J wtien he was mingling with Billy I'apke and such like.

But the fresh youngster In front of him was a flash on his feet with that piston-rod left. Hugo tried every way he knew to work that dangerous right uppercut of his, but McGoorty's glove was always In the way. Hugo did not land six clean, hard punches in the ten rounds. This showed McGoorty's defense was good; also that Kelly's offense was but a semblance of what it had been.

But for the most part lie simply kept it poised in front of his face. Eddie's left is a corker all right. He hooks with it all the time, seldom shooting It straight. It carries plenty of sting, but it would take a rain ,of them in the same spot to seriously damage a tough fellow. Eddie's feinting was superb, his foot work good, but he seemed to lack the old round-

Kenosha, Wis.. March 21. Eddie McGeorty, fine middleweight, trimmed the shell of Hugo Kelly for ten rounds last night. He won a mile on points, but to his shame it may be said that he didn't score a knockout. By his victory he earned the right to box the Klaus-Dillon winner of next Monday for the 15S- . pound championship, but if he shows no more In the way of a punch that he exhibited against the Italian, he'll have

It was a bad fight for two such clever fellows to furnish for 2,000 -fans who braved the worst snowstorm of the winter to see the middleweight elimination battle. A little trickle of blood from Kelly's nose early in the fight, another om his mouth later on were the only signs of punishment for the half hour's work. The Oshkosh Irishman really won the scramble with one hand, the left. His

Since Jack Croak, a former Hammond boy, gained a draw in his' six-round go with Kid Andrews at Buffalo, N.-T., last week, h is today the most popular boxer in that, man's town because he put up such a game battle under such a serious handicap. Croak had not boxed a half minute when Andrews fouled him on tile breakaway. Not satisfied with that Andrews whipped the heel of his glove across Croak's eye, cutting the lid from one side to the other. In this condition Croak fought until the fifth round, when the flow of blood was stopped. Behind in the fourth round because of injuries. Croak started in with the gong in the fifth and tore into his opponent like a wildcat. He ripped, slashed,

several times with a straight left to the face and a right uppercut, while Morris worked his right whenever they came to close quarters. In the eighth Stewart sent three straight lefts, one to the. body and two to the face. Morris was still working an inside right. Stewart got to Morris' bad eye with two straight lefts. Morris opened the ninth with a right to the body and left to the face, but Stewart tent a short harrl right cross to

Judges called It a draw. The ovation that Croak received when he left the ring will never be forgotten by the Hammond boy. as it was the biggert reception that a boxer ever got in Buffalo. " Amid a tremendous uproar the fans lifted him high in the air and carried htm to his quarters, where, if he had wanted, he could have had anything he desired In Buffalo. Th fight went six rounds and was for a side bet of $200. ' The two men will get together again in the near future, when they will be matched to go ten rounds.

Gans used to say. Emil Thlry told the truth after the fight whon he said Kelly and Feretti made a mistake in making the weighing hour later than 3 o'clock. Then, to make it worse, Kelly pulled himself down two pounds under 158, and he was so weak and lean Just for that reason that he could not take a stiff punch. The only knockdown came In the

Albany, March 21. The republicans

in the assembly played a little politics today by repealing the Frawley boxing law. The governor had recommended this action, but the democratic assemblymen opposed the .repeal, while the republicans posed as holdng up the hands of the governor. There was a sharp debate on the floor before the passage of the bill, which received only the constitutional seventy-six votes. "The republican party has already driven out of the state every popular sport," said Assemblyman Hyman of Brooklyn, "and now it is trying to kill boxing. You people seem to want to send the money to other states." "The law will bring to the state treasury $30,000 In the first year of Us operation," said Assemblman "Marty" McCue.

A thlo tic club last night. In a slashing

ten-round bout against "Jim" Stewart of Brooklyn the Oklahoma giant took a sound drubbing, failing to earn a single round in his favr. Stewart car-! ried the pace to his heavier opponent from start to finish and at times made the "western man look foolish In his attempts to land. 1 Despite the punishment Carl appear-

ed to be just as strong at the final bell as at the start and It might be added her just as Impossible as a "white hope." Morris took the cleanest kind of wallops without turning a hair. The heavier the blows came the more life the western giant showed. But even at his liveliest Morris in comparison to Stewart was like a tortoise compared to a rabbit in speed. There was no snap, no jarring effect in Morris' punches. All his training since his arrival in this city seems to have done nothing in the way of remedying his greatest fault. His blow is merely a cuff. . In the sixth round Stewart started Morris' right eye bleeding with a straight left jab. He followed with a right hook to the jaw which sent Morris sprawling to his hands and knees. He was uc immediately. During the seventh Stewart scored

came back, and In the next two InHgngs made Dobb's lads look like pikers. .It was a light hitting ntertalnment, each side gathering four clean blows, but the Cubbers failed to bunch their knocks as did the Blllikens. Up to the sixth, Nagle's maiden session, the locals were unable to even stir up a fuss.
