WHITE HOPES co
-FOUR ROUNDS
To A DRAW
Charley Miller and Soldier
Elder Mix Up in an
Exciting Bout

Big Charley Miller returned to the
four round game last evening and
celebrated by boxing a fast four
round draw with Soldier Elder.
Miller showed more speed than he
ever showed here before, and he
might have won handily enough had
he not been so anxious to register a.
knockout over his bald headed oppo-
nent, who whipped in many a stag
gering blow when Miller rushed.
The contest was replete with the
sort of action which the fans like so
we'll The big fellows cut out all the
fancy frills and went right to 1t.
They were about even up in aggres-
siveness, but the soldier was the bet
ter boxer Miller's superior weight,
however. told IN the clinches, and he
put in many telling blow to the
kidneys when they got in close
The giant carman is not so much
of a clown as he used to be. He
takes himself more seriously and
boxes TO better advantage. However,
he does not cover up enough, and his
carelessness gave the Soldier chance
to bring over several telling rights
TO the law. On two occasions Miller
had a tough time keeping on his
feet as a result of these wallops.
JOHNSON BEATS ExPOsITO
Lee Johnson, the Oakland chocolate
ldron' gave a splendid exhibition of
boxinr against his heavier opponent.
Kid Fxposito of Seattle. Johnson
stepped around like dancing mas
ter and waIloped Exposito with
every blow known to the ring. Had
he been a little more aggressive he
might have registered a Knockout,
hut he won on points all the way.
Fxposito tried to rush Johnson and
My things UP, but the little coon
had his man measured at all times,
and Exposito failed to land one tell
tng nunch. Exposito lost his temper
couple of times and resorted to
rough tactics, but these gained him
nothing. The crowd was with john
son at the finish, and he was urged
to flatten his opponent.

heavyweight, was given draw with
big black Jim Cameron by Referee
Rsrt Mccullough. although the coon
von by many a length. Carroll start

the second period, Mccullough stopped
the battle.
a lad named Willie Smith substi-
tuted for Norman Stone against Har-
