though needing wind badly, was
still in splendid shape. Had the
bout gone further, ringsiders be-
lieve Farmer would have won a
kayo.
The crowd went wild over
Farmers victory. 1t was the fast
est, most sensational fight staged
here in the memory of most Of
the fans. The Glide rink was an
arena of cheering, shrieking hu-
manity after Referee Art Schock
held up Farmers hand in token
of victory. Murray, who had
been Kissed for his financial bick-
erings before the battle, gained
further disapproval by sticking
his own hand into the air after
the bout was over, in an attempt
to cast the impression that he
had won.
Farmers victory is the turning
point in the big boxers career.
Tacomans may expect to see the
Kapowsin boxer make a name

ing in his style of last night.

preliminary EVENTS
FAST and EXCITING

Paul Steele's card of prelim-
inaries at last nights Glide rink
smoker furnished a good two
hours fun.
The first bout was the "sur-
prise event" Two youngsters,
diminutive in stature, but UNI
usually we'll developed, hoped
into the ring, each wearing black
masks that covered their entire
heads. They were introduced as
Young Sammy, the Mysterious
and kid Howard, the Masked
Marvel" The boys boxed a fast
three rounds, and were well APP
plauded.
AL whitman, in the first event,
boxed a speedy four rounds with
Ray Hunt, winning easily. Hunt
was on the defensive throughout.
He was slower than his opponent,
and would have lost decisively If
Whitman had been possessed of a
punch.
Because the Pete brothers of
Wilkeson refused at the last min
ute to appear, acting under or
ders, it is said, of their Tacoma

He did it for a principal. He
did 1t because he wanted to see
Paul Steele get square deal"
The crowd cheered to the echo.
Il have very serious an
nouncement to make" continued
the speaker. There seems to be
a strong undercurrent in Tacoma
working against Paul. We all
believe that Steele is on the
square, but he is being fought
continuously"
Cries of "Biddy Bishop"
Where's Biddy!" Hes the
mani" filled the air. Kisses and
boots followed.
Frank Farmer, who was wait
ing in his corner of the ring,
jumped up.
Yes, Bishop is the man." he
shouted
Bishop had remained In the
rear Of the hall, in close proxim-
ity to the exits, during the show,
instead Of occupying his custom
airy ringside seat.
Although some in the crowd
shouted demands that he stand
up and explain his attacks on
Steele, he kept under cover and
lowered near the door. He slip
ped out Immediately after the
bout.
Frank Farmer relinquished all
claims on purse last night, in
order that Steele's smoker would
be a success. Fans tossed SIG
into the ring for him, as a mark
of their appreciation.
It is probable that a return
match between Farmer and Muir
ray will be staged within a
month. Paul Steele will handle
the affair, and will undoubtedly
get a capacity audience for his
next event.

SPORT WRITER
Is KISSED BY
SMOKER CROWD

"Biddy" Bishop, boxing pro-
moter, manager of fighters, and
sport writer, was openly Kissed
and hooted by 500 men and
youths at Glide rink last night,
because of bitter opposition ere
ated against Paul Steele, local
physical culturist, who staged
the Murray-Farmer smoker.
1t was the first demonstration
of its kind seen here, in the mem
DRY of the Oldest fans.
The Kissing came at time
when il looked as though the
main event of the evening might
be called off.
Frank Farmer had signed to
box on a percentage, but Murray
had signed articles for a stipulat-
ed purse. The open opposition to
Steele's smoker, together with
last nights inelement weather,
had caused comparatively small
audience to appear, and when the
receipts were counted up, Steele
found that ii would be 5000 in
debt IL he put on the main event.
Samuel Huntington stepped in
to the ring and explained the sit
uation. He appealed to the pa
triotism of the fans, telling them
that If 500 was subscribed, Muir
ray would go on with the match.
Dollars and half-dollars began
raining on the canvas of the ring.
In five minutes $50 had been
subscribed.
Then Eddie Bates, of the Bates
Clothes shop, owner of the Bates
City league baseball team, signed
check covering the $40 re-
mainder.
Still Murray bickered over the
price. The crowd became I'M
easy. A rumbling of suppressed
sentiment against Bishop, who
was generally understood by the
fans to have been responsible for
the many stumbling blocks put
in the way of Steele, began to
take effect.

to do was spar four rounds with
a dub" and then collect the
money.
Twenty seconds after the first
round started, however. Murray
changed his mind. The look of
surly indifference on his face
changed to surprise. Instead of
doing the leading, Murray had to
assume the defensive. Instead
of chasing the logger about the
ring, the Petaluma boy was rush
ed off his feet. He took more
blows in the face and body that
first round than he had expected
would be exchanged in the whole
battle.
Farmer continued his rushing,
slashing style throughout the
battle. He won every round.
In the second Murray was
groggy, but came back slightly.
Murray landed a few blows, but
contented himself with inside
punches to the solar, and clinch
blows to the kidneys.
At the end of the match
Murray was bleeding from right
