GREAT DISPLAY BY HARRY MIZLER
GIVES BOXING LESSON TO AL ROTH
By Fred Dartnell
London, Nov. 16. Fog was rather insistent round about Earl's Court last night, but the international flavour of the National Sporting Club's boxing programme drew a good attendance.
Harry Mizler, ex-British champion, gained a grand victory over Al Roth, the midget Max Baer from the United States of America.
Roth, with his week's growth of beard, looked formidably rough, but in Rie first round Mizler hilt him three glorious rights to the face and then proceeded to give him one of the best boxing lessons that has been seen in the ring for a long time.
It was the straight left that really

did the business. Roth was Bat- CHALLENGE
footed and slow, and he appeared to have little defence.
Mizler was so much the master Westchester Cup
boxer that he won the first five rounds off the reel.
He boxed coolly and with delight- fut skill and Roth took a long time to get into anything · like fighting shape. I think the American won the sixth and eighth rounds. Left hooks to the belly gave Mizler some trouble then and later on the Loixfoner's nose began to bleed.
