weather prevailed. The sun shone
brightly. Just before the prelim-
mary boys entered the ring for the
first contest, the betting commits
stOners circulated among the spec
tators with SIS Nelson money
against 500 on Moran. These odds
remained practically unchanged up
to the time of the big fight. Prompt
~ at 1880 Kid Barnes and Marty
Kane entered the ring for the first
event Of the day, a six round cur
tain raiser. A minute later Billy
Jordan sang out Let 'er co." and
the boys were off.
The first preliminary was de-
clared a draw. Both men were
willing and game and went to 1t
hammer and tongs from beginning
to end. In the fourth, Barnes open
ed Kane's left eye wit ha right
swing. The blood spurted forth in
a stream. dying both fighters. De-
spite his injuries Kane fought
gamely to the end, but in the final
round stood up and slugged for
half a minute with Barnes. The
draw decision was received with
cheers. The men fought at 120
pounds.
Rufus Williams, colored, and
Lupie Carranza, middleweights, en-
tered the ring at exactly 2 o'clock.
Considerable amusement was cre-
ated when a sailor of the u. s. 8.
Minnesota challenged the winner.
He called himself Battling Robin
son.
When the crowd howled Robin
son was seized with stage fright
and promptly dove out of sight.
The second preliminary only
went two rounds. Near the end of
the second round Carranza got In
the way of terrific right on the
point of the jaw and went to sleep
He toppled over on his back, rolled
on his face and lay still, until his
seconds picked him up and carried
him to his corner. There were
cries of "Quitter" when Carranza
went down, and he was Kissed as
he left the ring.
Just before the main event,
Moran money was offered by bet
ting commissioners at even money.
There were few takers, as nearly
all those who liked the Dane had
grabbed the 10 to money earlier
in the day.

There will be a grand jury,
