It is not difficult to under
stand why such play as I'm Old

day nights, enjoys practically the
same popularity today that 1t did
when 1t made its first appear
ance many years ago. 1t stands

dramatic form to that interesting

anyone would care to see. There
wasn't a shade of difference In
the skill or strength of the two
boys.
The heavyweight battle be-
tween Oscar Madison and Os-
car Foss was q funny affair.
They boxed one round, nedth-
err boy doing any heavy hit
ting. At the end Of the round
MattsOn calmly got out OF the
ring and walked away. Some
of his seconds announced AFT
erwards that MattsOn had
just recently had some fine
dental work done, and he was
afraid that FOss might lOOs-
en- his newly-made teeth and
cause him another siege in q
dentists chair.
Jack LABEL of Seattle won q
decision over Dick Loft of the
Smelter. Both boys were willing
and aggressive.
Vince Moore of Seattle received
a dream tablet from Harold Jones
of the Shelter at the end of one
minutes mixing. 1t was Jones
bout all the way.
Billy Lyons, the fast little fly
weight of the Shelter, also en-
joyed brief nay in the ring, after
Greeley Manning OF Seattle had
followed left to the solar plexus
with right to the jaw. Billy
wanted to keep on boxing after
he awoke, but the fatal count of
10 had already been tolled off.
The Smelter boys all showed
the results of McIntyre's careful
training. They should put up
some good scraps after they are
better developed.
