boxing game as compared to a boy
like Beecher, but he certainly vas
trying to win by the knockout route.
Beecher stepped around the ring and
hit the Greek at will. He boxed
him right off his feet in every round.
In the third round he started the
blood flowing from the Greeks nose.
and as fast as his seconds shut it off
boxer opened up the flow again.
.Vassiliou missed at least a hundred
swings of sufficient force to upset the
big smelter stack, but 1t was a case
of nobody home. He had no idea of
when to swing, and when he turned
1t loose you could drive a Packard
automobile between him and Beecher
who simply stepped out of the
way with perfect ease and smiled.
Beeeher kept tormenting the Greek
with blows from every side, and at
the same time made vassiliou miss
lust when he wanted to.
In the fifth round the Greek demon
showed that he appreciated the Sc
robustness of the situation. He looked
down at his seconds appealing for
instructions, and the expression on
his ace was like that of a wild cat
in a cage looking out upon a large
audience of tormentors.
Referee Happy Jack" Meagher
called the bout a draw, and there
seem to be many who feel If both
men are on their feet strong and
fighting at the end of the bout they
are entitled to a draw. This is GER
tainly a mistaken idea and not war
ranted by any rules of the game.
When a mar wins every round as
Beecher did in this go he is entitled
to the credit by the referees decis-
ion in his favor.
The house was by no means as
big as it should have been considering
the attractions offered. The card
presented was as good as is ever of
fered il any large cities, and full,
sixty per cent better than the aver
age. Promoter Tom Chambers is en-
titled to great credit for the high
standard to which he has raised the
sport in this section and the head
liners he has brought in here from
all over the west. He finds 1t an ex-
pensive luxury, however, and states

, fcient for the public good and Is o
, wiling to let someone else try it out
!, This is to be regretted and 1t IL hoped
that Tom will yet see his way cleal
