LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE VARSITY FIVE MEETS HASSETT TOSSERS TO-NIGHT LIVELY BOUTS ON BOXING PROGRAM Frankie McGuire Has Best of "Kid" Alberts; Local Boy Wins on Foul Boxing enthusiasts last night wit nessed two bouts that eclipse any thing in ring exhibitions ever seen in Harrisburg. In a ten-round mill Frankie McGuire of Willlamsport had the best of Kid Alberts of Frederick, Sid. This was something like a ring battle should be. Both men were in evidence from start to finish. The eight-round go between Frankie Erne of Lancaster, a former Harris burger, and A 1 Murphy, of Scranton, also proved a hair-raising mixup. The Scranton boy looked like a winner on points, but he did not have the easy "time experienced in the first bout with Frankie Erne lust May. McGuire Use Deft In the ten-round wlndup Alberts had a punch and proved a strong in flghter. McGuire was cool and work ed his left to an advantage. The Maryland lad showed slightly better infighting experience. He had the best of four of the rounds. The other six were unquestionably McGuire's. The eight-round semi-windup was an interesting exhibition and both boys were on the move all the time. Erne was stronger in every round after the fifth. It was a scientific hat tie and won much favorable com ment. Short Preliminaries The preliminaries ended early. Referee Jack Zundell of Reading stopped the bout between Johnny Wil liams of Coatesville and Kid Murphy of Lancaster in the third round. The hoys were using their heads fre quently and Williams received a hard blow in the stomach that put him al most into dreamland. Herb Hunter of Harrisburg, was fouled by Fighting Ben of York in the fourth round and received a blow In the groin that may keep him out of the ring for sometime. Those who watched this bout closely are of the opinion that the foul was not inten tional. Hunter, according to a gen eral belief was partly to blame for the foul. He won the battle on the decision, and when in shape will give the York man another chance.
