Butte Lightweight Loses.
In the semi final bout Ray Wallace,
Butte lightweight, fought Il losing bat
tie with Eddie Englehart of Billings,
in five Of the eight rounds that marked
the end of his ring career. While each
| fighter was taking the measure Of the
other with feints and light exchanges
IN the first, the Butte man held Engle-
hart to a draw and in the fifth he had
shade, but only in the sixth round
did the bell find Ray with a decisive
lead.
The other five rounds were conclu-
sively the property of the Billings man,
but the crowd howled lusty protest
when Referee Ray Miller raised Engle-
4art's glove at the finish. Wallace
nodded his head at his opponent in
acknowledgement Of his defeat, but the
crowd thought that his strong finish
after visibly weakening in the middle
of the mill entitled him tn share the
honors with Englehart.
Fails to Connect.
Wallace's defeat was largely due to
his failure to connect with his best
blow, a right uppercut. Engleharts
defense protected him from nearly all
Of Wallace.s wicked upthrusts and it
was only in the infighting that the
Butte boy was able to make a showing.
Occasionally he landed swing but be-
You'd being Jared the veteran showed
no effects Of the punishment. Engle-
hart broke through Wallaces guard re-
peatedly with swings and jabs that
| wore the Butte man down in the sec
| ond and third rounds. In the fourth
Wallace was on the defensive and once
or twice was in distress.
The Butte man recovered in the
| fifth by his craftiness and took big
| lead in the sixth, but he could mot keep
| the pace Midway in the fourth Wallace
did bit Of clever taking, came out of
slump with squirt and Jared the
veteran to his shoe soles with q smash
to the jaw.
Wallace Comes Back.
In the sixth Wallace came back and
| led the fighting until the bell, his right
counting time and again on the Billings
mans face and body. Englehart looked
| worried when he went to his corner.
| Wallace continued his squirt in a
| mighty effort at last to win a draw
in his last fight, and met Englehart
| on nearly even ground in the seventh
and eighth, but Eddie took them both
through superior generalship and abil-
| ity TO smash through Wallace's guard.
Crawford Challenges Winner.
Bill Crawford, Great Falls welter-
| weight, issued q challenge to the win
ner when he was introduced before the
mill began. Wallace and Englehart
| fought at catch weights, Wallace weigh
| ing in ut 40 and Englehart at l31.
| Wallace announced at Butte recently
that this fight would be his last. He
intends to enter business.
O'NeiiI Game Loser.
The gameness Of Jimmy ONeill OF
the west side, won him lot OF !rlenos
! in his 90 with Pete Bross, but his lack
Of condition and inexperience left him
| without a chance against the older
head. 1t was largely a story OF Bross,
| dazzling left, which connected with the
regularity Of clockwOrk against
O'Neills features.
O'Neill was knocked down in the
second, but refused to take the count
of nine and returned with rush and
did his best to retaliate. but it was
Bross' round by a big margin. In the
third Bross rushed his man to the
ropes, smashed his right and left to
the Jaw and face at will and sent
O'Neill to the mat at the end OF ter
rifle attack. O'Neill tried to stagger
70 his feet but rolled back and shook
his head over the hopelessness OF II
all when he was counted out.
Bross was without mark at the emo
of the mill and there was not MIN
ute when he did not command the ring;
His lightning left was his prlnclpal'
weapon. Bross weighed in at Jos ana
O'Neill at 40.
