Abe Label, of San Francisco, and
Louie Hahn, of Seattle, spared fif-
teen rounds to a draw Monday even
ing in one of the cleverest and clos
est contests seen in North Yakima in
many a day. Both men at the end
of the contest failed to show a scratch,
except Labels back, which got onto
the ropes. Not a drop of the claret
was drawn during the contest, neith-
er was there a clean knock down
though both men went down and
against the ropes several times in
rushes and clinches.
The men weighed at the ringside
tipping the scales at 1921 pounds
each. In addition to being evenly
matched in weight the two were well
matched in skill, though Hahn was
more nimble on his feet. Five-ounce
gloves were used. They fought ac-
cording to the straight Marquis of
Queensbury rules, each fighter to pro-
tect himself at all times. There was
a 1air-sized crowd that seemed pleas
ed with the entertainment. Charles
A. Cassidy was referee of the main
bout, and JONES Leslie was timekeep-
i.
and the police magistrate occupied
ringside seats to see that there was
fair play. The contest was pulled off
at the Yakima theater under the aus
pieces of the Golden Gate Athletic club,

A Wrestling Match

bout, between John Karpilow, the

man landed more often and more ef-
