John Williams, of Jamaica, earned
an easy decision over Ted Harrison,
of Harlem, in'nve rounds. In the
second, Dick Campbell, of Harlem
landed a haymaker on Sam
Brown's chin after one minute'and
24 seconds in the fourth round. It
was the 160-pound encounter.
A knockout after a minute and
31 seconds in the second round,
quickly terminated the heavyweight
event, Lloyd Sage, of Brooklyn,
disposing of Bill Meister, of St.
Albans in that,time.
Then came the Murhy - Wilson
'quickie,;' followed by the 147-
pound event in which John Leta,
of Harlem, put William Patterson,
of Brooklyn, to sleep with a terrific
wallop after 61 seconds of pummel-ng
in the fourth round.
After so much hard hitting, the
sixtn event, a fine exhibition of
boxing skill, proved a relief to tjje
fans. This was the 130-pound bout
between James Quinn. of Hunting-ton,
and James Hanrahan. of Har-lem,
with the former getting the
unanimous decision of the Judges.
In the 165-pound bout, Arthur
Skinner, of Harlem, scored a close
decision over Pat Lynch, of St.
Albans. The final set-to, the 155-
pounder, brought together Bobby
Dawson, of New York, the 1947
championship holder, and Rudy
Simmons of the West Side. Daw-son
easily outpointed his opponent
in an interesting match.
The card was approved by the
Metropolitan A. A. U. Association.
