Matthew- son of the Central Y, To-| ronto The finals in the Eastern On- tario Championships were fought | last night at the Armouries before an appreciative crowd. Many ace high fights were seen with action i being the main feature in all save | ome. The granting of these fights by the Ont. branch of the A.A.U. of C. | was not met with support that an | atfair of such importance should | have enjoyed and although the lo- | cal arena was seating far more than on Monday night there was still seats unused. The securing of this permission to have the fights here was largely due to the efforts of { the Ontario Regiment Boxing Club officers and their work in bringing this, one of the outstanding events in amateur athletics to Oshawa was deserving of more support than it met with, | Ten fights were fought with | only one being in the least slow, | the remaining were of champion- | ship calibre from bell to bell with i the feature fight being the 112 Ib. final between Malcolm Mathewson, a clean cut ®ad of 15, from the Central Y. Toronto, against Lint Green of the Hamilton Lions' Club, Green, older and more experienced, was forced to give way to the can- ny stalking ofthe two fisted Math- ewson. This fight was a treat to all fans present and 'they cheered I! the winner to an echo showing l their appreciation for a fighter that radiated health and clean liv~ ing in every movement he made. Bert Ripley from the Ontario Regiment Boxing Club also won two smart fights, winning his first easily from Tony Fezzie of the St. Agnes' Club, Toronto, by means of la perpetual straight left that found ' Fezzie's face on nearly every at- tempt. In his second fight Ripley encountered trouble but came | through in a game manner to win f the final through pluck and the ability to stick in though the go- ing was rough. This fight was won f from Clark Bell, of Toronto, u [fanky boy that had boxing ability, but no condition, for two rounds Bell kept Ripley away with sting- ing rights and lefts but in the third the local boxer was determined and pounded Bell continually to over- 'come a long lead and win the East- ern Championship, Scotty Adair, the other local fighter entered in the tourney, lost close, interesting fight to Lint Green, in the second bout of the levening. Scotty having won one lon the previous night was not equal to the cleverness of the Hamilton- fan, trying hard throughout the 3 'rounds, Scotty gave his public all he had and his following 'were behind him in every round. | The heaveyweight affair was too me-sided to be classed as among i best, but was interesting by on of the terrific force used | the punches meted out by both of these "big shots." Brown, the big- gest, punished Kosky through two rounds with hard right and lefts the face that soon had the ede"s face a sorry looking mass flesh. The fight was called ly in the third round when Kos- (y's seconds threw in the sponge save their man from the cruel ows of the Toronto school teacher. ord vs Mathewson | Both started fine with both lighters connecting regularly. The ptral Y boy was his usual cool If and anxious to close in and got the best of the infighting. Craw- ord landed plenty. - In the second athewson preferred to box him ind coolly stalked Crawford from ppe to corner, once knocking him tainst the ropes with a succession bf straight lefts and continuing to the same throughout the see- md and third rounds. Each at- jompt to close in on the part of rawford was met by a jolting left ot piled up a lead that Crawford er could"have overcome. Math- son won an interesting fight to @ crowd's approval. Green vs. a The opening round = started by parring, each feeling the 'ether ut, this did not continue as Scotty in some effective lefts, while RESULTS 112 M. Mathewson, Central Y, defeated Harold Orawford, Classic, decision. Lint Green, Hamilton Lions Club defeated Scotty Adair, Excelsior Club (Oshawa) de- cision, 135 Tony Fezzie, St. Agnes, de feated by Bert Ripley, Ont. Reg. Boxing Club, decision. H. Barnes, Toronto, defeat- ed by Clarke Bell, Toronto, decision. 147 Final Dan Casey, Kirkland Lake, defeated by Mickey McGuire, St. James, K.O. 118 Final Pat Gavigan, St. James, de- feated by Don Bigely, Classic, called at the end of second. 126 Final Tommy Bland, St. Agnes, defeated Bobby Lawrence, Moose A.

