These two bouts, both sched uled for fifteen rounds, were head liners of a cart) of five heavy weight contests, one of these the most spectacular fight programs ever staged l.» this country and a magnet tor a picturesque throng that all but filled the great Yankee ball park. Official figures were lacklnlg Saturday nlglht but It was estimated that the throng was at least five thousand less than tho crowd of seventy-tour thousand which packed the stadium at the opening American .'eague baseball game recently. It waa a record for a boxing show In this state but far behind the attendance figure of m orhtean ninety thousand at the Carpentler-Dempsey fight two two years ago.
