Coal In q pleasing three-round af-
fair. As usual Farley furnished both

After mat It kept him busy in deep
breathing exercises.

good bout. Pvt W. NJ Wilson and
Pvt ". A Wilson did not state

round bout Peters evidently came
Of fighting stock however, for he in
sisted on going the rest OF the route
greatly to the admiration OF the fans
and the two finished the scheduled
rounds. Peters was far cleverer than
his opponent but sadly neglected the
right side Of his face When Davis
dropped Peters IL was by wild blow
which Davis was not keeping account
Of Later, how ever he discovered
how he did x and repeated the per
Torrance with the exception that he
reserved the power behind his Jolts.
Davis is q very strong lad and with
some coaching BY an experienced man
should make good.

injured by one OF Schultz's sleoge
hammer blows but he managed 10
cut loose sUme hard ones with the

difficult TO win by a decisive victory
Brown displayed the more science OF
the two but when they got TO mixing
(which was most Of the time
Kelley showed that ''Roughhouse" is
wen said. Poor wind soon reduced
both heavies to a state where once
dangerous punches were no more
dangerous than love taps and both
were in good shape after the bout
as soon as they caught up with their
wind
