TAYLOR SIOPS HENKE IN 7TH

Frankle Henke of Milwaukee, substituting for the kidnapped Stanley Everett, was no match at all for the peppery Bud Taylor in the wind up on the Commodore last night. Frankle lost, sitting down, and help less In the seventh round, the ten count and the sponge from his corner coming at about the same time. Henke was very frail of build and hardly looked as though he would last two rounds. But he stuck along gamely on boxing fkill, coolness and gameness until he collapsed. Taylor was wild and missed much.
