Jack Shemky of Crystal Falls
proved too much for "Red 'Erspamer
local mitt artist, in the main bout OF
the boxing show under the auspices
of the Ironwood Post of the American
Legion at Pierce's theatre Thursday
evening. The bout went to Shemky
in the sixth round when Erspamer's
manager took him out
The men cOntented themselves with
feeling each other out in the first
round. In the second round Erspamer
started mixing things and sent in
some good blows. He had it all over
his opponent in this round and when
the gong sounded was accorded hearty
applause. Erspamer came back
strong in the third rOuud but soon
showed signs of weakening. He fell
TO the mat and took the count in this
round and later in the bout again
went to the mat for the count. He
showed signs of weakening, lacked
steam and punch and, while he show
ed good ring generalship, his blows
failed to make any impression on his
opponent and it was apparent to those
present that he was all through. The
action of his manager in taking him
out in the sixth round was timely.
The general opinion following the
bout was that Red" Erspamer as a
boxer is through. either on account
of Inability to get back into condi-
tion or through lack of stamina.
In the seml-windup Johnny Aspln-
wall lost TO Dick Hetherston of St.
Paul In the fourth round. This bout
was fast and furious, both men seem
ing willing to mix things. although
the st. Paul man had it over the local
man, with the result that Aspinwall
quit in the fourth. Aspinwal. it is
said, was not in lighting condition,
having injured his side in workout
with Erspamer and was thus unable
to put forth his best.
Yern Morris of Bessemer and Battl-
ing Johnson of Washburn furnished
the real bout of the evening in thu
preliminaries. For four rounds they
put up pretty scrap, the hOnors 60
ing to the Bessemer man. Young Sc
cor of this city and Mickey Riley of
Bessemer fought three rounds to a
draw in the preliminaries.
The show attracted full house,
every available seat being occupied
