TOE THOMAS, a black haire

ZOE THOMAS, a black haired
lad from New Orleans, gave
- championship exhibition of
boxing at the Orpheum theater,
when he defeated Tommy O'Keefe,
a game, stocky young man from
Philadelphia, in the fastest ten
round bout ever seen in this part
of the good old L. S.
O'Keefe was on the receiving end
of a continuous bombardment for
seven of the ten Spasms. In three
sessions he held the wiry, fast and
hard hitting Pelican even. The
first, eighth and ninth rounds were
even. The others were Thomas by
a city block.
TN his battle with Frank Whitney
L Thomas displayed a heap of
good boxing ability. But last night
he was just twice as good as he
was against the Fighting NCarpen-
ter. He was faster, hit straighter
and his blows carried more snap.
At range he boxed with the clever
ness of an Attell. In the clinches
he displayed all the famous quail
ties that made Joe Walcott buga-
boo to champions.
O'Keefe has two lightning fast
hands, but fast as he would Jap
with his left or cross with his right
Thomas nine times out of ten beat
him to the punch. Joe didn't have
to block Tommys leads. Instead
he simply got his own blows home
first. the best kind of a guard if it
may be called such.
Thomas has as good a pair or
legs as he has hands, He stepped
around O'Keefe as though he was
a bantam, and lefts and rights, some
straight and others hooked, kept
battering off O'Keefe's head and
wind
OKEEFE looked like ali even
~ money shot at the end or the
first round. For three minutes the
lads stood off and swapped punch
es. Thomas appeared to be ilttle
off in his Judgment of distance and
at the bell a right hook that landed
hard on the jaw just did give the
Pelican an even break.
In the second round Thomas
opened up with everything in his
battery. He worked into close
quarters and ripped up two rlght
uppercuts that hurt O'Keefe. AS
they broke Thomas worked right
hand half pivot wallop to the wind
-Four times did Joe jab without
return and then as O'Keefe came In
with lowered head, Thomas caught
him with a terrible right to the jaw.
A straight left opened a cut on
Thomas lip.
The third round opened with
Thomas shooting three lefts to the
head and at close quarters two
rights to the stomach. Thomas
then jabbed seven times and
O'Keefe couldn't seem to fathom
any way to stop the punches. A
hot mix in the center of the ring
belonged to Thomas.
Thomas swung both hands to the
head in the fourth and O'keefe
covered. Then Thomas opened u
bombardment that looked as though
it would surely stop the Quaker
But Tommy weathered the storm
O'Keefe swung a left low and Ref
cree Saul cautioned him. In an
other exchange O'Keefe again hit
low, but it was an accident and the
boys shook hands. At the bell
Thomas swung a terrible right to
the jaw and O'Keefe was a bit
groggy as he went to his corner.
The fifth round found both boys
willing to do most of their milling
head to head. The round was fast,
but the blows landed were hard to
see. Thomas had O'Keefe weak

He began boxing professionally

he has been a fighting man for
nine years. In that time he has

class, and were he a few pounds
lighter would have an excellent
chance TO win the lightweight title.
The stocllyards boy has had more
than a hundred fights and has
never been knocked out. The ma

won through the agency of his own

is never backward.

HOOD RIVER, OREG., Sept. 70
The North Pacific Fruit Exchange has
entered the Hood River field for the
first time in competition with the
North Pacific Fruit Distributors for
the handling Of the Hood River Val
ley apple crop this season that will
approximate 1000, coo boxes.
1t is learned that a large number
who signed up for the distributors
are crawling out Of their contracts
by selling their crops to their wives,
who did not sign the original CON
tracts, and they in turn are signing
up half with the exchange and half
with the distributors.
on this basis 1t Is figured that
whichever concern reports the best
returns this season will control the
valleys output for next season. II
is reported that the matter Of "fuk-
ing" out OF contracts by selling the
crop to wives who did not sign the
original contracts may be tried in the
