POWERS WINNER ::
OF HARD MATCH
Two Straight Falls Secured
on Crystal Manhood
P~reli1minaries

lin ltIhIe feature event of the best
In the feature event of the best
all-around athletic cards pulled off
in this vicinity in some time. AL Pow
ers won in two straight falls from
Ed. Doran of Crystal Friday night at
Keller's hall in East Grand Forks.
The first was secured with a reverse
body hold in .21:30 minutes and the
second was gained in. Is minutes fiat
with a reverse double arm lock.
Doran put up a hard scrap but was
at a disadvantage. In his bout with
Vigfus Olason at Mountain on We'd
nesday night, he was injured in the
back and at the start of the match
Friday night wrenched his knee. AL
went after the Powers animal and
at times had his opponent. in tight
places. The two men were both at
about the same weight. 181 pounds,
n the fam were treated to a hard
bout in spite of Doran's condition.
We're Good P~reliminaries.
A classy list of preliminaries were
staged. The first on the program
was a soft glove sparring match be-
tween two youngsters, who furnished
considerable good naturcd amusement
for the fans. Joe Deitz and Young.
Burton put on the econ prelim and

good fast boxing. Burton had the
best of the matter as far. as. boxing
was concerned. but Deitz failed to
take a lady-like view Of the affair
and forced his opponent throughout
the bout, getting the popular decis-
ion.
Ed. Willett with his wrestling bear
stunt proved a big feature. The bear
has been trained for the past two
months and won a fall on Willett at
the end of sixteen minutes of tuss-
ling. John" went at things deliber-
ately and had his human opponent
guessing a number of times. Tho
bear is of the cinnamon variety. is
eighteen months old and weighs in at
210 pounds. =
Bun Deitz and Peter Brockus, who
calls himself. the Greek demon, put
on an exhibition. The two were we'll
matched as to weight and while
neither secured a fall, a number of
the fans are inclined to think that
the local man is the better of the
two.

IS NOT
YET

Goldfeld, New. Jan. .2o-That there
will be no Johnson Flynn fight in this
state unless 1t is moved away from the
boundary lines was the general optn-
ion here Friday. following a state
ment by the attorney general. The
official calls attention to the revised
crimes and punishment act passed by
the last. legislature. which virtually
sets aside the $1,000 license for prize
fights. Section 1s1 provides a penal
ty of from w to Ave years for prin-
cipals and participants in any fight
with 0 without deadly weapon.
Should death result within a year all
parties. shall he deemed guilty of
granddaughter and punished accord
ingly. This statute is an amendment
to the old dueling law. 1t Is believed,
however. that the bout will be permit
ted under the law legalizing finish
fights II 1t il held in some part Of the
state where whatever financial benefit
accompanying the contest will fall to
Nevada and not to some other state.
