COLORED SCRAPPERS GIVE
GOOD BOXING EXHIBITION
Two colored gentlemen known
Sailor Young ami Andrew Yead had
a si x-r* <und fu-^ before a fair crowd
in the old Kenai club room Wednesday
night, the sailor getting the decision
because of superior cleverness. He !
could have put his man out almost any
time after tie* third round. Mead i- a
gritty fighter and can punch as hard
as Young but it was only once in a
while that he landed a haymaker.;
When he did it was plain that the
sailor was jolt«*tl some. In fast mixing
too. he often forced Young backward. 1
Young seems to have all the ele-1
ments of a classy fighter. He is very ,
quick with his hands and on his feet,
can hit and get away, and he landed
on Mead almost at will. lie has de
veloped the arm movement for which
Joe Cans and Rufe Turner are famous
and like those noted warriors seems to
have his wings spread to protect his
entire front from jaw to solar plexus.
In the first round Mead rushed the
battle and it was almost even until
near the end when Young set him on
his haunches with a short left hook on
the jaw at the end of a fast mix. In j
the second round Young made Mead I
very tired and in the third he put him j
on his knees with a right and left
swing to head and body. Mead let j
Referee Joe Ray count eight before be
arose. In the fourth Young jabbed
Mead nil over the ring and had him
tottering before the end. He could
have landed a knockout but contented
himself with patting his dusky oppo
nent on the jaw with his glove a few
times. In the fifth and sixth Young
merely sparred, though the pair went
fast at times. Mead went down once.
The Buffalo crowd are very proud of
Young and think he is a coming wel
ter weight near the champ class. He
certainly can go some but it is hard to
teil how good he would be against
Ketchel or Joe Thomas.
