AMATEUR BOXING
EVENT ATTRACTS
CAPACITY HOUSE
First Show at |, A, C, Goes
Over Big-FinaI Bouts
Tonight,

The new Indianapolis Athletic Club
gym was filled Thursday night with
boxing fans to witness the Indiana
Kentucky Olympic tryouts, and the
well-managed card proved a splendid
treat for local amateur NIT followers.
1t was the new organizations first
boxing show in its home gym, and a
most favorable impression was
created.
A. A. u. officers and men prominent
in local amateur athletics acted as Of
flcials, with Heze Clark, Rose Poly
coach, as the third man in the ring.
Four KnOckOutS
All of the first-round matches of
the elimination tournament. eight in
number, and one bout in the second
round were run off in snappy fashion.
Four knockouts. all of the technical
variety, featured the card.
The setto creating the most enthus-
iasm was the one between Alexander
Zivich, Indiana University light
weight. and Rippey Wilson Of the
Hoosier A. c. With one eye closed
as a result of a blow in the first
round, Zivich used his other optic to
the best of advantage and set whirl-
wind pace, getting the judges decision
after three rounds.
Alexander Bush, formerly of the
crack Culver boxing squad and now in
the Hoosier A. c. stable, and Henry
Orner, the only entrant of the Indian
apolis A c., went three fast sessions
and the referee settled the judges dis
agreement after three rounds by
awarding the bout to Bush. There
was little difference between the two
middleweights, but a knockdowp
scored by Bush swung the balance in
his favor.
Cox Double Winner
Royal Cox Of the Brightwood A. C..
was the only entrant to appear twice
on the program. The clever fiyweight
won from E. Popovitch of Gary on a
Judges decision and on his second APP
pearance was awarded technical
k. o. over Hilton Taylor of the Hoes

MORE BODIES REMOVED
IN GREAT MINE TRAGEDY

WHEELING, w. Va, April 90
The bodies of seventy-nine victims
of the Benwood mine explosion Mon
day, have been located by rescue
workers, who after digging their
way through a fall of rock and slate
to number eight entry, found moth
ing but death to reward their @un-
tiring efforts to reach that section of
the wrecked underground passage
ways. At dawn today a rescue crew
reported that it had conquered the
fall and the high water in the mine
and had found twenty-five bodies
there. 1t was believed for time
that the men in number eight had
escaped the fatal blast, but the bo-
dies showed that flames. swept that
part of the mine and that the deadly
gases had finished the work of the
fire. Thirty-two of the Ill miners
entombed by the blast still are miss
ing.
Rescue men, working through the
Browns airshaft brought up forty
four bodies last night and early today
The bodies discovered along entry
number eight will not be brought
to the. surface for at least twelve
hours, officials of the Wheeling Steel
Corporation, owners of the mine, an
nounced. These bodies must be
hauled to the airshaft and then
hoisted on a1tackle. The, wrecked
condition of the mine makes speed
impossible. for the rescue workers
are forced to fight against cave-ins
