There is no doubt that the constitution

To Il convention. Among the amendments
that should be secured is one extending

ERNEST LUCIEN is BEATEN BY
cIEVE BRIDGES IN EIGHT
ROUNDS.

Although he put up game fight, Kid
Lucien, of our district, lost to Cleve
Bridges, a Memphis boy, in eight
rounds at the Phoenix Athletic Club,
Memphis, Monday night. Bridges
picked out Lucien's stomach as a tar
get, and landing hard and often, won
from the invading ringman throughout
the whole bout.
Lucien did the leading and continu-
ally went into clinches. This beins to
the Memphian's liking, Lucien was out
fought at close range, and in every
round he would have Lucien covering
up in clinches to avoid his body blows
Lucien used a right swing continually,
and in the second round drew blood
from Bridges nose, but most OF his
swings went wide of their mark. Both
boys were apparently in good shape at
the finish of the mill.
