STAG BRINGS OUT
LARGE AUDIENCE
More Than $50 Men Enjoy Entertain.

line Association.

One great success is the verdict Of
between $50 and 375 men regarding
the big free-for-alf stag which was an
event of last evening at the Moline
Y. NJ. c. a. The entertainment was
without fault and there we're thrill
ers" galore for the many men who
we're fortunate in being present.
Feature OF the evening was the Pfaf-
Gordon boxing match, which is de-
cIared to have surpassed MANY nro-
fessional tilts. For three rounds the
men put on one Of the fastest exhfbi-
tons of the pugilistic game ever wit
messed in Moline, and it was impossi-
BILE to declare advantage for either.
No less exciting was the Howard
Smith fencing match Foils were used
instead of broadswords, due to mis-
understanding Of the agreement. The
men were on even terms most of The
six minutes they opposed one another,
although Howard seemed to have a
slight advantage in reach. Twice his
Davenport opponent succeeded in dis
arming him. however.
Further contributions to the pro-
gram of the evening were Eddie Ham
