Ry B. A. nRIpGEWATER.

Cowboy Padgott of Colorado and
Bud Logan OF omaha boxed very
tame 12-round draw at McNulty
park last night. Some fans seemed
to think Referee Harry Stout was
wrong when he hoisted tho fifty-fifty
signal at the end, but II he had
given either boy a decision he ccr-
tainly wouldn't be entitled 80 the
title of Americas foremost ref
eree,' which his admiring friends
have given him.
There was lot OF gore. enough
10 satisfy the most bloodthirsty fan.
Logan opened an old cut over Pad
getts left eye early in the bout and
IT developed into n nasty spot. and
few rounds later Bud cut a new
one under the same lamp. In the
ninth round Padgett cut cash by
the side of Logan's right eye. All
OF these cuts bled profusely.
But 1t was a tame affair, never
theless. Up to the eighth round
both lads went about II in a rather
listless and half-hearted manner.
Not until they had been cautioned
by Referee Stout did they snap out
OF It. and even then neither fought
the fight he is capable of.
However, there were eXtcnuating
circumstances. The attendance was
very poor, and for some time II ap-
peared that the program might not
even be put on. Officials OF Joe
Carson Athletic club. which pro.
NOTED the scrap, finally persuaded
the two boxers 10 go through with
the bout for $3.50 each, which bare
~ covered their expenses. Logan had
been guaranteed $3.50. 1t was only
natural that the Differs would be
inclined TO take It easy under the
conditions. but II was hard on the
fans during the early rounds.
The first three rounds were so
free from fighting that the crowd
started to get after the boys. Booes
and Kisses sounded as they went to
their corners II was at this stage
that Referee Stout advised them 10
get busy.
Padgett Cut In Fourth.
They speeded up somewhat in the
fourth and IL was In this round that
Logan broke open the old cut over
Padgett's eye. In the sixth Padgett's
eye looked very bad when Logan hit
1t again, and in this round Logan
also started the claret from n fresh
cut under the same lamp.
Padgett became more aggressive
in the seventh and from then on the
scrap pleased the spectators. The
eighth witnessed the best mixing OF
the bout up to that time. In the
ninth Padgett cut cash by the side
of Logan's eye and they were both
covered with blood Mt the bell.
After a rather quiet tenth they
got down to business in the eleventh
and Padgett punished Logan Sc
al t,a
boys when they swapped punches
freely. The twelfth and last round
witnessed another spirited exchange
with Padgett having the better of 1t.
The writer awarded Padgett the
second, ninth. eleventh and twelfth
rounds, Logan the third, fourth and
seventh, and called the others even.
PeItz and Barnes Slug.
The semiwindup was rafting
good fight, filled with furious mix
ing in nearly every round. with Kid
Peltz OF Sapulpa and Whitley Barnes
Of Miami standing about even until
Peltz put Barnes out in the eighth
with an inside right under tho heart.
Barnes heart evidently was giving
him trouble at the opening OF the
round. Slugging featured every
round. Barnes had the better OF
the first. The second was even
Peltz knocked Barnes down in the
| third, but he came back in the
| fourth and assumed the offensive
| Barnes continued to force things in
the fifth and sixth. Psltz took the
play away from him in the seventh
and again was forcing it in the
eighth when the end came. Kid
| Spack served as referee.
In the preliminary Kid Inky won
a decision over one Round Stopper
in four rounds. The dusky battlers
put up plenty of action.
The opening of the program was
! delayed until 9:15 because of the
