At the Stadium, La Barba, B.S£,_ secured a points decision over Willie smith, 8..10, a clover South African, who gave the American a willing go and was considered by the crowd to bo the winner, the referee's decision being hooted. An unintentional foul blow absolutely ruined the. Taylor-Singer fight at New York. An evenly-matched pair. Hud and A! swung lustily until in the fourth Taylor accidently floored Singer to the canvas in agony, leaving the referee no choice of decision. The two will pro babh be matched soon again. The better of I'hem is to meet Canzoreri in a featherweight semi-final elimination contest.
