NEW YORK, March 18—Well, they had a finc St. Patrick’s day ¥ his blood was either in line or on the 5th avenue curb line. then, begob, just as every one was going to wind up the day with a f"" telebration over the return of the middleweight championship to the rish tace, why Mike O'Dowd, he goes and gets whipped by Johnny Wil- sqd, the wop titleholder, at Madison Square Garden. hat do ye think about that? 0'Dowd All Dressed Up. looked like a broth of a boy entered the ring.

When he took that oft avery one yelled to see the bright Rreen trunks he sported. And at the Mike's body was streaked with 0 were his green trunks, the result of blood flowing from a cut forehead and a out under the eve. ‘Wilson Is Clear Winner. Wilson got the decision and he earned it. It is difoult to see why there should have been a division of opinfon among the judges. The ma- jority of the house appiauded the re eree’s decision. giving the fight to the champion. Wilson's plan of battle was to let O'Dowd come to him throughout the battle, and Mike, who never was unwilling to come to any- body, waded in and filled the air with his wallope. The champion was very clever de- Yensively and it was soon clear to all that all of O'Dowd’s blows that land- ed were not going to bother him It was clear, too, that sooner whan' dy and an occasional «ight to the head were going to pile up for him a majority of the points. her had a knockout concealed in is gloves. Only O'Dowd’s fine condition ena- bled him to go the limit. As it was he was gasping between rounds in the latter part of the fight as a result of the stomach punches he was gatting. Some of Wilson's Mg&:nehu were close to the belt and O'Dowd protest- ed about them to the referee all through the fight. But they looked all right and the referee had no kick against them. megsed up Mike's midriff. Neither Is Great Fighter. ‘Wilson was cleverer than O'Dowd. gu: that is not saying a whole lot. 'he fight was thrilling in spots and at other times was monotonous. But all_in ‘all ‘Wilson proved himseif to-be far a cheess champion. a it looks as though no middleweight in the ring will be able to take his title :away from Him. 3 e Both prihcipals ‘welghed in under *the sth ited 160 pou; at, 2 o'clock it SR BT THREE PRELIMINARIES FURNISH LIVELY.DRAWS NI!

Fight fans who braved the eléments to make the trip to the armory in Silver Spring, Md., Jast night to wit- ness the show offered by the Supply Company, 1st Maryland Infantry, were sorely disappointed. Of the thirty- four rounds called for by five bouts scheduled, only ten were given in four rapy and a battle royal proved a dismal failure. The feature match between Ping Bodie of Philadelphia and Willle Grass of York, lght featherweights, ended in the second seselon, when Grass took the count But they certainlyfafter both battlers had made weak | attempts at mixing.
