SPLENDID BOXING BOUTS

Last Fridays evening fghtfest at
the Winslow Opera House brought
out the usual amount of fans. In
fact, few more than the usual a.
mount. The seats in the theatre
were filed and a hundred or more
spectators were gathered at the ring
side on the stage 1t was a jolly
crowd. They came to be entelt tanned
and entertained they were. 1t was
entertainment all the way from the
time DR.. Gilpin pronounced his per-
Grafton and introduced the boys
scheduled for three ronnd go of
two minutes each. kid Lancaster
and Young Kid" Cooper lambcsted
each other for the thee rounds. It
was give and take and take and give.
Jack Rooney served as third man in
the ring and at the close of the third
round he very justifiably held up the
hands of both boys.
Jack Rooney who has been hand
ing knock outs to the fellows in
his class, but failed with Soldier
Costellot here some thrae or four
weeks ago, was introduced to the
spectators and was greeted with
cheers. Soldier Costello was alse
introduced and received an ovation
from his Mexican friends who were
much in evidence. Costello issued
challenge to Rooney which was at
once accepted, DO we may soon see
these two contesting in the ring a.
gain. Rooney received the former
decision. although he did not knock
out Costello as he had been doing
with most of his aGversaries Cos
tello is fiend for punishment.
Thee second number on the pro-
gram called was a four round go
between Kid Cooper and Soloman
Padilla. 1t fell far short of the
four rounds, however, for Padilla
rushed Cooper from the center of
the ring to Coopers own corner and
swinging and upper cutting. Cooper
covered UP and backed against the
ropes and did not offer any per-
ceptable offensive. Whether he was
blding his time and was so smoth-
cred with blows that he could not
assume the offensive, we do not say,
but after Padilla had rained blow
after blow as quickly as he could
deliver them for period of fifty
seconds, Referee Rooney called off
Padilla and held up his hand and
gave him the decision. There was
little howl set up but generally
the decision swas well received.
The contest between Charles Rubi
and Pitching LLOYD Parks cover
ed the full four rounds. It was
good fight. Parks had the beat of
every round and fioored Rubi in the
fourth, but Rubi was quickly on his
feet and both we're fighting at the
bell at the end of the round. The
decision was given to Parks.
The semi-final was a scheduled
six round go between "Ft. Worth"
George and Felix Bargas. They
mixed it in pretty good shape and
were inclined to do some fouling.
At least it looked that way to a
ringside observer. In the third
George struck Bargas in a break
and Referee Bartlett, who had taken
the job of third man in the ring i'm
mediately held up Bargas hand.
George seems to be out of luck.
He lost at Flagstaff a few days ago
because of foul. He needs a little
more head work
The main event, scheduled ten
round bout between "Whirlwind"
Cody who gave his address as Win
slow, and kid" Anayas, of Albu-
querQue. 1t went the full ten rounds.
Some of it did not go so very fast,
but there We're frequent mixes. It
is stated that the two have faced
each other in the ring before and
they were evidently mindful of the
past occurance. Cody was quick and
he often found Anavas with his left
straight to the jaw but they did not
seem to have any serious effect. In
the mixes matters were more even.
Cody was out pointing Anayas in
most of the rounds and no one round
could be said to have been Anayas,
unless it was the last when he wad-
ed in with more spirit than he had
shown previously. In spite of the
fact that they seemed to be waiting
IN each other many times, it was
good fight. Cody received the de-
cision. Another contest between
these two would undoubtedly prove
a drawing card.
Anyway, the big crowd expressed
their appreciation of a good pro-
gram and again proved that Win
slow has a goodly number of fight
fans who will get out to see some
real ring battles. The management
is to be congratulated
