Jack Williams
Retains Championship

The X. of C. arena, Building No. /,
was the scene of one of the most SEN
sational boxing bouts ever witnessed
in this part of the country on last
Thursday night, when Jack Williams
the welterweight champion of Camp
Hancock, stacked up against Billy
Powers, the California middleweight,
In the main event of four rounds.
At the termination of the bout. the
judges awarded the decision to Powers
by a shade. Nevertheless, Williams
still holds the welterweight champion
ship, because of the fact that Powers
outweighed him by Is pounds and was
a middleweight instead of welter
weight. Jack must be given a great
deal of credit or the great fight he
put up against such heavy odds.
Nelson and Virgits in Star Exhibition
Just before the main bout was put
on, Joe Nelson, the hard-hitting and
aggressive New Orleans lightweight
champion, boxed fast three-round
exhibition with Phil Yirgits, the south
ern featherweight champion. These
two men ave the big crowd a real fis-
tic treat in the line of handing out
some very clever boxing which they
comboned with soporific Punches.
Bobby Gr04r and Eddie Sullivan in
Slusein- Match.
The third star bout of the evening
brought together Bobby Greer, the
Oklahoma Bearcat Of the Ordnance
Department, and Eddie Sullivan of the
Cavalry Suecialist School. For three
rounds these two men went at each
other like two igers. and to the de-
light of the big crowd slugged through
the entire bout.
The judges awarded the decision to
Greer, and the $1,000 men present APP
plauded same with plenty of enthu-
siasm.
