Though only three Third Corps
Area boxing bouts were run of at
Fort Myer last night. nevertheless
there was plenty Of clever fighting
before a crowd of $500 people. A
wrestling match and four other
purely exhibition bouts were staged
by the officers in charge of the
tournament. Injuries to some Of the
men who were listed to start in last
nights bouts held the Corps Area
total down to three bouts, hut men
at the post and from other third
district posts VIC clunteered their serv-
ices to fill out the program.
In the Corps Area bouts Fort Myer
entries were successful>in two and
Walter Reed in the other.
Paul Hafft, of Fort Myer, scaling
1856 at . o'clock yesterday. faced Kid
Frey. weight 1874, Of Washington
Barracks, in the opening battle, and
the Fort Myer boy easily won his
bout on a decision after six rounds
of rather one-sided fighting
Hafft, who has won every Dis
trict bout in which he has been en-
gagged, started out against the
Washington Barracks fighter with
a rush and though he was unable
to put him away ''for keeps" new
ertheless he had the battle all his
own way from the opening bell.
The second corps area bout was
unqestionably the surprise OF the
evening.

ries crouch. and the boy who up
to last night had never been de-
feated at the Virginia Post, lost 10
his opponent in a technical knock
out in the fourth round after hav-
ing gotten the short end Of the first
three stanzas.
Private Parsons, Of Walter Reed
was the battler who finally put the
Indian Sign on the Fort Myer
fighter. Holderman outweighed his
opponent by at least seven pounds
and with his record in mind. was
picked to win in a walk.

The chances Of Brottem sticking
are also good. IL he can deliver as
he did in the minors. There Is an
evident need of a classy understudy
for Pat Charity. Picinich failed
to show the expected ability last
year. and Torres, although a prom
ising youngster, lacks the expert
ence which would give him a chance
to step into the breach.
Brottem has a wealth Of minor
league experience. and 10 an iron
man for work. Last season he
caught all but seventeen of the 154
games for the pennant-winning
Travellers and topped all the catch
ers in fielding. He was credited
with $50 put-outs and 16z assists.
with but nineteen errors. His hit
ting mark was .253. which is moth
ing to brag about, but he was re-
ported to be a mighty timely man
in the pinches.
Trouble is anticipated in getting
the signatures of the two stars to
a contract, in view of the bonus
they received on signing with Pitts
burgh. but that will undoubtedly
be overcome and they should be

their transforming journey north
