TANNERS TOUGH LUCK; CHAMP FAILS TO DELIVER

Sem1-t1nal won a clean cut decis- ion over main event at the Mile Hi Athletic club last night. There was absolutely no division of opinion on this.
 Incidentally, Wild Bill Tanner went step nearer the goal he has evidently set for himself when he showed up the alleged champion, L. s. May, who had been sent here under guise to make things inter esting" for the tall Pennsylvanian. The final event was so palpably no contest that the announcement of LeRoy Anderson, spokesman for the board of judges was received with cheers.
 May went into the ring with clown leap and his capers amused the crowd mildly until he faced Tan ner. Shorter than the local boy, he subtracted two or three feet from his stature every few seconds, so that Tanner had difficulty even in feeling him out For one round it was all touch and go-touch your opponent and then go away from there. In the second, a light right to the head, followed by bare. tip to the jaw sent May to the mat, where he lay and blowed while Tan ner, overcome by disgust, protested his willingness to go the entire route with anybody his weight who would and could fight.
 Bets on the outcome of the final were declared off by Referee Mitch Mahoney, to the satisfaction of thI crowd.
 The saving feature of the program was the ferocious and completely satisfying bout between Kid Carson, conner, and Tiny Refeld. This is the first time Refeld has met man who seemed able to keep pace with his lightning speed, and although Tiny was outweighed and outreach- ed, he made it battle all the way.
 The contest was awarded to Car son on a 3-1 vote of the judges, the minority vote being for a draw.
 Refeld had round one by his in tense speed and application. He drew blood from Carson's nose with smart jab, but thereafter, the Kid kept his beak under cover. Refeld went to his opponent at every stage and was clearly the aggressor thru out the first event.
 Carson and Refeld stood toe to toe and slugged throughout the second round. Carson went away in this frame, but was always willing to mix it. His blows reached Tiny's ex- posed left temple, bringing on bril- liant redness, and Tiny was more careful. This round was even.
 Carson was the aggressor in the third to sixth rounds. His shrewd wallops slowed Refeld up, and while there was a great deal of mitting that was worthy of the steam be- hind welterweight blows, neither did any particular damage until Carson began reaching Tiny's face again in the fifth and sixth.
 It was announced that last nights ] contest with Refeld was Carson's 1 second appearance in any ring. But he bore signs of more memorable | struggle in the scars of two deep | wounds, one on the right knee and | the other on the right upper arm. These he had acquired during exper- fences as a soldier on the border. Refeld was overseas, and is regarded as the best little man in his class 108 pounds.
 The Preliminaries
 Ben Ferree outwrestled Carl Gil bert for two straight falls-12 and s minutes respectively The boy, who appeared inexperienced, proved a good little scrapper, and the two put up an interesting bout Ferree's use of the head-lock to gain down on his man showed that he regarded his opponent as good one.
 After this event, the Masked Mar vel entered the ring and challenged Cheyenne Riser, who appeared and conceded bout, provided he be given time to train.
 A preliminary of four rounds be- tween Vaile and Hilbert ended sud denly in the second, when Hilbert, who had led the first space, took a crash and was knocked out.
 Announcement was made after the show that the next event would star Charley Lynch of Whipple Barracks and Bill Tanner. This is the match that the fans want, and will doubt less prove the best of the series SO far mapped out by the Moose.
