won on a foul from Barry Per-son
lot Sweden in the fifth round of a
scheduled ten round bout in New
York. iiast night. Referee Jimmy
Crowley disqualified Per-seen for hit-
ting low after he had warned the
Swedish boxer in previous rounds.
Pe’son weighed 200 1-: pounds;
German. 200. l
The bout which was the final of
the card of four ten-round matches
was not exciting in the first four
rounds neither boxer being punished
to any extent. The lifth round had
continued one minute and to sec-
ond when Pereson was sent" his
co r. In the boxing during the
tint four rounds. Persson had an
edge. Both'boxers wen told by the
referee to get their blows up but
Persson was warned in three of the
first four rounds to refrain from
questionable blows. ‘ .
The card attracted only a small
attendance, the number of paid
spectators being announced as 8.528.
The Swede was the aggro-or in
the first two rounds. punishing Bud
severely about the head with right
and left Jabs. Both were Warned
for hitting low. ‘
In the third. Per-son gave Gor-
man quite a sheilsoing at close
range. landing so many times that it
seemed as though German must go
down but he didn't. .
In the fourth Harry played tattoo
on Bud's stomach. German com-
plained that the Swede was hitting
low. but the referee said no. Ger.
man drew the claret from Persoon's
nose toward the close of this station.
In the fifth. however. after Harry
almost doubled Bud in two with a
left and right to the wind. the ref-
cree warned the Swede. Once again
Persson hit low. and the refreoe dis-
qualified him. The victory went to
German, although he had failed to
land a dozen good blows. .
Yale Okun of New York was given
a decision over Earl Blue of St. Paul
in a fast ten-round bout. Okun
weighed 178 pounds; Blue. 178. The
decision proved unpopular with a
portion of the crowd and was great-
ed with prolonged booing.
Blue dropped Okun for a count of
nine in the first round.

his fights mainly because he had
speed and could keep slapping and
