well the lovers of boxing missed
a treat by not attending the boxing
contest given by the Eagles in East
Grand Forks last evening. The six
round go between Keller and Bruny
was as good a six-round contest as
l ever saw. 1t was for blood from
the word time. and there was much
clever and hard punching action for
the six rounds. Any referee. If there
was decision given, would call it q
draw.
''The wrestling match was for blood
from the call of time and the pre-
liminaries were A No. 1. Great cred
it can be given Jim Odber for put

Dcitz Knows Game.
The Greek wrestler is we'll supplied
with strength but he doesn't know a
hold that he can apply with any de-
gree Of success. At breaking holds
he is adept and three times broke
away from q nasty wrist lock, twice
from a leg scissors and once from an
arm and leg scissors. Half nelson's he
wiggled out of them without trouble.
With Deitz 1t Is different. He has the
scientific end Of the game down to a
fine point and he was the aggressor
all the way through the match. He
took holds at will but experienced no
little trouble in keeping them. He
repeatedly picked the Greek off the

a quarter Of tusseling he locked a
half nelson and krotch hold that
Tsompots couldn't break and the for
eigner was pinned down for the first

an army and body scissors after four

changes were made in the card. Kid

to a case Of the mumps. and Curly

Sullivan's limbs is trifle shorter

not keep him from putting up good
battle. He has oodles of science, al
though a mere lad and his phantom-
like shade before jab is remark
able. Young Purcell. also a lad Of
IA years, is a promising pugilist and
he performed in excellent style. He
failed to defeat Sullivan. however. but
earned a draw in every round. Both
placed and received some snappy
punches.
Colorcd Boys Go.
Two colored men. Jack Collier and
Roy Mason, went in for Saunders and
Dahl. due to the failure of Saunders
to show up. The substitution was
probably better than the scheduled
