GOOD FIGHTING
AT ORPHEUM

|
4 scene from James Fox. d traincc of
pugilists, the events went smoothly,
and Jimmie Fox after all only did his
usual stunt at the end of q Huihui
contest.
The main bout of the evening was
that between Dave Barry and Mike
| Williams. The former is fighter and
the latter a sailor-at any rate Will
liams met more than his match. It was
a give and take affair between them.
| Barry took little and gave much but
| his friend Williams seemed more will
ing to take than to give and as a result
| Paddy Ryan counted him out. Over
doses of fighting can be taken just as
| overdoses of any stimulant. And fight
| ing is a strong stimulant.
| There were a number of rafting good
| preliminaries. In the first Joe Santos,
the Cyclone Porto R1can,'' matched
his strength and cyclonic movements
| against the brains and fists of China
man, All Sam. No one was hurt badly.
! Tim Murphy, the Australian who is to
/ fight Barry, refereed the match. AT it's
| close he called it a draw. Since his
| fight with Nigel Jackson the Porto
| Rican had had some training and had
| taken off considerable fat.
Then Kid Gelp. a small but sturdy
Camp Mckinley soldier, tried to even
up an old score against Joe Castro,
"the telephone smasher." Tt was very
tough contest. Gelp did the leading
and most of the smashing and did it
very cleanly Both boys kept their feet
fhr011Oho1If the aVanT and uera entitled
to the decision-a draw.
Nigel Jackson, 126 pounds, met Ander-
son, 1876 pounds. Jackson was hooted
on entering the ring. KNOCK his block
off Anderson Smash him in the
breadbasket!'' Wipe away his smile!'
These We're the nature of the jollieS |
levelled at Jackson. In the first round
Jackson INDUCED in his usual grand
stand tactics. But Anderson seemed |
to know where NigeFs jaw was and |
went ashore there frequently. Jackson |
lost considerable wind. The second |
found Jackson pushed through the |
ropes once, receiving some bad ones |
on jaw and head, and then straighten-
ing things at the finish so that the
round could be called an even one. |
Anderson opened the third with two
tremendous swings to Jackson's head.
and in return took from Jackson
smart one on the neck. There were
rapid clinches and mixes and in these
it was case of give and take with
honors about even. Both were weary
in the fourth and nothing effective was
done. Jackson tried for Anderson's
wind in the fifth and seemed to be jar
ring it to some extent. Near the close
of the round he revived and made some
wild rushes at Jackson getting in some
chance and ineffective blows. Ander-
son made wild rushes in the sixth and
last round. He appeared to be bunting
without making any effort to use his
gloves but towards the close of the
round livened up and used them with
good effect on Jackson. 1t was de-
clared draw.
Then came a surprising exhibition.
O'Meara, 130-pound New Yorker, tried
conclusions with heavier man in the
person of Soldier" Latham of Camp (
In the first round the New
Yorker landed light blows and MAIN
tanned such a fine guard that none of |
the heavy blows of the soldier could '
land on him. In the second the New I
Yorker got some sort of a>blow on the I
head and went down. It was not
hard blow and there must have been :
something the matter with MIN. He
was plainly out of business. BY clinch-
ng and hugging he stayed through the
'ound but in the third found the floor
md stayed there. The referee counted
Tim out. Then "Dinc" Davis, a sec
md of the New Yorker, got angry. He :
,ffered to fight Latham with one hand
md when the crowd jeered intimated
hat he would be willing to fight most a
nybody with the little finger of his left F
and. The crowd took this fierceness ,,
,ood naturedly and the matter was
ropped.
Huihui entered the ring at 147 pounds =
nd weday at 157. Weday was too
1T and Huihui was in the pink Of
ondftion He started rushing things ;,
/ the first round. In a way so did h
Veday. Neither one of them were |,
zen to fight in quite this style before. ;,
he first round was made up Of jump
lg, dancing. sparring, and lodging. 2,
he fight had not yet developed into ri
real scrap. In the second little +,
God trickled from Weday's face. h.
uihui had found it. He continued to al
nd it and incidentally found conve- NJ
ent places to land on Weday's body. ri
In the third Huihui made some fast st
Ishes He landed quick and often
Id blocked many of Wedays blows. II
ne latter was slightly groggy. But til
'eday got a new light from some ii
ace He smashed out and brought eli
God from Huihuis nose, and made co
me hard jabs at the body. He went
vagely after the neck of Huihui and az
nded on his body so many times in OF
e concluding seconds of the round ha
at the crowd voted the honors to him. ga
In the fourth Weday Rugged Huihui ce
and when a heavy man an
gs a thin man one of them loses Oh
'ength. Weday got in a right hook
Huihui's neck. There were several fe;
arp interchanges of blows and the in
md could probably be called an co
