After The North Star auartette had shaken
up the stars the first event of the evening
was called. Black Prince. of Colorado.
and Young Simmons. Of Montana, was the
way they were first announced. Later
they were switched around and before
morning they win probably wonder who
they are. II was said they weighed Us
pounds Perhaps Simmons did. It was a
Joke 80 far as the other man was con-
cerned. He was much heavier In the

some awful swinging and Simmons was
remarkably active IN getting out OF the
WAY. In the last or third round Simmons

the last moment. when the Prince woke
up and iolted Simmons twice. Then the

the wonderful geometrical figures cut by
the men Ak they cavorted around the ring.
The next was Il three-round three-min-
use go between Jack Moore. of Seattle.
ard Jack Regain. of San Francisco. They
weighed i25 each. Moore appeared In good
condition. Regan's body was too white.
In the first round Regain gave Moore the
biggest surprise he has had I'm many
moons. Moore could not reach him with
his left but Regain was continually COM
Ing back with his LETT. He outpolnted
Moore decidedly Ia this round. There was
change IN the second. Moore was look
ing for trouble and Regain was n trife too
confident Moore got in one Of his terrific

the chin. If Il had been an inch lower.
there is no telling what would have hap
