Chappetta was given the decision over Sylvester when the latter fouled in the fourth round. He fights Fisse for honors in the 125-pound class to- night.
 The first bout in the 125-pound class was probably the fiercest of all. "Cy- clone' Sylvester and Young Frank Chap petta were evenly matched from the start The first round began with both fighters sparing for opening, clinch- ing frequently. Chappetta was on the defensive most of the time and lodged some hard blows by fast footwork. Sylvester clearly had the advantage of this round. Chappetta opened the second round with hard right to the face and they clinched. Sylvester came back with a left to the jaw and took two fast jabs on the head. They swapped blows to the body as the gong sounded. Chappetta's round In the third round the soldier boy opened with fast right to the face, after which they swapped rights to the body. Sylvester got in a right to the jaw; they clinched and Chappetta put over two left jabs to the face.
 LOST ON FOUL
 After taking two bous blows Chappetta came back with three short punches to his opponents face. Honors even. Both fighters came back fast in the extra round, swapping body licks. Sylvester knocked his opponent down and was ap- parently getting the best of it when he fouled and lost the decision by throw ing Chappetta under the ropes. Referee Riddle named the New Orleans man win ner amid the plaudts of the fans.
 The second bout in the special weight Q5-pound) class was a clean, hard fought match between Virgets of New Orleans and Stevens of Camp McClel Ian. The first round was practically even, with both men sidestepping and ducking. Although Virgets blocked well the Me- Clellan lad rushed him off his feet in the second stanza and had decidedly the best of it. Virgets came back strong in the last round and mora than held his own, but lost the bout on points.

himself must absorb the jobbers' charges and the consumer thus obtains his coal at the same price as where the jobber is not a party to the transaction.
 The new jobbing rules, it is declared, are aimed chiefly at producers who have established selling agencies to reap the benefit of the profit allowed by the gov- ernment to the jobber.
 'The jobber will be cut out of the distributing system," said Fuel Admin istrator Garfield today, "only insofar as he has been getting into a field in which he properly does not belong. The regulations are not aimed at the legi.i- mate jobber"

WLADEK NBSzKO AND JOE STECHER
 BOUT IS DRAW
Famous Polish Wrestler and American Contend for Two Hours Without
 Deciding Fall

New York, March IA catch as- catch-can wrestling match between Wladek Zbyszko of Poland and Joe Stecher resulted in draw at the end of two hours of wrestling at Madison Square Garden tonight
 The men went to mat r times, but on each occasion remained there only a few minutes. The last 15 minutes they spent on their feet, each try ing to obtain a decisive hold.
 Zbyszko was always trying for a toe hold, succeeding 10 times, but his opponent wriggled out of every one. sometimes by sheer strength.
 Stecher attempted either boGy scissors or head s lock, getting a half dozen of the latter holds, but each time Zbyszko squirmed out
 The Pole had a perfect defense against the body scissors, using an arm and knee block.
 After an hour and half wrestling Stecher tried hard for a body seis- sors hold, getting the left leg around. Zbyszko blocked the right leg and, turning, obtained his most dangerous hold of the match, toe hold. Stecher was in pain but, using all his strength, managed to get his foot away. Later Stecher succeeded in breaking a dan- gerous half-nelson hold.
 The wrestling was clean through out and Referee George Bothner de- cided the match an even one

tween Fisse of New Orleans and Henry of Mcclellan, was decided in less than two minutes. After an exchange of blows Henry spit blood and a moment later took the count after a hard right to the jaw.
 The only match in the 135-pound class was a very one-sided affair. Holman of Mcclellan spent the first round chasing Chastain around the ring, landing blows at will on the crouching form of his adversary. Early in ,He second chapter Chastain became groggy and few mo- ments later succumbed to hard rights and lefts to the face, falling to the floor
 In the 15S-pound class a dark horse from Camp Shelby, l<lenke, by name, outpointed the Birmingham favorite, Ritz Walters, in three of the fastest rounds of the evening. The first two rounds were about even, but the Shelby boy had Ritz going in the last and the ref cree held up his right mitt as the gong sounded. Ritz took his defeat with his usual good humor and offered no alibi.
 CLOSE DECISION
 The other scrap in this class was close throughout and the officials had trouble in making a decision. Martin Burke. the sorrel-topped slugger from the Pelican City, mixed matters with Dr. Starke' s protege Clements, the Tennessee cham pion. The opening round witnessed some fast footwork and lodging with Burke having the best of it. The Ten nessee boy had difficulty in reaching his opponent. Honors were even in the sec ond and third engagements but the Cas- tie Heights boy (Clements) gained the decision by his game 'come-back' in the fourth and extra round.
 The only fight in the ''heavies" was very brief. as Sailor Dixon put Scullion to sleep in about 60 seconds after they were introduced. The "haymaker' was terrific right to the jaw, which knocked the Mcclellan boy into slum- berland.
 Fight fans who attended the meet were elated over the bouts and everybody went home feeling that they had gotten their moneys worth.
