandell and Brenstein at Madison Square Garden Friday night. For the first six rounds the yellowhaired juvenile from Indiana slammed Jerome with fierce, well-measured shots at the chin and wishbone and had the New York boy legging it from comer to comer. Jerome Weak in Sixth Taylor had Jerome very sick on the ropes in the sixth round, but in his earnest desire to make good he muffed, ending the scrap then and there. The fight was a reminder of the great bantam hurricane between Joe Lynch and Jack Sharkey in the early days of the rebirth of the fight business in the East, four years ago. Taylor couldn’t keep up the pace and Jerome came at him from tho seventh to the finish. In the eleventh a few seconds before the bell, Taylor sent Jerome rolling over with a right smash on the jaw. Jerome groped along the ropes, stupid and weak and covered with the gray dust of the Yesln as the bell rang. Bud Hits Hard In round twelve Taylor sent Jerome’s head down with a straight right. As the Gotham youth sagged forward, Taylor smashed him with sickening thumps to his uncovered left flank. Jerome’s side twitched and quivered from the first blow that sank into his withering side. A second right hand struck there and a third and at last a seventh. Then the kid toppled. Jerome was on his feet before "ten,” but the referee caught him in his arms and waved off the charging attack of the light-haired terror from the Middle West. Jerome was so badly hurt that his manager picked up the beaten little armful of knees and elbows and carried him to the dressing room, covered by a towel.
