-sHE Twentieth Century A. q he'd
the largest crowd th&t was svsr
1 TANNED into St. NscaoiAs Rink.
The great hall was literally packed 70
the doors" There vas enough to inter.
est tho crowd before tho AlieGoh main
event" won't on. for in the pr~siAmfnas4ss
Jimmy Carroll and Joe Sears noueht Q
rafting four rounds. with lfttls 70 choose
between them. although Carroll was the
mora clever OF the two. And In the
semi-wind.u Young Cashmau and Bun
Anderson did more fghtnS in six rounds
than Papke and Burke wouh do In .
month. eastman was very clever. 10
had the punch OF . bullet. Three times
he ioored Bull" But Anderson was
lead game. He came up slugying aftsR
every knockd own. eastman o Char.
10 White refereed all tho bouts. and
he made the little fellows vod cnnoh-
inS and fight fast and hard.
After the usual dull routine Of an
nouucements. the Marquis Of 0useos-
berry was solsmniy introoucsd ~
Johnny Dunn. h followed the intro
duction by looking round expectantly.
But the Marquis failed 10 maaeriaiise.
Finally he did stand up on a scat half
a dozen rows back from tho platform
and try TO max a speech. He was
nicely decked out In his TUX" and
looked happy. Nobody could hear what
lie was saying. Eventually some dis
courteous person behind called out in .
shriii voice: sit down-Mar-cheasei-
And the Marquis sat down again
~APKE came into tho ring hrst and
was welcomed with q cheer. He
walked about for several minutes
testing the platform with his feet and
pulling the ropes. He was smiling anc
unconcerned. Burke came In smiling
and a, once went through tho ok
stage trick OF rushing over to his riva
and examining the bandages on hi
hands. Much talk in the middle OF th'
ring. and AT last the bell rang.
Burke rushed across and hooked HI
left 10 Papke's nose. There was a loni
cl,nch, Burke holding Papke's left arm
while White argued and tried 20 pul
them apart. A. they boxed slonI
Papke seemed heavy M logy an.
painfully slow. They clinched and hun
TO zach other and punched IN IN
ehnches. while White pleaded and ar
gusd and iectnred them. II was
miperably slow and slovenly exhibition
After the bell had rung the end G
the three minutes they broke froT
a hug and Papke pulled back hts rigf
and blufed two or three times, as
he intended 70 strike another blow
Perhaps he thought that would nal
the crowd think he was really nghtin
Bu the crowd only Kissed and boos
dismally.
In the second round tho wrestl;I
went on. while White begged them
break. why dom you step back7 l
~disqualify you" shouted White. b
me boxers paid nc attention TO hi
Finally he began pushing IN betwe,
and prying them apart At the end
the round Papke made his blum OF x
ing on hghting-and again the croy
groaned and Kissed. It was 10 clear
a h~ippodrome.
When the third round OF wrestli,
Vas over they continued 10 hold a
Jug for several Eecondn after the be
More Misses. All over the house IN
were whistling the Merry widow
waltz. Take 'em Off! yelled the d
gusted spectators 10 White, who or
waved his hands helplessly. As Bur
turned toward his corner Papke stru
him in the face with a light left.
this time the crowd was satisfied N
II was nothing more or less than a plg
fake Papko's actions indicated notkl
else. 'ooh-ooh" hooted the crowd.
they came up for the -four
"A White warned them again. Bur
rushed and Papke suddenly ca
TO life and slammed him all over
