SHAPE FOR BATTLE
New. Tork exchanges to,, hand carry
- an account of Jimmy CirroU'i first
bout In th east with a lighlwolght
named Toung Brown. Though Carroll
It but a good slued bantam ; the New
York scribes seem to have the Idea that
he Is a lightweight, young Brown la a
legitimate lightweight and Carroll had
to give away a lot of weight to him.
Here's what one of the : New York
papery had to Bay of the Brown-Carroll
. combat: V & -t' ';?-.: . i-i. . . .';.
"Jimmy Carroll, the California light
weight who , arrived here a short time
ago In the rear of a widely heralded
reputation, did not create a favorable
Impression-with the local fight, fans in
his Initial bout with Young Brown, an
east side boy. at the Fordon A. C The
local youngster earned the decslon and
earned It by a comfortable margin,
"In the opening round Carroll , nar
rowly escaped a knockout when he col
lided with a hard left swing to the Jaw
that put him down for a count of
sever:. Thereafter the' native son had a
healthy respect for Brown's punches
and assumed the defensive,' which he
maintained throughout nearly all suc
ceeding rounds. .
"The bout was a good one and full of
action. Brown repeatedly winged In
Jolting left hooks and Jabs, but. they
lacked steam,' and while they staggered
Carroll several times he was unable
to make, the victory a knockout one.
In the fifth round 'Brown led for the
stomach with a right, and when Car
roll dropped his guard crossed a left
to the Jaw. The blow dazed the Call
fornian, but he hung on and managed
to. weather the round.
"Carroll gained strength is the bout
progressed, and toward the end did not
hesitate to stand toe to toe and swap
punches. Brown, however, had plied up
a big lead, and at the finish there was
no question as to the decision."

natural that a person's accuracy of

following the course of a golf ball.
Practice in anything tends to bring
perfection. ' . .

watching the " course of a ball from
