r OCAL fans were treated to big
nights sport at the athletic car
nival in the Business Mems
Gymnasium in the Steiner Emery
Building last night. Professional and
amateur boxing, wrestling, weight
lifting and dumb bell swinging were
all on the card. The large crowd
present enjoyed the entertainment.
Jimmy Grant, the fast little bantam,
and kid" Young, the newsboy cham
pion, both won their bouts in the
feature events, thereby taking another
step to the top of the ladder in their
divisions.
The bout between Grant and Kelly
was by far the treat of the evening.
Kelly is a youngster in-the game who
tips the beam at around 1928 pounds,
and gave Jimmy a tough time of 1t
for eight rounds. Grant got angry in
the ninth. and stopped Kelly with
hard right to the jaw after the latter
had put up one of the greatest scraps
witnessed around here in some time
kid" Young simply added another
victory TO his long list when he
knocked out Eddie Walsh in two
rounds Walsh started after Young
as II ne meant TO stop the neWSDOy
champ in round, but class told, and
Walsh took the count in the second
session.
The three amateur bouts also
brought out some interesting milling
considering that the contestants were
but beginners at the game. All rounds
were cut to two minutes.
Professor Magee gave a great ex-
hibition at dumb bell swinging, and
also put up a good wrestling bout
against Jim Prokos. the Greek de-
mon. The latter, however, won in two
straight falls.
