Y., and Billy Conley, so- called flash from San IFrancisco. A slim crowd greeted the appearance of the man who bolds two decisions over Bridgeport Jack Delancy and at the end of the session, the crowd booed and hooted Conley who held on for dear life throughout contest. Slattery won a knockout verdict over Conley in the sixth when Con- ley took an open dive to the can- vass. He landed on one knee for the count of two and then rose only to get down again as Slattery came in to finish him up. Referee “Jig- gers” McCarthy of New Haven dis- qualified him immediately and the bout was stopped. ®Conley was no match for the Buffalo boy. Slattery had a wide margin in height and reach and appearcd the master play- ing with @ poor tenth rater. Slattery was unable to show much stuft during the bout because of the fact that- Conley kept diving into clinches with him. None of the crowd blamed Slattery for the poor quality of the bdut because Conley was there apparently to stay by any possible means. Conley kept up a friendly conversation with Slaftery all the way through but made’sure that he left no openings for the Buffalo boy to sink in a sleep pro- ducer. Slattery gave the appear ance of trying hard to finish his man, but he was unable to do so be- cause Contey was holding so much. the Hartford and Red C bury, O'Keefe was awarded the de- cision at the end of the six round milling.

The navy owes its brilliant tfi- umph, in the final analysis, more fo superior strategy than anything else, It was the sudden spurt of the sall- ors, an_unexpected and ing dash at the three-mile mark, that won the race for them. Tn as bold a bid for supremacy as the picturcsque waters of the Hudson have ever the midshipmen, fn military language, stole a march on their rivals. They jumped into a lead of a length and a quarter before Wash- ington realized what was up, a mar- gin which saved the day for the midshipmen, This sudden drive the wind out of the havy's sails, but the momentum was enough to carry it on to victory in spite of Wash- ton’s closing rally fhat final bid of the huskies to retain their title but it was an cpilogue. Had there been another 100 yards another story might have been told, but unfortunately for the huskies no s was offered for rebuttal, 4 The victory put the navy enc up on Washington in the battles thess rivals ha taged in the past few years. ‘They ~ had met twice he. fore, the midshipwien rowing to tri- umph in 1 . but losing in 1023 to the far-westencrs.