Mathewson, Central Y decision. 135 1b. Final Clark Bell, Toronto, defeats ed by Bert Ripley, Ont. Reg. decision. Green did some right-hand work that evened things up. Green con- tinued the right cross that found Scotty's face to bring blood. Fight they did, each taking hard swipes at the other and only clever duck- ing prevented all of them from landing. The crowd cheered wild~ ly during the third round as Green and Adair stood toe to toe mixing things up. Green always pursuing Scotty, succeeded in 'landing terri- fic right hooks to Scotty's face. Adair finished coming hard and more time would have enabled him to win the fight. This was poss- ibly one of the smartest bouts ever seen in Oshawa with two smart scrappers that were willing to fight in at the same time. Fezzie vs. Ripley Keeping a counting left continu- ally in Fezzie's face Ripley occa sionally crossed it with a stinging right that mounted up a lead de- spite a free flow of blood from his nose, caused by hard right hooks delivered by Mr. Fezzie. Ripley sure popped in plenty with straight hard rights and lefts doing the damage. Fezzie landed enough to keep the tap running but was groggy at the end -of the second. Starting strong in the third Fez- zie looked good for about 15 sec- onds after which the straight left crossed by the right every little while had Fezzie all but out on his feet before the end of the bout. Ripley, on his smart showing won himself a place in the all Ontario finals to be boxed in Toronto on Monday and Tuesday. Barnes vs. Bell Too much posing with Barnes the , shorter crouching and Rell standing back. Barnes rushed Bell but it is doubtful as to who got the best of the exchange. Not eu- ough aggressiveness, Barnes doing the rushing and Bell ever retreat- ing. Bell got a number of stiff jolts when he was backing up. Only once did any action take place when Bell showed a willingness to mix it. The same style continued in thethird. A fighter would have had his man a round past. The stand off and hitting tactics piled up a small margin that earned him the bout. +, Casey and McGuire Thrown for a loss on the first down, (that's wrong). Both start- ed fast with Casey adopting a weave that would have been O.K. had it not been for McGuire's flick- ing left that created a great deal of respect and that same left ecou- pled with a variety of rights and smart boxing wherein McGuire. made hay while the stockier Casey was attempting to shoot over a knockout punch. The haymaker was well telegraphed and McGuire pounded accurately and rapidly. In the third round Casey was knock- ed to the floor where he stayed for an eight count and after taking a few more on the face he received a straight left that put him out for the full count. Gavigan vs. Bigely Two Irish scrappers showed pre- ference fo stand up and knock. 'em down. Gavigan following Bigely around, hitting him with hard rights. Bigely came back strong in the second hitting Gavigan with straight lefts that weakened Pat to the extent of forcing him to give up .|the struggle at the end of the round. Much clinching was in evi- dence during the round when Gavi- gan, shy of condition, was forced to cling. 126 1b. Final | Two smart boxers that closed in 'and hit hard. Bland a clever defen- isive boxer hit twice fo revery one received. Those that were receiv- 'ed were hard left hooks that re- sounded as tought to take. The (hard left hook to the stomach of Bland continued to connect through ithe second, Tommy Bland's clever- [ness enabled him to keep things even by straight rights and lefts. | An even fight between two real 'smart scrappers with the hard left of Laurence playing a tatoo on iBland's mid-section. Bland's box- ing ability was sticking out in the (form of stiff jabs. An extra round was the only decision that could have met with approval. This was also an .almost even affair, but Tommy Bland's cleverness won for him the 126 1b. championship, Heavyweights The strength of the blows was lindicated by a grunt and a groan (with every sock as the "Big Boys" (took hard smacks. Brown raised Kosky"s eye early in the round with a hard right, later knocking him through the ropes late in the round. Brown's nose was bleeding from straight lefts. In the second, {Brown had Kosky continually lay- ing on the ropes or outside them las he dealt out punishment in the form of hard, and real hard at that, rights to the sore and bleeding face of the game Kosky. The crowd cheered Kosky as he tried gamely to stop the inevitable. The third was a continuance of the secund until Kosky was out on hig feet and the bout stopped. y 112 1b. Final Mathewson, a two fisted clean cut scrapper, although bleeding at the nose from a hard left, stayed with the older Green to keep the first even. Using the old stalking method Mathewson followed Green around the ring popping straight lefts and left and right hooks to face and body. Green also did some smart punching, With feet wide apart and both arms working like pistons, Mathewson gave the crowd the expected ace-high fight' by pro- ceeding to land hard punches with both hands on the face of the Ham- iltonian. Green was also bleeding profusely before the round had proceeded far. Mathewson had trouble but beat Green decisively in this, the smartest scrap of the evening. 133 1b. Final Bell kept a long way away from Ripley and by smart boxing with swift rights and lefts easily led the first round. Ripley finished strong getting Bell in a neutral corner and pounding some hard body punches in. The second saw Ripley boring in, but was unable to get in close to do much damage. Bell, a smart boxer, held his away. Ripley was not to be denied and hit Bell with everything, having him hanging on the ropes through lack of condi- tion. Ripley overcome a long lead to win an uphill battle. HEAVYWEIGHT SUED FOR 330,000 FOR BREACH OF PROMISE Pierre Charles, Belgian Box- er Bumps Up Against Difficulties on Land- ing In N. Y.

