Lorentz All But Stopped
Five boxing and wrestling bouts
comprised the piece de resistance
for the evening program at the fair
grounds and again large crowd
said to be not less than 5000 per-
sons, was on hand for tne milling
which was expected to be fast and
furious, For those who had antici.
pated action there was no disapE
pointment
In the main go, Red Fowler OF
Mapleton was awarded the refer
ee's decision over ''Toots" Lorentz
of tiis city,. Four furious rounds
the boys STEPPED but from the mid :
die of the first il was apparent that
Fowler had a slight edge and as
the bout progressed the lead grew
longer until in the last it was only
tne gameness of the docal boy that
kept him from taking the long
count. Three times during theaast
two roundss Lorentz was knocked
through the ropes but each time he
came back for more and in the
closing seconds he gathered
enough strength to make a grand
attempt at scoring knockout with
a hard right punch which landed on
the Mapleton jaw but had not the
force to collapse the tough and
willing youngster with the red haiE.
Lorentz was again through the
on the ground at the side of the
ring. The Mapelton lad in addition
to being one of the willingest mix
ers who ever stepped into local
ring has world of stamina and
speed and in addition to that is
tough enough to assiinilate punish
ment and keep coming ins He was
constantly going forward last night
and had the Mankato scrapper Civ
ing ground all the way.
The lads weighed in at los
pounds in the afternoon, according
to the announcement of Referee
Roger Morehart, who officiated for
all the ring and mat battles last
night. a-y
Prelinfinaries Go Fast
Chuck Rost of Belle Plain and
Oscar Peterson OF st. Peter fur
nisned a hot semi wind up after
they had worked off their ring ner-
vousness in the first round and at
the end the match was called a
draw. Both boys were willing to
stand up and exchange rights and
lefts and as a result Of their will
iIlgness had the crowd with them:
In this bout there was plenty OF
gore for the most bloodtairty and
on the homeward trip. In the
early rounds each was trying hard
for a chance at the jaw with the
result that there were no 1eads but
to the jaw and face. In the third
they began mixing them UP and it
was then that the claret began to
fly. At the end of the fourth each
was in such condition that a solid
right would have done the trick but
the boys were equally spent from
their heavy work that they were
both milling at the close. They
weighed in at $50 pounds.
The George twins, Eddie and
Archie, gave a four round boxing
exhibition as the first of the fistic
encounters. They weighed in at 122
and 1921 respectively and gave a
clean and lightning fast demonstra-
ton of the art of fisticuffs. The boys
are in fine condition, able to go at
top speed for the entire route and
got a big hand from the crowd at
the end of their part of the show.
Two Graphing Encounters
First on the evenings card was
the wrestling match between Gus,
sic Blomberg of st: James and
Charley Ponwith of st. Peter. Ref
cree Moreaart that it would be a
winner take all affair, best two falls
in three. No time was lost between
either in sparring for holds and
they went to the mat Immediately
never to rise again until .Ponwith
was awarded the first fall in twelve
minutes and eighteen seconds.
Blomberg took some exception to
tae ruling of the arbitrator but in
the second fall Ponwith lost no
time and dropped his opponent in
four minutes and thirty seconds.
Lloyd Gould, a good man from
st. Peter and Gyp Brown, announc-
ed as the pride of Lake Elysiar-.
followed with an exhibition, best
two in three. These boys worked a
trifie over four minutes in each fall
before the ST. Peter mixer carried
his opponents shoulders to the
mat. They showed the fans va
riety of wrestling stuff in those
short minutes, however, and were
given generous hand by the audi
ence. t-
s - Musical Feature
One of the. musical features OF
yesterday afternoons program AT
,Mankato fair grounds was the sing
ing to full band accompaniment by
Joseph Kendall and Maurice Swift
ger. The singing Of these gentle
men was greatly appreciated by the
