BY e. z. rHommedieu

There is a new boxing champion on
automobile row. Harry Bogen now holds
the title. Last Friday a discussion arose
between Bogen and Paul Nehauf. the
representative of the Garage equip
ment company of Milwaukee, as to sl.v
was the better boxer. To settle the
question it was decided to go three
rounds at the Olympic club. the loser
to pay for the dinner. BY the time
the match was made seven of the
in the dinner. among them being j.
w. Fulton, another visiting su9dry
dealer. Fulton believed he also was
something of fistic artist. Nehauf
was willing to take Fulton on after
he had finished with BOgen- The
seven went to the club and the con-
test was held. Bogen began to lead
with a series of left jabs that soon
ruby red and brought the contest
to close with left hook over the
heart. When the latter was brought
around Fulton insisted on his turn,
and Nehauf was game. He saw
chance of winning the dinner. Full
ton was there on points, as the Bogen
go had somewhat lessened Nehauf's $
speed The referee, however, decided
II draw, and it was suggested that
the two shake dice to see who would
pay for the dinner. Fulton objected
10 tnlS as he JnOUSnL tndL lie IdQ won
and would rather pay for the dinner
than shake for it, At the suggestion
of George Mountz, one of the party,
they all decided to draw mum bers
Mountz had posted the others, and
he put seven cards in the hat all bear
ing the number Z. When the drawing
took place every number but 7 was
called until it was up to Nehauf. and
he acknowledged that after having to
stand the battering of two contests
he still had TO pay for the dinner,
which he did still being in ignorance
of the game that was played on him.
