TEST between Kid Bell and the Cohso
coon was arranged, which was seLI oti

ter the finishing battle.
The only disappointment Oh tne S t,oai-

bnys They had evidently agreed 10
nov nicely and smoothly to draw out
tbe fans refused to stand for the tame
and disgusting affair. and Manager
McCarev ordered Referee Blake TO DIS
miss them from the ring in the hItn
round after they had been warned
three times to make showing.
For their framing and crookeuhess
in agreeing to go on Tor Hslie "i ~

barred forever from participating fur-
fher in Maud Junction ring AFFAIRS.
Though they had had no training, they
understood that they were to hght
when they went into the arena, anu
under the circumstances should nave
been tossed out of the ring IN the
second round. A detailed description
of the seven bouts will be found below;
Bait Wins smuggling Bee
Kid Raft and Young Earn appeared
in the first four-round session. Eatt
Dossessed far superior knowledge OF the
game and in the first round nearly had
| his less wise but equally game oppo-
nent almost out the latter being grog-
gy and taking the count twice. Earn
saved himself by connecting with fear
ful right swings. In the second ana
third Earn staggered around the ring,
hardly able to raise his hands, but
came up fresh in the fourth and final
round Earn sailed in and a moment
after the round began got over one or
his haymakers for which ne mad urea
throughout the bout. 1t landed on
Bats nose and he bled in streams un-
| til the final bell. 1t was the only good
punch delivered by Earn in the fight,
| and had he connected with few 9TH
ers he would have put Bait to sleep
speedily. However, Bait deserved the
decision on points.
.4ousIer Knocked Out
Norman Stone entered the ring to
meet Harry Housler for the next four
rounder Housler outweighed Stone sew
eral pounds, but was handicapped by
an aldermanic paunch. In the first
round Hausler started off by landing
several stiff haymakers, and chewea
gum vigorously. He was unable to hit
Stone with effect and Norman slammed
on his jaw hard enough to send him
to the floor half a dozen times in the
opening period. Housler's underpinning
was weak, and he dropped once with
out being hit At the end of the round
he stood in midring until his seconds
| led him to his corner. and he dropped
into his seat like a log. In the second
Stone jumped in to end it quickly.
After repeated knockdoWns and slips.
during which Stone twice unintention-
ally struck his large opponent as he
! fell it was seen that Housler was al
most out and his seconds threw in the
| sponge.
Rogers Wins Poor Decision
Roy Rogers and Kid Myers were
next in the final four-round meeting.
! Myers exhibited a hard right that de-
manded the constant attention of Rog-
ers, but they Mixed i'm lively style from
| the first The second round began in
slow measure, but finished like a whirl-
wind, Myers having Roy Sroggy, but
the latter coming back with hard
| short left that sent Myers half way

of the leading, Rogers waiting, fearful
of running into one of Myers long
rangy wallops. Rogers played a stand
off game in the last round, being UNI
willing to mix it, but poked Myers in
the nose and brought the gore Myers
backed away in this period and was the
weaker. Had Rogers mixed it and
| taken a chance he would have scored a
knockout, but the best he could re-
ceive was a poor decision.
White in the Lead
| The siX-round events replaced the
| shorter bouts, and Kid Barnes and
/ Herb White We're the first of these
youngsters After a short exchange
| the boys mixed and Barnes forced
Herb to the ropes, where they show
cred short blows on each others bodies.
| In the first few moments they
snapped hard rights and lefts to the
| jaw, both missing frequently but
singing each other. Herb staggered
his stocky opponent with straight left
| jabs and Barnes exhibited an Unholz
crouch through which Herb smashed
repeatedly.
White walked right up to his man
with his hands down, smashing in
damaging jolts. The Unholz kid awk-
wardly stumbled around the ring. Herb
was so confident that he took all kinds
of chances. In the fourth and fifth
they stumbled around, neither scoring
heavily. though the Unhoiz kid had a
little the better of the fifth. White
stood Barnes off waiting for a chance
and Barnes smashed i'm with three
hard chops. The fifth round ended
much in Whites favor, Herb being al
