fans by going down beforeH BOT
er of his own weight, and 3Neelx
drew the admiration OF thetrow4
by his tremendous speed, fast
rushes. and clean boxing. II Was
one of the best matches ever wit
messed in Tacoma.
Paul Steele ana Al Mosler were
the second good feature on the
program. Both boys are as light
on their feet as tOe-dancers AMI
although neither has a hard
punch, they are both possessed OF
some uncanny knowledge of the
ring game that makes their every
move interesting. Ii was q wei
deserved draw.
If Ike Cohen and Frank Farm-
er had boxed longer, IL is doubt
fui whether Frank would have
gained a decision. Cohen took
all manner of punishment and
had Farmer well tired out at the
end of four rounds. The Fight
ing Hebrew" was fat, but had ap-
parently unlimited endurance.
Jack Johnson proved to be no
match for Casey" Jones, the
South Tacoma blacksmith, and
went down in the second round.
Referee Lee Croft called the
match off, much to the evident
satisfaction of Johnson. Archie
stoy outboxed Battling" Wolff
and gained the decision. Wolff
snapped a bone In his left wrist
in the last round, and will be out
of the game for several weeks.
All in all. last nights smoker
was one of the best cards staged

Jack Root, the St Helens. Ore,
white hope who came to Tacoma
with a much heralded record, and
who entered the ring with joe
Bonds at the Moose smoker last
night, developed into a prize
ounce as a fighter.
Whether the Moose athletic
committee was not careful in
making a match for Bonds, or
was slipped some soft bunk by
Roots friends. Is not divulged,
but at any rate the lodge officials
are as sore today over the match
as were the fans.
The match was nothing to
Bonds credit, although he knock
ed Root down for eight counts in
the second round. and Eddie
MeFino, Roots second, threw up
the sponge. For Bonds did not
have to extend himself at any
time. and Root showed absolute
