11 heavyweight I ever have seen
and, boy, I've had a squint at a let of

Loughran will be un,nreund the 18S 18S
pennd mark before thc end of the jcar.
Dy that tlme he ought te develop borne
sort of n wallop, and then ull of the hi
fellows will have te watch out, the
only exception, probably, being Demp
scy." It was Scotty Menteith, one of the
leading boxing trainers in America, wnu
euleglred Temmy Loughran of Seuth
Philadelphia, thusly, following the nine-tecn-jcar-eld
lad's clean-cut and de
cisive victory ever Bryan Downey, the
man who was supposed te have knocked
out Champien Johnny Wilsen three dif
ferent and distinct times in their bout
nt CIcvclund last July.
Leugirnn has been coming uieiig
steadily since he stepped into the Hme
glnre as a stellar scrapper at the Ice
Palace, and last night's win in the
West Philadelphia arena brfore a
crowd of about 8000 fans was his most
imprcsshe yet. Net that the bout was
the most interesting Temmy linn en
gaged in but. en the ether hand, be
caiiHC the pride of St. Menica's j. e.
came through with a real big surprise.
Upset the Depe
Of course, there are a let of "I-told-jeu-so"
giijs around today, but up until
bclltime Inst night there were many
who eiced their disapproval of the
bout. "It's n bad match for Temmy;
Downey U tee tough ana aggressive for
him," unpeared te be the general enln-
1?", J ,these y," "eured Manager Jee
bmlth had pulled a boner.
But right from the beginning Temmy
showed himself off as Bryan's master.
And another thing, Downey didn't turn
out te be such an aggressive battler
after all. In fact Imd It unt v -
the lending of the Philadelphia lad, there
would have been no contest whatever te
twin uoeut. several times Loughran
became se disgusted because of Dow Dew
nr h bncklng-away tactlcn that he
stepped flat-footed and beckoned the
Olilen te ndance Instead of retreat.
itTII0lrst rc,un(l ns even, as was thc
third, but In every ene of the ether ses
s 011s Downey was completely out
classed. Brynn landed with but three
solid punches throughout the entire en
counter, two of the blows coming while
in a cl nek and the pthcr being a left
jab In the lust round.
While Temmv scored eftpn nmi with
home steam behind IiIh punches, most et
which were straight lefts, he nlse dis
played u let of cleverness, tlme and
again making Downey miss widelv and
leek foolish. It was net until the
fourth round thnt Loughran rcnlly
opened up and in thnt session he shook
up the CleeImidcr with a right cress
flush en the chin.
Scorns Knoehdewn
In the fifth leund n one-two punch
dropped Dettiiev, although Beun went
down while being off balance; neverthe
less it was a knockdown. In this period
Loughran opened up wlde and liu bat
tered Brjnn around the ring for fair
I ntil the final clang of the bell
Letighrnn staved way out in front mid
at the finish Temmy stepped briskly out
of the ring unbcathed. whlle Downev'a

wns somewhat swollen. Loughran n,

round.
