LEGION BOXING CARD
PLEASED EVERYBODY

The boxing card put on by the
Delta Legion boys the evening of
Armistice Day, at the Armory, was
pleasing to the large crowd which
was in attendance. The Tennessee
Serenaders livened things up be-
tween the numerous bouts.
The first number was a battle
royal, followed by a three-round ex-
hibition by Raymond and Roy Neal,
of Paonia, twins, aged Z years. The
youngsters mixed things right and
provided hearty entertainment for
everybody. There was no monkey
business with those kids. At the
close of the third round, a regular
hail of coins was tossed into the ring
to the little fellows.
Buster Norman mixed with Ed
Verhofstad in a fast and furious four
round engagement. Slugging at ran
dom and occasionally a hit was the
main feature of this engagement.
Both of the boys did their best.
Kid Mitchell of Hotchlliss and Tony
Sanity of Grand Junction staged a
three-round exhibition. Mitchen sur
prised his many Delta friends in the
way he carried the fight to his
opponent.
Art Johnson of Grand Valley versus
Luther Watt of Norwood, gave the
spectators full rounds. Watts carried
the scrap to his opponent most of
the way through the mixup and was
favored by the referee on points a the
final Johnson worked on the de
fensive most of the time, although wo
gave Watt several hard shakeups dur
ing the engagement.
John Mccarthy and Charlie Edelen,
staged the main go for 10 rounds.
Mccarthy weighed in at $50 pounds,
with Edelen checking in at 14O pounds
Young Edelen is getting good" was
the comment heard among those who
have watched the Delta county boy
from the very start. From the way
Charlie carried the fight to Mccarthy
the assertion could be easily verified.
He has the punch and the speed to
make things interesting for any of
them. 1t was no picnic for John 20
hold the youth down and at times it
looked as though it might be X. o.
for Mccarthy.
