Two Men Get Credit for Knock
ing Out a Man and a Half
Each-Carlin Gets Hand.

SClIOFlELD BARRACKS. Decem.
Der %. Tonight's fight card at the In.
fantry Amusement Han here drew
forth big crowd Of fans, all things
considered, everything turned ont well
There was some disappointment
over the fact that Bud Walters rot
cold pedal extremities at the last mo-
ment and refused TO meet Walter Car
lin in the main event which was sched
uled to 20 fifteen rounds. Walters
'ia'm"h that Carlin was overweight,
but this was found to be incorrect,
Carlin actually weighing in and tipping
the scales a few pounds under Walters
The management announced immed-
lately that if anyone was dissatisfied
with the show he would be refunded
his entrance fee and also announced
thnt Carlin had pamelv consented to
take on two men during the evening in
place of Walters. No one left the
hall and none asked for refund, for
the show was, after all, well worth the
price.
In the battle royal between five
Twenty Infantry men, three went
down early in the melee by the X. O..
route, Zeno and Grant remaining to
finish up the fun, but after consider
able time trying to knock each other
out the fight as between them was
called draw and decision was given
in their favor as to the three who had
been placed on the mat early in the
game. In this manner Ieno and
Grant each get the credit for knocking
out a man and a half.
/ The first four round preliminary was
between Willie Woods and Battling
Howard of the Twenty-ffth Infantry.
The bout went the full limit and a
draw was called on the men. 1t was
smart little affair and afforded some
amusement.
The second four round preliminary,
between Bob Stephens and John Turn
bull, of the Fourth Cavalry, was fast
| and furious one, Turnbull, who claims
to have been the lightweight champion
| in the British Army in India, being
knocked out cold in the second round.
| \ knock out was also scored in the
| semi.fnal, which was scheduled TO 90
eight rounds Ollie Pinnell easily got
away with Dandy Kyle and had him
counted out in the second round. 1t
was good while it lasted, but the fun
was cut short when Kyle bit the dust
and was unable to come to in time to
face his opponent again.
In place of fighting Bud Walters
who at the last moment refused to
meet him in the main event which
was to 20 fifteen rounds, Carlin took
up two men in four-round bouts. In
the first bout he dispatched Billy New
man, of the Fourth Cavalry, by the
knockout route and did this In the
third round After five minutes rest
Carlin took on Theodore Filings, OF
the Hospital Corps. but as he failed
10 put Filings to sleep before the end
of the fourth round, the bout was de
clarcd draw, this being the under
standing in both eases.
Carlin g efforts to please the aud
icnce were well received and he was
givcn a good hand on his appearance
in the ring. He is easily one of thu
most popular men in the game at the
post and his work tonight made hin
still more popular favoritc.
Sergeant Morgan of the Twenty-tiftl
Infantry refereed the preliminary
bouts while Major Butt of the sam'
regiment refereed the scmifinal an,
the main event, Both did good worl
and proved satisfactory to principal
and fans alike.
