AZ previously anticipated, larg
and enthusiastic audience gathered IL
Rink Hall last Saturday evening T.
view the advertised contest betweel
Bert Williams OF ronopah and Billy
lucas whose home is lloughton Mich
igan.
While the main event was reall.
the attraction which drew the audi
ence. vet unusual interest was mani
tested in the four-round preliminary
between Asa Boyer OF Yerington ant
Bert White OF Tonopah.
These lads entered the ring at about
o:2O. followed by Eddie Eyton, who
refer eed both the preliminary ano
main events.
Evton il troduced the lighters, both
OF whom were cordially received by
the audience. all OF whom knew Boyer
whose residence here has won hin
many friends White, though re.
cent arrival has won many admirers
training his principal Williams.
After receiving instrctions from the
referee, the gong sounded and Boyer
led with rights and lefts TO his oppo
nent's head Quick footwork and
clever dodging saved White, who at
tempted twice TO reach Boyer's head
with left punches, but Asa being in
prime physical condition blocked the
advances. Both worked hard, each
landing a number OF harmless but well
intended blows. The gong sounded
with points in favor of Boyer.
The second and third rounds were
practically repet tons of the first, with
the addition that each fighter tired to
put his opponent out. Owing to ms
strength and agility, together with
his smashing leads, Boyer won both
these rounds.
As the gong sounded for the fourtl
and last round the fighters started III
each apparently determined to put the
other fellow out. Boyer forced the
fighting. landing many blows upon
body and head of his opponent, who
showed signs OF distress toward th,
end OF the round. but managed to
keep his feet until the finish of the
bout. The decision in favor OF Boyer
met the hearty approval OF the audi.
ence.
With but few minutes interval
after the preliminary, Lucas entered
the ring with his seconds, followed
quickly by Williams and his handlers
The men were introduced by referee
Eyton and the demonstration that fol
lowed indicated that both had made
good impressions during the time they
have been in the community. Botl
men appeared to be in the best Of
condition
The referee announced that the con
testants had agreed to fight under

the blows or got away from them by
his clever foot work.
During the first two rounds the
points were. evidently in favor OF
Lucas, although Williams would dance
away from dangerous efforts and then
rush his opponent, landing several
| heavy blows i'll the second round
Making number of terrific but in
effectual rushes, Lucas saved himself
repeatedly by clinching, during which
Williams played a constant tattoo
upon his opponents kidneys During
the second round Lucas began to
show the effect of the pace he start
ed. Just before the gong sounded
during the last clinch Williams
slapped the kidneys, and then to show
his strength lifted Lucas off his feet
and tossed him backward just as the
gong sounded.
At the signal for the third round
Lucas showed pronounced distress
while Williams seemed stronger than
ever, doing most clever foot work and
rushing his opponent, landing hard
body blows and several vicious upper
cuts. Though beginning to show his
distress, Lucas fought so gamely dur
ing the third and fourth rounds tina;
would have been difficult to decide
which would have been entitled tc
the round.
In the fifth round, however, thc
ighting was forced by Williams, who
Kept playing and reaching for his op-
ponent's head for the knockout I.u
,as replied savagely, but his blows
we're generally blocked. Toward the
nd OF the fifth round Williams drove
/ hard right to Lucas body, followed

seventh round with the determination

As in the preliminary. both mer
made friends The agreement was tc
divide the purse seventy per cent tC
the winner and 30 per cent to The
oser. After the fight Williams in
sisted on an even division. showing
clean, sport smanlike disposition. As
neither man had financial backing, tht
division was especially generous, ow

small. Seldom if ever has there beer
