BOXING
CARNIVAL
A SUCCESS
Fifteen Hundred See Clean,
Interesting Bill at Fargo
Auditorium

Fifteen hundred Fargo. Moorhead
and northwest boxing fans saw a
clean and interesting bill of the mitt
game at the Fargo auditorium last
night. Every event, from the first
preliminary to the headliner. was a
treat, and not one that left the big
hall at the close of the series of exhi-
billions but was satisfied Of having
received more than his moneys worth.
Jack Doyle, former Fargo Moorhead
outfielder, himself boxer, refereed
the exhibitions.
The opener, between the Moreau
brothers, aged 6 and 7 years, respect
lively, was a hummer. Though lack
ing weight and punch, these little fell
lows gave a good account of them
selves. Joe Ralph and Lyle Davis
acted as seconds.
The second act, a six-round go be-
tween Submarine" Smith of Moor
head, Leo Kossick's ward, and Fritz
Schroeder of Fargo was an even mix.
Smith was clever but was outweight-
ed. ....
Justin curran Of Wahpeton proved
anything but q match for Harry kid"
Hale of Indianapolis, and Arlo Emer-
son, Fargo boxer, was substituted at
the end Of the third round. In the
last three rounds, Emerson forced the
milling, keeping the shifty Hoosier on
the defensive.
Sailor Benson of Fargo gave
Boscoe Brown of Moorhead more
than he was looking for in their four
round tilt. Browns lack of condition
began to show in the second round,
and he was an "all in" athlete when
the gong announced the close of the
match.
The Leo Kossick- Kid Stevens clash
was some noise, and gave the crowd
a genuine thrill for four rounds.
Stevens, though considerably lighter
than Kossick, showed all kinds of
stuff. being shifty and light on his
feet, and kept the "old master" ex-
tending himself to pull out an edge.
Stevens is another Of Kossick's pu-
pills.
The main go, between the Gibbons
brothers, was, all that the fans could
ask for. Both went after things in
great shape, and speed and punch
were not wasted. Tommy was the
more aggressive, forcing Mike, whose
claim to the middleweight boxing
championship Of the. world has few
dissenting votes, to extend himself
Their exhibition went six rounds.
Tommy Is now in training for his
match with ALI Christie at Milwaukee
next week. 49,.

STORAGE
RAISE IS
DENIED
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, Jan. 20.-The Inter-
state commerce commission yesterday
disapproved proposals by railroads to
double and quadruple storage charg-
es on export grain at elevators In
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Boston, Newport News and other At
lantic ports where such grain is held
longer than so days.
New charges for the storage Of ex-
port grain in cars awaiting unloading
at Baltimore and Philadelphia also
were disapproved.
The proposals, made by the trunk
line railroads, were designed as a
measure to relieve congestion at At
lantic ports and to insure, through
enforcement of penalties, freer flow
of grain through the elevators. They
were opposed by the Baltimore Cham
Der of Commerce, the Commercial
Exchange of Philadelphia and other
similar organizations. A consider
able proportion of the millions of
bushels of grain shipped to Atlantic
ports for export to the warning ma
tions OF Europe, would have been at
fected.
Another intention of the railroads
was to prevent premature shipment
of grain to- the seaboard without ex-
Iport contracts or prior to making ar
rangements for its transportation
The scarcity of ships is said to have
resulted in choking elevators with
grain which could not be moved with
out long delay.
A large number of cars also have
been withdrawn from traffic because
OF congestion at elevators, augment
ing the general car shortage and
tending indirectly to increase the cost
, Of living.
In its decision, the commission
holds that the objects sought by the
railroads should be obtained by other
methods than the one proposed, which
would place heavy penalties on traf-

CIV Associated Press.)

Detroit, Jan. 20.-Hugh Jennings has
Joined with Billy Evans, the umpire,
and other baseball notables in predict
good as an umpire in the American
league. Jennings points out that four
of the chief qualities of an umpire are
fearlessness, keen eyesight, good judg-
ment and ability to cover ground.
These, he claims, are the very qualities
which helped Moriarity make good in
the American league.
Moriarity, they say, never was a star

and his base running enabled him to
hold his job even when he was not in
