El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1918-08-22

An unusually large crowd greeted
the uirht competitors for FegiIental
hono-s and The spectators were
treated 10 an unusually good musical
and fistic program
Gundy Improved.
The boxing card was opened by a
fast three round exhibition between
Sergt Battling Love and Nick Gundy,
Seventh cavalry. The way Gunoy
went after his heavier opponent leads
fistic fans TO believe that Tommy
Nelson viii travel rocky road when
he meets The Giant Killer on Labor
day at the Studorium- Battling Love
is not only heavier by some Is pounds
than Nelson, but is faster and fully
as good ring general At that he had
nothing on Gundy for the three
rounds, the latter showing a marked
Improvement over his form OF several
weeks ago.

Slow bouts were entirely lacking. as

There was no stalling. All bouts went
three rounds and the contestants
showed an inclination 10 turn on full
and always by the second round Mike

referee
Each One Best.
At each succeeding track and field
meet at Bliss the program has i'm
proved. The opening Of the morning
events quickly proved that Wednes-
days meet was TO be no exception to
the rule Order and method marked
everything in connection with the
meet There were more soldiers and
civilians in attendance, more bands.
more music, more roofing than ever
before Yell leaders conducted regi-
mental roofing with the same vim
that is displayed in drilling recruits
and the soldier bodies responded with
spirit The great hollow square in
which the athletes cont zlded was
continually bombarded with encour-
aging yeIls OF different units. The
courses were in better condition than
at any former meet.
During the morning there
seemed to be no keeping the Fifth
cavalry athletes from taking some
kind Of n place in all events. In
nearly all they took two places,
frequently first and second. While
their hardest competitor was the
SD field artillery, the Seventh
furnished formidable opposition in
nearly all events.
In the mile relay race three OF the
Seventh runners made a magnificent
show, each making gains that must
have landed the Seventh in first place
only that hte runners lost their heads
or their eyes and insisted in giving
the "carry-on" stick they carried to
runners Of another organization. The
time lost in finding their own relay
man lost the race for the Seventh
Best Trained Mount.
An afternoon event which attracted
more than ordinary notice was that Of
best trained mount in which Lieut..
Col Harvey, sgd field artillery, and
Maj. Cheney. Fifth cavalry, showed
were charged to Lieut.. Col Harvey
and six to Maj. Cheney. both very
exceptional records in equitation.
System Counts.
The most noticeable feature OF
Wednesdays meet as regards general
Improvement, was the exactness and
system employed in all depart
ments- All possible energy was
conserved by abundant rest tents:
the most was obtained from
athlets by excellently prepared
tracks; time was saved by officers
running off the events: disputes were
absent because Of exact conditions
published before the meet: the layout
Of the grounds avoided confusion and
possible accidents; in short It all took
on the appearance OF a wei conducted
show and was finished according to
schedule time.
