The Spring Fight.

The Tribune's account of the fisti,
encounter between Will Davis anC
Harry Thaxter, while it has the merit
of originality, is an account which is
directly opposed to the version of a
hundred eye witnesses. Thaxter was
groggy and whipped when the by
ISLANDERS interfered, and Davis face
showed no signs of encounter. The
cause of the row was Thaxter using
filthy language to Davis who knocked
him down for his insulting remarks.
