By HEZE CLARK.

OutbOxtng his opponent in eleven or
the fifteen rounds, Freddie Boorde OF
Indianapolis last night won a decision
over Jack Barnhart Of Terre Haute IN
the main go Of the Fl. Benjamin Har-
rison boxing show. The fight was the
longest held at Fl. Harrison since the
AUing shows were started six months
The semi-windup, a six-round bout,
was really as good a scrap as the main
go, and Joe Dillon Of indianapolis won
a decision over Charles Winters of
Bloomington. The decision was not
popular with Winters friends. In the
opening round the men spared and did
little real fighting, feeling each other out
and playing safe. 1t was in the second
round that the fireworks started. Dill
Ion started in to make the affair slug
fest, and in the second and third rounds
Winters was knocked down four times.
At the close Of the third round he was
on the canvas for the count OF seven
and was saved by the bell at the end
of the round, when he apparently was
helpless from a blow on the jaw. Win
ters' seconds helped him to his corner
and their efforts during the time between
the third and fourth rounds put Winters
back on his feet in great shape.
The Bloomington battler came back
strong and fought an even round with
Dillon in the fourth. In the fifth and
sixth rounds Winters outbOXed his Op-
pOnent, but the edge that Dillon gained
in the four knOckdOwns in the second and
third rounds during which periods he
completely outfought Winters gave him
cough edge over the Bloomington fighter
to win a decision. Both boxers showed
plenty Of cIeverness, and world OF
speed. and both hit hard. Winters sp+Sn-
did comeback in the final rOundSDafter the
EnOckdOwns he received, proves he is one
CT the gamest scrappers ever seen in
ring at FIT. Harrison.
Jack Wyne of Indianapolis, made a sad
showing in his scheduled six-round bout
with Charles Null Of Fl. Harrison. Null
opened up a shower Of rights and lefts
70 body and face in the first round and
Wyne was Kept so busy trying to get his
rms and gloves in the way OF Nulls
Id ows that Wyne forgot to try to hit his
opponent. Wyne took the count of nine
before the round was a minute old, and
before the bell sounded at the end of the
first round Wyne was Knocked down
again. He stayed down for the count of
ten and then some. Null appears to be
a real scrapper.
Seldom is more real fighting seen IN
a four round preliminary than was wit
messed in the Harry Dempsey and Herb
Skaggs affair. The boxers weighed IN
at us pounds. The first round was
draw, but during the next three rounds
Skaggs stepped in and landed singing
