A crowd of 8,361 persons paid a gross sum of $21,243 to witness this and four other bouts in the Kingspridge arena. Compared to some of the battles that have been furnished at local clubs lately, last night's principal bout was a listless affair indeed. It lagked gbectacular features and held few ex- citing moments. Doyle fought in a disappointing manner. He was on the defensive almost continually. In the second session, however, Doyle loosen- ed up a bit and outboxed his rival, and in the fifth round the east sider decided to discard his careful defgnse for a few spirited exchanges in which he held Shade even. For the remainder of the bout, how- ever, Shade pressed the attack with- out variation of without danger of having the lead taken from him as he forced Doyle about the ring under a shower of left hooks and left jabs to the face and rights to the body and head. Shade’s speed and rapid attack had his rival in a quandary, so that Doyle, in the few instances in which' he es- Frisuds come |sayed offensive action was woefully inaccurate with his punches.

LIKE TO BATTLE LEONARD Dwyer Also Thinks That He Would Be Able to Polish “"Off Lew Tendler as an Ap- petizer for Benny. New York, Aug. 2.—Hugh Dwyer, lightweight champlon of Australia and New Zealand, has arrived here from his native habitat with the announc- ed intention of meeting some of our good lightweights and then going af- ter Benny Leonard’s crown. “‘Of course,” says Dwyer. “I'd have no objection to meeting Leonard first if it can be arranged, but bYarring that I'll go after Lew Tendler and some of the others first.” . Dwyer brings with him a first-class ring reputation. In his six years of fighting he has been in 50 fights and won more than half of them by the knockout route. Can He Do It? He is 25 yearw old, stands flve feet: six® inches and welghs about 142 peunds. “But I have no trouble in weigh- ing in at 133,” he declares, in his quiet, soft-spokén manner. Experts are wondering, though, if he can do it. Some of the skeptical ones think he may go the way of “Bud” Anderson. ¢ Training down wasn't so {ough on Anderson.

Lynch is not recognized as world's bantamweight champion in this state. The State Athletic Commission last week declared the title vapated be- cause of Lynch's delay in aecepting a challenge from Burman. It geveloped after the suspension, however, that Lynch and Burman had been signed a day before the commission took ac- tion against the titleholder. In view of this curcumstance it is generally expected that the commission will re- store Lynch to good standing with a reprimand for not taking the trouble to advise the commission. of the Bur- man match. stage a comeback from his heart ail- ments and hang up a new list of speed figures.
