Famous Crouch—Gans

NEW YORK. Aug. ..—-Lou Bogash
shot up another step towards the mid-
dleweight championship here last
night when he “on the Judges' de-
cision over Panama Joe Gans. colored
welter and midflewcight champion in
alo round semi-final bout at the
Velodrome.
Battling the greatest. of colored
fighters from the first round to the
last. Bogash. using his crouch to er-
fection. kept away from the ham er-
like fists of Guns and on seve'ral oc-
casions let loose a shower of rights
and lofts that apparently won for him
the decision.
The negro champion appeared to be
in perfect condition but although he
went into the ring a slight favorite
did not appear able to fathom the
quick moves of the Bridgeport Italian.
Bogash Overweight.
Bogash madea big hit with the
Gotham fans with his prancing tac-
tics and his ability to hit in and out
of clinches. it was Bogash‘s first fight
in a month and he was far fK-orn his
best. Lou was a bit overweight and
tired rapidly after the sixth round but
came back strong in the ninth and
made the colored champion look fool-
ish in the. final canto.
In Gans, Bogash met one of the
toughcst men of the cauliflowd‘ ear
gentry. Iicisa towering lad. long
thin and particularly awkward due to
his clumsy style of crouch ng. His
crouch resembles Bogash's a great
deal except that the New Yorker was
willing to hug the canvas more often
to avoid punishment.
llogash had the colored lad bleed-
ing from the mouth in the third and
cut his nose in the fifth. A stiff
right drew a flow of clarit from Bo-
gnsh's nose in five sir-vonth which was
Gnns' lwst round.

llognsli was the favorite through-
out the tight. in the‘ early rounds

PANAMA JOE CANS. COLORED CHAMP
Bridgeport Fighter Borneo Colored Champion With His
Was Groggy in Fourth
third with Bogash doing what little
battling that was done. Leo. P. Flynn
took the limelight at. the close. of this
round when he tipped the water
bucket over the scribes in the press
row.
Bogash was at his b't in the
fourth. He used 1: rights and lofts
to head without return and punished
Gans severely in the body.
Bog-ash again staggered Gans in the
fifth. He was in bad condition being
very wild and falling after missing
several punches. Gans' nose was
skinned and he was bleeding freely
from the mouth.
Boguh held his lead in the sixth.
but it could be seen that he was tiring.
Lou landed a. pretty right which
shook up Gene and forced him to stay
on defensive.
Bogash's Nose Bleeding.
The seventh was replete with
clinches. Boguh was tiring and
caught a right which made his nose
bleed.
In the star battle- of the night Dave
Shade of San Francisco. welterweight
champion of the world. in New York
state. was awarded the Ojudges' de-
cision over Paul Doyle who had been
lcudly touted as one of the greatest
of the latest crop of contenders.
Doyle tried hard to get over a. num-
ber of telling blows throughout the 16
rounds «of milling but was unable to
keep step with the dancing and classy
westerner who richly deserved the de-
cision.
In a ‘10 round preliminary bout
John Clinton of Brooklyn got the dc-
cision over Johnny Mendelsohn and
Al Norton of Yonkers knocked out

for the nation. met unexpegted de-
feat today in the third round of the

Miss “‘ills’ defeat was the greatest

set went 12 games. the California girl
winning 7-5.
Miss Wills seemed to have lost 'her
speed and accuracy after the open-
ing set. She clung gamely during the
first six games of the second set.

Goes broke through service in the
hard drives and drawing her to fore
