- recall the TWO bouts between Able
Artel and owen Moran. Neither Of
these bouts had a satisfactory conclu-
sion and left rather Disappointing
taste in the mouths Of the ught fans.
Both fights ended IN draws and in each
instance the decision Of the referee
was highly commendable. But for all
this the fight fans were dissatisfied.

Kefchel was out driving his automobile Tues
