Clinton, June 23.-Eddie Croake, Of
this city, who is now the undisputedl
champion pugilist OF Iowa, in either the
welterweight or nliddleweight class.
says he is ready to meet any 145-pound
fighter in the world. His decisive VIC
tories over Perry Queenan, Barney Con-
nors, Walter Norlan and Jimmie Graz
ham has given him good reason to think
himself able to defend the title OF 145
pound champion. He defeated Queenan,
IConnone and Graham with comparative
ease and would have knocked Norlan
out inside OF ten rounds had he not
broken his left hand in the fifth round.
and also tore loose a tendon in his right
arm in the sixth round in the contest
recently pulled OFF at Des Moines Last
Monday night Croake decided the cham
pions1ip of Iowa by defeating Jimmie
Graham in ten rounds of what was to
have been a twenty-five round fight.
Croake entered the ring under 155
pounds, while Graham weighed above
100. Notwithstanding the fact that
Croake gave.away all the weight he cut
Graham into ribbons and made him APP
pear like novice. During the entire
contest Graham never Jared Croake but
once, and failed to land more than a
dozen blows. while Croake landed sew
enty-two blows on the anatomy of his
heavy opponent. Pugilists who have
seen Croake in the ring are unanimous
in saying he is an ideal fighter and pos
sesses all the elements of a born pugi-
list. He is also capable Of standing all
kinds of punishment. He is % years old
and has the best of habits and is a COM
ting man in pugilistle sircles.
