right into Johnson ' s lap. In the middle of the second round, during a free-swinging exchange, Berry went down from su haymaker but it is to his credit that he arose again as soon as he was able. However, all the fight had been knocked out of him and he finished off very tamely. Johnson ' s next fight was against Putnam in what proved to be the final. This was a very close fight and had to be decided on a fourth round. Both fighters tired badly in the final round but Johnson got in the more telling blows and received the verdict. HEAVYWEIGHT There were only two entries in this weight and, as Butt was not present when he was drawn to fight, Flint became the winner by default.

boxed extremely well and showed a commendable amount of skill. Their defences were particularly sound and a punch which broke through the other ' s guard had to be quick as lightning. Kingscote was awarded the very close decision by the judges, Mr. R. Ross and Mr. Rocky Br ooks. FEATHERWEIGHT (under 125 lbs.) Both Kingscote and Wilson 2 were entered in this weight as well and turned out to be the only two capable of giving Antles, the eventual winner, any bother at all. When Wilson 2 fought Antles, it was his second fight, and strenuous too, of the afternoon, so he must be excused for not having the energy to come out for the third round after putting up a very plucky display against a much stronger boy. In the finals, Kingscote had Antles worried often during their bout but Antles ' age and weight told in the end and he won handily. In an earlier fight, Rohrback is worthy of mention for the way in which he kept after Kingscote, showing that what he lacked in skill he made up for in determination. LIGHTWEIGHT (under 135 lbs.) There were many good bouts in this weight with the outcome often in doubt until the last blow had been delivered. Wilson 1 had an easier passage into the finals than did his opponent Loughary, and he certainly showed that he had plenty of skill in easily outpointing his first three opponents. Loughary received an early shock when he barely managed to outpoint Osvold who surprised everyone by his skill and quickness. Had Osvold had more than just a term ' s coaching he might well have won. However, Loughary was soon back in stride once more with an easy victory over Hagstrom who had been very fortunate in receiving the decision against Hamilton in an earlier fight. Wilson 1 boxed beautifully in the finals against Loughary who must have known at the final bell that he was a beaten fighter. WELTERWEIGHT (under 147 lbs.) This weight was easily won by Johnson but, in his fights, he did little to give anyone the impression that he could box. He was content for the most part to beat up his opponent in the shortest possible time. He experienced little opposition and when he did meet any at all, he was unnecessarily vicious in his tactics. His only real opposition came from Bayly who started out like a tornado for the first round and finished up the second and third rounds like a gentle zephyr. MIDDLEWEIGHT (under 160 lbs.) Burr, last year ' s winner in this weight, was unable to box in the finals and so, his opponent Johnson received a walk-over. Wray pleased everyone mightily when he managed to get in a few healthy whacks at Johnson before the latter caught up with him and wore him down. Berry, Johnson ' s next opponent, let all thoughts of science go to the winds and concentrated on being as wild as possible, thereby playing 25
