TARLETON FIGHTS A DRAW

MANY THOUGHT: JOHNNY KING HAD LOST

(By VULCAN)

London, Oct. 11. Johnny King (Manchester), the bantam-weight champion, and Nel Tarleton (Liverpool) the feather-weight champion, boxed n draw in their long-awaited meeting at 9st., the feather- weight limit, at Liverpool. Stad- ium last night.

The contest was over 12 rounds. the to protect Tarleton's title, Beard of Control having refused' to sanction it as a championship bout. Mr. Tom Gamble (Man- chester) refereed owing to the in- disposition of Mr. C. II. Douglas.

After the fight opinions were divided as to the wisdom or other- wise of the referee's decision.

For my

own part I thought Tarleton a clear winner and the draw verdict was probably due to

grandstand finish by King, who crowded on the pressure in the ninth, tenth and eleventh rounds after being out-pointed in all the others except the first.

Then, when they came up for the final round, he went all out for victory and probably swayed the decision by his grand efforts in this session. At any rate, whether the decision was justified or not, King had nothing at all to be ashamed of in his first contest as · a featherweight.

As a fistic entertainment the bout was rather spolled by the keenness with which both boxers mixed it; but it was'a fine scrap for all that, with King's youth and extra strength weighed in the balance against the experience and defensive ringeraft of Tarleton.

The only count was taken by King in the ninth round, a hefty down for six. He writhed on the floor and claimed a foul, but the blow was patently fair and he came up strongly afterwards,

Marcel Thil, world's middle- weight champion and idol of the French populace, could at the present moment defent, and with- out extending himself, any French light heavyweight or heavyweight in the country.. It is for that rea- BON that Dickson must employ foreign heavyweights in French rings, such as tho American Negro Obla Walker. the Argentine Tomasulo and other secondary
