CROWLEY HITS CAPLAN OVER ROPES

BUT FIGHT ENDS.

IN A DRAW CAUTION ISSUED

(By Fred Darinell)

London, May 28. The big feather-weight boxing duel between Benny Caplan, of St. George's, and Dave Crowley, of Clerkenwell, which had stirred the East End into rival camps of partisanship, ended in a draw last night after 15 rounds of keen and thrilling fighting.

I thought Crowley had just about won, but the margin was so close that differences of opinion were bound to arise.

In the early stages Crowley punished Caplan with several body punches, and in the fourth round he sent his opponent through the

ropea,

It was not until the seventh round that Caplan did any notable acoring. His superior boxing then began to tell, but in the eighth round Crowley rushed him back- wards once more and Caplan did n back-dive through the ropes.

The referee cautioned Crowley here for his impulsiveness and Cap- lan made at impressive wink to his seconds as he once more joined in the issue.

on the later stages to turn, the issue. He had been beaten at the
