There was little action on the part

Puts Ryder Down
They exchanged a few light blows
and suddenly Miske snapped a right
to Ryder's solar plexus and the big
fellow fell to his knees. He took the
his feet, the St. Paul man damned
him with a wicked q in the kidneys.
The Iowan went down again for nine.
When he came back he was Wabbly,
but instead of backing off and cover
ing up, he tried to force the fighting
again, and Miske planted another in
the same place. Ryder went to the
giant was aoored by blows that travel
ed slightly more than six inches, but
the bell saved him the last time.
: When the bell for the third round
called the men together again. Miske
was wearing his famous fighting face.
He intended to make the train Inc it
was plain that the bout was going no
farther than that round. Ryder vas

his middle section as far from the
Irishman as possible but there was
for a blow on the jaw, between
his two gloves, and Miske Immediate

eral inches off the floor as he shot
his right upward and Ryder stretch

plain to Kossick that further fighting
bout. Ryder was helped from the
ring. .5e"
Out Of His Glass
Ryder was too far out of his class.
It was hoped by the Legion promot-
ers that the 1owan would prove at
least tough opposition for Miske.
They knew that there vas no other
heavyweight in this section of the
country including the Twin Cities
outside Of Tom Gibbons. that would
last more than,thEee rounds with him
on the Atkin man, who has a good
record. 1t was the same story that
has been told OF, all Bills fighting
since his comeback, with the excep-
ton Of the last one in New York.
Ryder was overweight and COM
pared to Miske. aWfully slow. Stand
ing off and boxing with the st. Paul
man. he did fairly we'll, but when the
latter started fighting he showed why
he is classed as among the few best
heavyweights in the country.
Perry Bliven fought the best fight
that he had ever staged in Grand
Forks. He staged q. comeback as
far as the local fans are concerned
n will be welcomed back to future
engagements. Although he scored
more points thar 'Krause, the Bis
marck battler's aggresdveness earned
him a draw. He forced the battle
throughout and took everything Bliven
4 had to offer with a smile. Bliven's
left was continually in his face, ham,
mering away, but Krause was hot to

Krause Takes Everything
Blfven. known as a hard hitter,
could not make Krause back up. and
