eth, fla ny oe ~ SEMI-FINAL DECISION HISSED BY RECORD CROWD Goldstein Refuses to Mix With Villa Although Having Advantage of Weight—Flores-Bernstein Draw Unpopular With Great Crowd in Famous Arena. M ings last night t has ever besieged the so-called Temple of Fistiana. Possibly little over half of the 26,000 who swarmed down on the amphitheatre managed to get inside. For thetr hard work @nd good money they saw one of the worst fights of the year and heard one of the rottenest decisions that could be rendered, In the twelve-round semi-final Jack Bernstein decisively defeated Elino Flores, the Fillpino lightweizht champion, and it was called a draw; what the decision was called by the crowd was something else again. In the feature bout be- tween Pancho Villa, the American fywelght titleholder, and Abe Goldstein, the latter managed to stay fifteen rounds by absolutely refusing to fight Goldstein had an advantage in weight but the little brown man casfly won over the bigger yellow one. There is more work here for the Boxing Commission. William Mul- doon, the Chairman, who was among those who had to fight his way into the Garden last evening, should insist on knowing why Goldstein, who was paid real money to entertain with his fists, gave in return a stupid terpsi- ‘chorean exhibition interspersed with some meaningless poses and an imitation of a clinging vine. And while the commission is about it they might endeavor to learn, when one fighter beats his man.in at least elght of the twelve rounds, and beats him badly—why it is a draw, The business so far as at least two among the judges—Tommy Shortelf¥and John Mc- Avoy—and Referee Artie McGovern are concerned, smacks of incompetence to say the very least. it was a wild night at the Gardea.¢ ‘The monster crowd tore one of the huge entrance doors from ite hingen and smashea the heavy plate glas# panels from the other. And follow ing the Bernstein-Flores decision they turned on the most prolonged and Pronounced hissing match ever heard in this particular arena. For the first, time in his career Joe Humphreys, the announcer, who as a rule is with out a peer in bringing a gathering to order, was forced to give up as a bad job the business of imparting the weights of the principals in the flnal ‘The raspberry chorus even drowned the cheers accorded the entrance of the popular Villa.
