Davis is a hard worker and is anxjous to retain his place among the goal getters and that is the thing that Red says he may do, too, (over his, Reds', dead body).

Primrose took a nine count in the second and was none too steady when the third ve- gan. He was still on his feet whet the bout was stopped, but was very groggy. : Tommy Bland, Toronto, feather weight, appeared to be in front in his bout with Stanley Knatek uf New York, but lost the decision ap- parently through lack of aggresse iveness in the third round. Bland, boxing beautifully, clearly out, pointed Knatek, from a boxing viewpoint, but the New York boy was on the aggressive throughout three rounds and, although failing to land many of his punches, caught the judge's eye by his rush- ing tactics, From a boxing views point there was no comparison be- tween the boys. It was about the fifth close decision against tne Canadian team during the tourney. Hard Luck for Montrealer A badly cut eye robbed the Cana dian of possible victory in the wel- terweight bout as Heathfield of Montreal was doing well against Joe Portik of Cleveland wnen an eye injury suffered in a bout last night was reopened and the Mont- realer was unable to continue.
