Boxing nouts Held Last NIGHT.

In lieu of the Mullin- Evans bout
scheduled last night but called off
owing TO the illness of little Dickey

ed off his feet a couple of times, he
seemed to enjoy the pummeling
hugely. Two other bouts between
Dan Downey and Roy Stuart and be-
tween "Whirlwind" Scott and Bert
Swaney were held and both exhibit
