K, or C. ACTIVITIES

A mass OF humanity, representing thou
sands OF officers and soldiers surrounded
l, last Thursday night and witnessed q
two-hour exhibition Of boxing and wrest-
ling by the finest talent in camp.
Those who gathered early in the eve
ming and secured ringside seats and the
many hundreds standing, were glad to
hear the voice Of Acting General Secre-
tary McKWgan announce the first num-
Der, which was wrestling exhibition be-
tween Joe Wolf Of the Sixty-fourth Com
pany, and Benny Agugliaro, also Of the
Sixty fourth Company. Both men did
/ their utmost to secure a fall within the
| ten minutes, but were so evenly matched
that neither was able to secure a decis-
ion, but the spectators were treated to
a skilful and scientific exhibition Of this
/ healthful sport and we're generous in
their applause for both contestants.
! The second event was four-round box
ing exhibition between Goldie and Ester
man. Young Goldie amused the crowd
with his odd feints and quick side-step-
ping, which earned him the decision Of the
/ judges. The comments from the audi
ence were very witty, on account Of the
peculiar style Of both boxers
The third event was stx-round go
| between Bobby Greer and Joe Sullivan
Of the NJ. @. T, e, Both boys were in
good condition and displayed skill. Sulii-
van made Greer step around in the early
stages Of the fight, but Greer soon warm
ed up and evened matters up, the judges
decided the bout was a draw.
What proved a hummer was the fourth
number on the program a tire round mill
| between Joe DoWd and Bill Lambert For
| action, this was the banner bout of the
/ evening and brought the crowd to their
feet with loud cheering and clapping
Lambert easily won on account OF his
good judgment Of distances, Landing almost
at vii with stiff punches to the chm and
| body. hWeVer. DoWd was undsmayed by
these FERGUS attacks and was game to
the core. The finish found him still fight
ing
The star attraction Of the evening pro-
duced Ray Dalton, who recently knocked
out Winnisett, the Camp Jackson light
weight champion, at Warren Park, on
Labor Day, and Sammie waltz one Of
the best boys Of his weight ever turned
out In the North. The science and foot
work displayed by both men was the best
ever displayed by any boxers at Camp
Hancock, being featured by clean, hard
hitting by both men and rapid footwork
waltz gained a big advantage early in
the fight by opening up an old cut over
Dalton's left eye, which hndered him
from seeing clearly. There was nothing
TO choose between the two opponents Of
the manly art, and the judges we're forced
TO declare the bout a draw, which met
with the approval OF the crowd, and con-
cluded splendid evening Of entertain
meut
