HOUCK GETS SHADE OVER
Bi
Crowd Sees Good Card of Boxing at Bijou
Theater—Young and Budd Fight Rattling
Draw—Underwood Wins From Kid Diamond.
By Left Hook.
I EO HOUCK, middleweight, of Philadelphia, on his first ap
pearance before fistic fans of Atlanta demonstrated to the
queen’s taste, that he is one of the niftiest 158 ; pounders in
the squared circle last night when he shaded George (Knockout)
Brown, the Chicago Greek, in a ten-round set-to at the Bijou Thea
ter. Houck by his own clean fighting and extremely clever de
fense had the crowd with him from the tap of the gong, and the
decision, given by representatives of the local press, was received
with cheers when the argument was “ “ , , , ~~~ ““
rushing him, slightly off his balance,
and the latter hit the canvas, only
to regain his feet the instant he land
ed. All in all, the middleweights put
up a corking good fight and deserved
the continual applause that was
meted out to them.
('■'RANTING that the fight was a
^ regular old slambang, semi-sci
entific performance, it must be in
serted right here that the biggest fea
ture of the night’s entertainment was
the crowd that turned out to see the
battle, with secondary notice given the
enthusiasm and general interest that
were shown from the time these Duu-
can and Connolly youngsters started
the hostilities until Referee Mike Saul
hoisted Houck’s hand in the air to
signify the Quaker's victory.
* * *
A T 8:30, when the bouts were sched
uled to start, the street in front
of the Bijou looked like the “streets
of Cairo,” and police were needed to
stop crowding at the box office and
the entrances. Every seat in the
house w'as filled and many were
forced to stand during the entire
show. All of which goes to substan
tiate the oft-repeated argument that
Atlantans will give the proper support
to the fight game if everything is on
the square and the .proper kind of
cards are arranged.
* * •
/”* ETTTNG dow n to the fight proper,
this K. O. party, who was
hatched under the wings of Nate
Lewis, lived up !o his reputation of
being a glutton for punishment. Time
after time Houck would take that pe-
, culiar little hop-skip-and-j^mp of his
and poke that stinging left straight
into the Greek’s face, and time after
time the Greek, after being jarred
L silly by the pokes, would wade right
into his opponent, get him in close to
him and exchange some of the most
vicious kinds of wallops—just as
though the jabs to his physog were
naught but gentle love taps.
* * •
T HE Philadelphian, on account of
his desire to stand off aad min-
ele, gained favor early with the
• row'd, who overlooked the fact that
Frown was getting in some extreme
ly effective work when it came to in
fighting Houck took four of the ten
rounds, five •were even and the eighth
w®nt to Brown, who in that frame
« red f he onlv knockdown of the
bon* K. O. in the stanza that is
. vested to him caught the Quaker
on the tip of the jaw as Leo was
T EAVING the stars of huge magni-
tude in the gloaming, let us turn
to the semi-windup, in which Kid
Young and Battling Budd furnished
eight rounds of the fastest, fiercest
kind of fighting that could be asked
by the most fastidious. Yes, it was
a draw ; but at times it looked as
though either boy had the other at a
point where a knckout would not have
been a surprise. Probably more en
thusiasm was shown in this battle
than in the windup, because both are
local favorites and had a bevy of
friends plugging and cheering for
them all the way through. Budd was
the best at toe-to-toe slugging, but
Young had the margin when it came
to cutting them loose in the
clinches.
• * *
I/*ID UNDERWOOD and Kid Dia-
1 ** mond traveled a fast pace during
the time they exchanged wallops, and.
although the boy with the sparkling
handle led at the jumpoff. Underwood
came back strong and won bis way
to a decision. This pair meant busi
ness from the tap of the gong, Dia
mond lurching at Underwood’s ston-
ach every time they pulled out of a
clinch, but never quite landing the
blow that he showed clearly was his
pet.
Two ambitious youths named Dun
can and Connolly started the show
and showed that they either had
something against each other person
ally or were fighting for another
chance later on higher up on the
card when they went to a four-round
draw.
* * *
T HE card all the way through was
1 a hummer. Referee Mike Saul
kept all the fighters stepping at their
liveliest paces and broke the fighters
loose at the least Indication of a
clinch for a stall or rest. Houck and
Brown both had many admirers In
the audience, and both would un
doubtedly be welcomed back h*»re
against any other middleweight fight
er at a future date.

The Ford—a great utility because it serves
all the people. The popular choice, because
it gives better service at a lower cost.
Popular again, because it is simple and
easily understood by everybody. And with
all the refinements, it is still the same de
pendable Ford, and sells for $60 less than
last year—besides the plan of sharing
profits with the buyers.
Buyers will share in profits if we sell at retail
300,000 new Ford cars between August 1914 and
August 1915.
Touring Car $490; Runabout $440; Town Car
$690; Coupelet $750; Sedan $975, f. o. b. Detroit
