Pal Moore, the wonderful seventeen-year-old Philadelphia bantamweight, defeated Jimmy Walsh of Boston, the American champion, in a redhot ten round bout at the Empire Athletic club here, and a crowd of 4,000 boxing enthusiasts went wild over the encounter.

They met at catch weights, and in every round there was strenuous action. Walsh was both clever and rugged, but Moore outclassed him in at least six of the rounds, though it was a close fight. In the last round Walsh took a trimming with great gameness, but after the fight he said he wanted another match at 116 pounds. It was Moore's most important victory. Moore showed superior class, not only in ring science, but in all around fighting.

At long range he outboxed Walsh and at close quarters he showed greater strength and accuracy in delivering his punches. I In the first round Walsh Jumped in quickly with a left on the head. Moore clinched, and on the break -he began Jabbing with a' long left In the face. Moore then put a left to the stomach. Walsh met a rush with a clinch.

Then they got into a fast rally, both landing swings. As Walsh came In in the second round Moore swung a left to the head. They got into a clinch. Moore forced the issue and with a hard right swing he cut open Walsh's left eye. Walsh returned the compliment with a smash that made Fal's left optic swell too.

As Walsh rushed he received a solid left hook on the jaw and made him back away. Moore stood In close at the beginning of the third round and made Walsh clinch by landing a heavy right on the jaw. He followed with a body punch and Walsh, fighting back, was forced to the ropes. They got Into a hot mix, Moore doing the more effective Infighting. Walsh reached Moore's jaw with a left, but got a couple of solid punches on his head.

In the fourth "round Moore cornered Walsh and sent in a storm of lefts to the face until Walsh, bewildered, clinched. Getting free, Walsh tried several dangerous swings, but Moore took them all and did so much Infighting that the Boston boy hung on until the referee broke them apart In the fifth Moore hammered Walsh In the ribs and then forced him to clinch, when he reached the jaw with a right hook. Walsh, in another mix, cut Moore over the right eye. Moore had the better of the first half of the fifth round, but in a fierce mix toward the end Walsh landed a great smash between the eyes that drew the blood in a stream. Moore backed to the ropes then, and Walsh had the round by a small advantage.

In the sixth Moore, after some light stalling, suddenly cut' lose with a terrific assault. He punched, Walsh with right and left, delivered from all sorts of angles, and a quick ending of the mill seemed imminent. Walsh, however, clinched Incessantly in the last half minute and went to his corner very tired. Moore did more real fighting in the seventh and had the round, though Walsh fought gamely all the The latter's mouth was bleeding profusely when he went to his corner. Walsh rallied in the eighth and got an even break as Moore was apparently under a pull.

The Boston pugilist improved enough in the ninth to have that round by a shade, though Moore was always very busy. Walsh drank a glass of champagne before he came up for the last round and proceeded to hit up a fast pace. They fought in a half clinch all over the ring with the crowd in an uproar.

II. S. NOTES The pitcher and catcher of the senior class baseball team are practicing faithfully every day and keeping in trim so as to be able to van quish the other teams in the inter- class league. Putnam, Miller and Ricketts are to twist the. ball for the seniors.

Miller has plenty of "beef" and that sometimes means steam in pitching. Putnam is beginning to exert a large amount of control in his pitching. He can make the ball bend as it passes the plate. Ricektts also will fool the batsmen of the other teams. Howard Runyon will catch and his throw down to second is certainly fine.

He apparently puts very little effort in his throwing, but the ball sings its way through the air to second. At second base Ted Hamilton ably backs up Runyon. The Juniors are practicing hard also. Although defeat seems inevitable when they meet the Seniors, the latter expect to give their opponents a hard tussle. The boys of the school are taking a great deal of interest in the class games.

The Freshmen are putting up a good team. With Grisley In the box ihey are hard to beat. The P. H. are working hard to stage "As You Like it." The cast is excellent.

Tomorrow morning the P. H. S. baseball team will meet the strong Poly Prep, team at Crescent Oval.
