Show EASTERN BOXERS FAIL OUT WEST (By Tad.) New York, July 25. Our eastern wonders in tho slam line don't seem to ha-ve any luck, in the west. Joe. Coster, who went west Intending to clean up everything in sight, was flopped flop-ped in 13 rounds by Joo Rivers. AVe set hopes on Patsy Kline of Newark In Saturday's go, but Patsy lost 'in 20 rounds, Johnny Kllbano being handed the decision. There was Young Sammy Smith, who was quite a success around here. He lost out there to an "unknown Johnny McCarthy. Leach Cross, our East Side terror, went west, and after af-ter 40 or so rounds sat down in the middle of tho ring, while Dick Hyland stood over him and listened to tho fatal ten. Wonder when they're going to get a regular fighter here who will go out and make good? Dick Hyland ran secopd quite pften whon he arrived here: One-Round Hogan blew up In his second mill; Low Powell didn't get off on the right foot; Frankio Smith blow the same way, and Johnny Frayue just barely got away with It. It seems that the hoys aro all right at homo, but the minute they blow the old llrcsldc they blow their ability, too. rn I |
