Lee-HesS Main Go
Local Boy Gains Decision
After Sensational Bout
Make Epstein Stars.
BY HEZE CLARK.

Battling from the start to the finish
through ten rounds of fast milling, Bob
bic Lee of Indianapolis. and Sammy Hess
of F.. Wayne. last night gave the boxing
fans the best exhibition of the fistic game
ever seen at Ft. Benjamin Harrison box
ing show. Lee won the decision.
The two athletes weighed in at $50
pounds and they proved to be the hard
est hitting pair OF boxers ever seen at a
slugfest, but was a real exhibition OF
boxing In which both boxers were forced
to use all their cleyerness on defense as
well as Offense. The defense proved to
the blows delivered by the men was such
as to always give both chance to win
by the knockout route. right uppercut
to Hess jaw sent him to the canvas In
the second round and it looked for a
time as If the battle would not go more
than three rounds, but the wonderful
comeback powers of the Ft. Wayne boxer
gave him a chance and when the time
sounded in the tenth round the men
were exchanging rights and lefts in the
center Of the ring.
Max Epstein put a sleep punch 70
Freddy Watsons jaw in the fourth round
of what was scheduled to be an eight
round fight. Watson was substituted Tor
Jack Terry, who was to have boxed Ep-
stein. Terry is Ill with hu. Epstein
mixed II in each round, never giving
atSOn a seconds rest. Epstein seems
to have kick In either glove and watson
did not have the defense to stop the
blows of the speedy Epstein. Watson was
badly battered in each round and wnen
he took the count the crowd was not
surprised, but when he left the ring he
was applauded for his pluck. The box
ers Weighed IN at 115 pounds
Kid BrOodie Of Birmir CHAM. Ala, won
decision over Ray Walsh OF Indianapo-
lis. Broodie never really opened up and
showed what he had until the last aud
sixth round Of the battle. Welsh Is a
tall, willing fighter, but some way he
could not do better than fight few
draw rounds with Bro0die. The latter had
big edge in the second round, but
seemed content to fight even with Welsh
through the other rounds except the
last one Then he opened up rights and
lefts to Walsh's head and body in such
re pidity that Walsh failed to cover fast
enough and Brodie won his fight In the
final round, for Walsh hardly landed a
blow in the sixth round.
Two clever little boxers, Howard De
witt and Harry Dempsey, went foul
rounds to a draw. These two boys boxed
draw fight two weeks ago. They
weigh in at lis pounds and are so evenly
/ matched that II will require more thar

and the Searleteers will not be without
bleacher support. The local rooters see
visions Of the State title If the Butler
