KIO Bii WP By YOUNG AZEVECa Headliner in Manhattan Show Proves Easy for Champ; Young Wins, Young Azevedo fought rings around Kid Eromeo last night at. the Manhattan club and earned the decision, which he got through beating Bromeo at his own game. Instead of Bromeo forcing the fighting and doing all of the fancy work, the kid from San Francisco was backing away the greater part of the time and holding on to Azevedo to escape punishment. punish-ment. Azevedo did not have a mark on him at the end of the fight, and Bromeo only hit him two solid punches during the six rounds. He beat Bromeo to the punch at all stages and outfought him in every round. The battle was one of the most interesting that has been staged at the Manhattan club in many weeks. Kid Bromeo started his old tactics tac-tics of trying to dance around the ring, but Young Azevedo was on top of him all the time, and in the fifth round had Bromeo groggy and would have put him to sleep but for Bromeo having the presence pres-ence of mind to hold on to Azevedo and protect himself. Soldier Bull Young defeated Kid Mack In a four-round bout and had him. all but out when the gong sounded at the end of the fourth. In the beginning of the fight Kid Mack hit soldier Young a number num-ber of hard cracks in the mid -sect ion, but the soldier kept fighting all the time, with the result that a few well-directed smashes to the jaw made Kid Ma-ck seek protection. The soldier beat Kid Mack a mile in the last two rounds of the fight. The fact, that Soldier Young kept on top of his man all the time and was willing to swap punches at any time made too much work for Kid Mack. Battling Midkiff got the win over Young Andres of the Twentieth infantry in the second round of a four-round bout. Young Andres did not fight as he has on former occasions at the club, and almost spiked himself sliding into his own corner cor-ner on a number of occasions. In the second round he claimed that Midkiff hit him low and sat on the floor while Hardy Downing counted him out. Kid Howe, a soldier from Fort Douglas with a terrific wallop in his left hand, hit : Danny O'Brien, who substituted for Jess i Oren, on the jaw in the second round of j their four-round bout and put Danny out cold for the count of nine. By ring generalship gen-eralship Danny managed to hang on ; through the round and came hack in the i next two rounds and fought such a good fight that he was given a draw. Howe !ls a fairly good fighter, hut needs more j science. He outweighed Danny about fif-I fif-I teen pounds. j Kid Slater substituted for Lew Dillon land got a draw with Swede Johnson. The I fight was laughable in many respects, j Both fighters swung so hard that- when l they missed they fell down.
