Show I JIMMY JOHNS WHIPS AHWaOD I Red Newey Outfights Califor-I Califor-I nian Davis of Ogden Draws With Williams. I SALT LAKE, March 27. Fipht fans I v:cro treated well last night at the I weekly exhibition under the auspices I of the Manhattan club, held at th I Grand theatre They witnessed about I everything that could be expected In I the way of exhibitions and in every in- I stance but one the decisions were well received. A'lanre majority of the spectators spec-tators thought Ous Williams, in his bout with Kid Davis of Ogden. had won K by a mile, but Hardy Downing thought j I otherwise and called it a draw. I The star bout was 'a feast for the 1 gdds." Jimmy Johns of Ogden and Harry Ait wood of- Los Angeli went six rounds in a fast exhibition. As a fancy dancer, Freddie Welsh, the champion, has nothing on Atlwood. He danc '1 in and around Johns until the latter wished he, too, could two-step and fox trot, but that is ;bout all Att-wood Att-wood did, and on occasions when he missed his step Johns planted some "haymakers" which somewhat ensed up the acceleration of one At t wood. Many calls were mfde for Eddie Eitz-patrick. Eitz-patrick. who waa present, to produce his violin, .so that Aftvrobd could keep better time. Of course, Johns received I thp decision. I Now, as to the Winiams-Davls bout. Williams, a little careful at first, prob-,ably prob-,ably owing to the fact that on his last appearance he held converse with the stars, beat a merry tatoo on Davis" I dining room, which brought forward j many a grunt. Davis was wild, Williams Wil-liams cool and careful, clever and always al-ways there with the shock producer. Davis rallied a bit in the last round, I 'but at that Williams held him safe.' j Deafy Taylor, short and willing, tackled tack-led Slim Kearns, long and awkward. ! for four rounds. Deafy was always trying, but the old left hand of the slim one seemed to find delight in flattening his nose. Deafy tried for every part of the slim one's anatomy, ,wlth only mediocre success owing to that ever-present left Slim received the decision, but also a good lacing as well. Red Newey of Ogden outweighed, outboxed and outfought "ddie Head, a California product. T'e 'Mffair" lasted last-ed less than a round, when the one with the emblazoned hirsute appendage append-age evidently tired of fiddling and j f landed one (and only one was needed) on Eddie's chin, and then the ;ttle birds sang sweetly for the California boy. The curtain-raiser was a brief affair : f which lasted three rounds. Kid Blackie poked one into the visage of Kid Thompson and then everyone pres-j ent got readv for the second bout. : WANT TO CONTINUE POLO. DESPITE WAR NEW YORK. March 26. In a letter I addressed to William A. Hazard, secre-' tary of the Polo association, H. L. Her- bert, chairman of the association, advocates ad-vocates the continuance of polo tour-1 naments in the event of war with Germany. Ger-many. "Players over and under military I age," says Mr. Herbert, "should be en-couraged en-couraged to keep polo going, which will afford our soldiers a useful recre-atlpn recre-atlpn when opportunity offers and at I the same time keep up the spirits of; the 'stay at homes.' The horse, too, will be kept fit for an emergency call. Where gate money is charged at any of the tournaments it should be urged that the proceeds be applied to some form of war relief in case of need." |
