dent of the local lodge, E. Cooper, was
decorated with the badge and compli-
mented highly upon his successful

amount is received via the Whiteman
Brothers barge line The latter shipments

Interesting Boxing Contest.

The boxing contests pulled off at Cleye-
land Park last Sunday afternoon were
witnessed by crowd of fans variously
estimated at between 500 and 500, and
proved very interesting and entertaining.
The preliminary bout was a Ground 90
between George Pfster, of Donaldsonville,
and Joseph Methodist, of Whitecastle,
which was declared draw The young
sters put up rattling good scrap and
went at each other hammer and tongs as
long as their strength held @out. The
honorS were about evenly divided and the
referees decision was received with ap-
proval.
Adam Smith and Soldier Dennis, of
New Orleans, were scheduled to mix
things up in the main bout of the matt
nee, but Smith produced a physicians
certificate stating that he had been i'll for
a couple of weeks and was not in condi-
tion to enter the ring. Promoter Flynn
made an explanation to this effect, add
ing that Smith was on hand and would
60 in and scrap Dennis if the crowd in
sisted, but that if he were excused from
appearing Martin koenig, a husky youth
from Galveston, Texas, would tackle the
soldier in his stead. The crowd assented
to this proposal and Dennis and Koenig
proceeded to get together. The engage
meut was a sparring match, pure and
simple, and failed to furnish any great
amount of excitement or sport koenie
is probably twenty pounds lighter than
Dennis, and although he put up a game
fight and gave good account of himself
despite the handicap of his lack of weight,
TIE general opinion seemed TO be that
Dennis played with him throughout the
greater part of the scrap and could have
put him out had he cared. to. The bout
went ten rounds and was declared draw. |
The officials were Teddy Baltz, of Baton |
Rouge, referee, and Dr. T. A. Mitchell, of |
Houma, timekeeper. Promoter Flynn of
Iiciated as referee of the preliminary |
event and DR.. Mitchell held the watch.
