A PUGILISTIC CARNIVAL
NIGHT FEATURE OF GREENFIELD
STREET FAIR FESTIVITIES.
Three Fights in opera House, and One
Knockout Prevented by the Sher-
fn-Rushville Pug Wins.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENFIELD, Ind, Tune 1.-THE pu-
| gilistic carnival came off tonight in Gant's
Opera House, this city, the chief event be-
ing a ten-round contest for points, Mar
outs of Queensbury, between Ed Morris of
Rushville and Ed Dismore of Shelbyville.
for a side bet Of two hundred, the winner
to take IS per cent. of the door receipts.
The house was packed. The first bout was
between a couple of featherweights, Peter
Jackson, colored. from Richmond, and Ern-
est Burns of Kokomo. 1t was a ten-round
contest, and Referee Andy Ward of New
Castle declared the fight a draw. The coll
ored pug could have won had they con-
tinued. The second contest was between
James House Of Rushville and Seraphin
Lemperecer of this city. Lemperecer was
the aggressor and forced the lighting in all
| three rounds, but the contest was a fairly
even one and was also declared a draw.
James Geraghty Of Rushville was time
keeper.
In the chief event the principals, Morris
and Dismore, came into the ring at 10:45
o'clock. 1t was easily to be seen that Morris
had the best of 1t in weight. He weighed
$50 pounds and DisTnore III. Morris was
trained and seconded by George Gordon and
Billy Late, of Cincinnati, while Dismore
was trained and seconded by Jimmy Black
we'll and Jack Collins. of Indianapolis. Jack
Boland. of Indianapolis. was referee and
Dick Wilson. of Rushville, and James Fitz-
| gerald timekeeper. The men were introduced
at IL o'clock and the fight began. Both
spared for an opening and toward the close
found each others faces several times and
Dismore drew first blood with a smash on
Morris's nose. In the second round Morris
was on the aggressive. He played low and
landed some serious body blows. He coun-
| tered on Dismore's head in return for some
he received. The third round was faster
and harder. Norris was more aggressive and
soon had Dismore groggy and clinching.
They broke away and Morris knocked
Dismore down. The S~helbyville pug took all
OF his time to get up and was quickly
the third time to get up, when Morris gave
him a terrible punch and had him out. but
the gong saved him. Dismore's seconds as
sisted him TO his corner, braced him up all
they could and showed him out for the
fourth round. He could do nothing, how
ever, as he was practically gone up. Morris
knocked him up against the ropes In his COR
ner and would soon nave knocked him out
completely, when Sheriff w. H.. Pauly
cree then awarded 1t to Morris. as he won
into his corner and refusing TO stand up,
but he was helpless and could do nothing
else. The Rushville men won a good "wad"
of money. as the Shelbyville sports backed
their man freely. Jimmy Blackwell chal-
lenged Morris for a fight. although he had
only six weeks ago been knocked out in
four rounds by Morris.

out OF employment. All shipments of ore
and fuel to the shelters have been ordered

preparing to reduce their production and
some will close. Almost every industry in
the State will be affected. The strike is
due to the refusal Of the American Smelling

wages for eight hours that it has paid here