SPORT SNAPSHOTS There was only one dull fight out of the whole card of final fights last night, that being the Bell-Barnes affair with Bell a superior boxer hold- ing the charging Barnes away from him for three rounds to win on points. Other than this the card was a set 'em up and bang "em down affair, all participants putting all they had in every punch that was delivered. The winners in each class earned for themselves the title of Eastern Ontario Champion in his respective class and also the ring to compete in the finals being held in Toronto on' Monday and Tuesday of next week. The run- ners up also have the chance to hit back at their victors at this show. The winners of this along with those decided at the London show will all be present and two nights of smart boxing are assured, Oshawa has one in this group of mitt slingers in the person of Bert Ripley of the Ontario Regiment Boxing Club who last night fought his way to the top over a 'couple of clever adversaries. Winning the first from Tony Fezzie, Ripley then met Clarke Bell, of Toronto, and formerly of Rid- ley College in the final. Bell gave the champion a tough battle from the start but was unable to keep up the pace and faded before the onslaught of the Regimental boxer in the third round, One of the most pleasing fights was exhibited by Green, of Hamilton, and Mathewson, of the Central Y Toronto. Mathewson, under the super- vision of the veteran Sargeant Cooper and Chuck Murray, of the Toronto Y, showed that his instructors had left no stone unturned in their efforts to make a real scrapper out of the willing pupil they had charge of. And this same little fighter came of the evening from Harold Crawford Lint Green, of Hamilton. made a hit with the fans not through flying winning his first fight and taking the final from the veteran In winning all three of his fights Crawford only as a fighter but as a boy and a sportsman. Between fights Charles Higgenbottom, head of the Ontario Branch of the Amateur Athletic Union of Canada was introduced to the fans as was Steve Rocco, the classy Toronto professional flyweight.

Decide Canpro Winners Tonight Detroit, Mich, April 10.--Frank Foyston and his Olympics departed yesterday afternoon for Fort Erie where the Detroit club tomignt meets the Windsor Bulldogs in the fifth and deciding game for the Canadian Hockey league champion- ship and possession of the Teddy Oke trophy. Save for a bad gash over Tom- my Filmore's eye, the Detroit play- ers are in first class shape and had the benefit of a night's rest after the jounrey before taking the ice. Saturday night's gruelling game in Windsor took much out of the players but all ahd had enouyh time to recuperate and it is not probable that condition will be a factor in tonight's tussle. Foyston took along eleven players, includ- ing himself which is just the num- ber on the roster. Trainer Honey Walker and Manager Jack Auamy of the Cougars completed the par- ty. President Charles A. Hughes will Jeave in the morning to take in the game, Indications are that another bit- ter struggle is in the offing; there is much feeling between the playe:s of the rival clubs but Foyston has instructed his players to go out af- tér goals and not after the oppos- ition, Lou Marsh and Bobby Hew- itson again will be the officials in charge, The probable line-ups: Detroit -- Goal, Stuart; defence, Fraser and Rockburn; centre, Goodfellow; wings, Filmore and Gillie; subs, McCabe, Foyston, Mc- Inenly, Hinsperger. Windsor -- Goal, Cox; defence, Brown and Arbour; centre, Neville, wings, Carson and Emms; subs, Rodden, Roach, Sorrell, Gregg, Bellemer.
