WOODSTOCK Fight,
Draw; Waterville
Bows Knocked Out

A lot of gloves were seen in the
air in the main bout of the Capital
City A. c. show last night when
Billy Woods of Cambridge and jim
my Cox of Boston fought to draw.
But the gloves did little or no dam
age and did not satisfy the most
bloodthirsty of the crowd who are
never content unless they see muir
der. TO the average fan, the bout
was entirely satisfactory with the
boys, especially Cox showing all
kinds of speed and perseverance, and
kept forcing Woods practically all
the time.
Cox was an awkward fighter and
considerable OF Il dancer but he kept
both hands going all the time and
seemed to score more blows than
Woods. He battered Billys stomach
and jaw but his blows seemed to
lack the punch and while he forced
Billy to cover on several occasions
did no real damage to him.
On the other hand. Woods did not
hit so often and seemed content to
let his opponent force the milling
most of the time but when he land
ed he was hitting as hard as he could
but that was not hard enough 10
make any impression on the Warp
who would take a hard smash on
the chin and be on top of Woods with
a sock of his own before Billy could
get his arm back. Billy had the best
margin but Cox seemed to go faster
the farther it went and he evened
up in the final session.

pounded Young ShaIkey of Water
willie to the carpet in the fourth
round Of the semi final event, get
ting the Waterville boy in corner
and hammering home about half Il
dozen uppercuts before Sharkey went
to the mat. Up to the start of the
fourth round Sharkey had a slight
advantage over his taller opponent
getting Lalibertie off his guard and
driving home blows to the stomach
and chin that shook the Lewiston
boy. Sharhey seemed to lose his pep
in the fourth round and Lalibertie
chased him all over the ring before
he finished the bout.
Young Lizotte of Augusta dropped
Terry White OF Waterville for the
count in the third round of the open
err in fight that had the fans YELL
ing all the time. Lizotte in adding
another victim to his list also had
a few new steps and they proved
effective as he soaked his right to
Whites face. flooring him once be-
fore the final count out.
The crowd was not more than fair
and seemed to enjoy~the show up to
the last few rounds of the main affair
when some one started calling for
fight and that species of the human
race that always wants to see
slaughter Joined in. But in the
opinion of most of the fans. the boys
earned their money. Harry Sears
refereed the bouts satisfactorily and
kept things moving pretty close.

NORTH DAKOTA
WINSFAV0R IN
CONVENTION
A. F. Bradley, Secretary of
A. c., Shows Exhibit to
Men at Convention

Commercial organization secretar-
les from every state in the union,
particularly from financial centers
where many North Dakota projects
are financed, expressed agreeable
surprise at the extent of resources
and their development in North Da-
kota, A. F. Bradley, secretary of the
Association Of Commerce, who took
an exhibit with him to the conven-
tion Of the National Association of
Commercial Organization Secretaries
at Cincinnati said today. Mr.. Brad
ley has just returned from the con-
vention.
The exhibit include co.f. potatoes
and other agricultural products;
samples Of clay products, pictures Of
coal development, photos of the Bad.
lands and other matter concerning
the state and Bismatck. A particu-
lar effort was made, Mr.. Bradley
said, to reach commercial secretaries
from eastern financial centers who,
through committee and other work,
are brought in contact with financial
houses which invest heavily in
North Dakota.
North Dakota was definitely es-
tablished as corn belt state in the
minds of many secretaries, he said.
The Badlands pictures attracted
wide attention, he said. The name,
Badlands, Mr.. Bradley believes, is
misnomer. He said that many be-
lieved the section an uninteresting
desert section. The pictures of Py-
ramfd Park, the petrified forest and
other beauties and marvels of the
Badlands brought forth exclamations
of approval, he said. He urged the
advertising of the Badlands as a dis
tinct asset in attracting tourists. The
National Parks Highway organiza-
tion, he said, in its next campaign
will feature the Badlands. The
Northern Pacific is giving much ad-
to the section.
Mr.. Bradley brought home with
him for consideration of A. of C.
committees and secretaries informa-
tion of the latest developments in
community chest work, city plann-
ing and zonipg, linking of the farm
and city and trade development in
cities Of size comparable to Bis
marck, in all parts of the country.
