SMITH TOO MUCH FOR WAGNER Inability to Time- Punrhe3 Proves Latter's Downfall at Quaker City. Harry Smith scored an ensy victory over Harry Wagner In the main bout nt tho Quaker City A A last night Wngner found his opponent's awkward atjle puz zling, and at times he launched out des perately with a series of right nnd left swings. Comparatively few of bis blows found lodgment, and when he became too active In his attack Smith would tie him up In a clinch. Smith connected with right swings to bis opponent's face and body often enough to give him the de cision by a v.lda margin. Noah Mitchell won from Young Lowry In the somlwind-up. Hoth boxers are Negroes, and It was a free exchange of punches throughout, with Mitchell land ing the greater number of blows.
