SCHOrIELD BARRACKS, Nov. 29.
A packed house greeted the various
numbers on the card Of the Post Attn,
letic Clubs first smoker, which was
given at the 1st-32nd Infantry amuse-
ment hall last night The show was
a big success and was marked by
classy boxing and excellent manage
ment. The usual delays in starting
such shows and the tiresOme waits be-
tween numbers, we're conspicuous by
their absence last evening. Seven
NUM- crs were on the program and
classy fighters mixed in all Of the
bouts, all being full of action, with
one exception. 1t is doubted if such
an array of first-class talent has ever
appeared in the same ring on the same
night on the island before. This was
appreciated by the audience as was
shown by the generous applause which
greeted the announcement OF each
number If the post athletic club
maintains the caliber of performances
to the standard set last evening, there
is no doubt that standing room will be
at a premium at all future shows.
The Program ".... ..
l. Weight-145 pounds. Payton, de-
partment hospital champion, and
Thompson, the Kanaka Terror of Ha'
vail" This was a real bout and was
fast and furious. Both boys exchanged
wallops and apparently we're in the
ring to settle some grudge. No de.
cisions were given at the ringside, but
it was the opinion of the audience
the bout was draw.

Signal Corps, and Cooper, Troop B, 4th
Cavalry. This was another fast go
and kept the spectators interested
throughout the four rounds. 1t was
featured by mitigating of the hit and
take variety and was most interesting.
Draw.
3. Weight-122 pounds. Pappas,
the fighting Creek and Keegan, Co.

match and met with the disapproval
of the audience, who we're glad when
the pair made way for real fighters

Islands, and Shine, artillery champion.

round
5. Weight-133 pounds. This mum.
Der brought "Bobbie" Moore into the
arena. with Babe" Martin, End In
fantry, as opponent. Martin is good,
little scrapper, but proved no match
for Moore. Moore had Martin groggy
in the third and fourth rounds, the
gong saving Martin from being count
ed out in those rounds. Martin ap-
peared without notice, substituting for
Smith, who was billed to meet Moore.
Smith sustained an injury in training
land could not appear at the milling.
L 6. Weight-135 pounds, De Mott,
4th Cavalry, and Heron, 1st Field
Artillery, mixed in this number Both

fight
