Show mi mii at SALT LAKE W Eddie White and Pat Gilbert Fight to a Draw Other Bouts Excellent. SALT -LAKE. Jan. IS. Any wool-grower wool-grower who missed last night's special Manhattan club bouts arranged by Hardy Downing and Tom Painter has reason to regret it, if he listens to what the fellows who were there have to sav. From start to finish the sheepmen never had such a dish handed them before. The sensation of the evening was the Bull Young-Bobbie Munger bout, and to say the very least, the latter has the appearance of a comer if he can keep up the clip ho set last night. Bull, who has met them all at his weight and has either beaten them or goten the decision, met his Waterloo when Bob slammed him down for the count with a right uppercut to the jaw. Bull showed the Garfield boy a lot of gloves in the first round but Bobbie kept plugging in and landed some effective ef-fective wallops. In the second Bull kept setting the pace but just before the bell rang Munger slipped in a right uppercut to the jaw that sent the soldier sol-dier down on tho floor with a bang. Up In an instant, the khaki wearer ; rushed and the gong stopped hostilities. Bull came oui wun a Dang in ine third and practically throughout the round hit Bobbie at will but failed to make any impression.' Just to show that he was in the running, though, the smelter boy would occasionally get in heavy body blows. When the fourth canto started Bull again came in fast but in a few seconds Bobbie brought one up to the Sammy's chin and Bull went down and under the ropes, coming up at the count, of seven. In a moment Munger placed another in the same spot and it was just one to ten, with Bull still out when he was carried to his corner. The real battle of the evening was the six-lap affairs between Charlie Midklff and Kid Howe, the Fort Douglas middleweight. Charlie had the better of the greater part of the In-fighting, thought at times the Sammy got in some good close work himself, but the khaki wearer's strong forte was his mighty swings. Time and again he landed trip-hammer blows to the Battler's jaw without effect. ef-fect. At the close of the third canto Charlie "was slightly groggy. In the fourth Charlie evened matter up by scoring a knock-down but the Kid came up with a bounce and fought the sprinting Battler to a standstill; in fact, at the gong Charlie was hanging on and was pleased to hear the bell's tinkle. During the fifth they stood head to bead and swapped wallops that would have made a blacksmith envious, but neither weakened. As usual, at tho bell tap for the final round Howe came out with his usual rush, meeting Charlie close to his corner. cor-ner. They immediately mixed, and in he going both went through the ropes. vVhen the carnage was over it was another an-other draw and no one kicked at the decision, either. The billed headliner between Eddie White and Pat Gilbert was a good bout but after what had taken place before it appeared rather slow to the spectators. specta-tors. Eddie spent most of the past week on a train getting him through the snowdrifts between Detroit and our own snow-mantled city, and was not in the best of condition. Even at that he showed Pat a lot about boxing, box-ing, and blocking as well. The bout went to a draw. Jess Oren decisioned Ogden Davis in a mighty pretty scrap. Jess was his old-time self and. met tho Ogden iron man with enough jabs and right crosses to stop anything but a man of his vitality. The first scrap, between Kid Bradford Brad-ford and Kid Bruno, went to the former. for-mer. Neither showed anything but a I gift to absorb punishment. I |
