ana tnree draws was the tally at I1ar-
ris Albert Sears birthday boxing bout
"Wednesday evening at City hall. The
tahulated results were as follows:
Bing Conley of Lewiston and Young
Joseph of Waterville. draw.
Spin Mcguire of Augusta and Larry
Walsh of Dexter, draw.
Young Brown of Biddeford won from
K. Q. Mayo, who was substituting for

minute 50 seconds.
Tommy Bergin of Lewiston won

Of Skowhegan in the fifth.
Oily Bert Tenney of IIallowell and
Heavy Oil Pete of Waterville. draw.
Bud Fisher OF Augusta won from
Young liutchins of Hallowell by a
knockout in two minutes.
In the main bout Conley led the mix
ing much of the way. Josephs tough,
on the defensive but connected with
many telling ones and at times made
Conley look foolish by his slipping,
sidestepping and ducking. In the fifth
JoSephs uncorked and for portion
of that frame had the Lewiston boy
in trouble. Conley rallied and just at
the end of the round as they were
clinched in neutral corner, Josephs
fell through the ropes and to the floor.
He quickly returned to his corner and
was ready for the sixth round at the
bell. Conley did not impress the fans
by his style of fighting, as he wres-
tied Josephs all over the ring and or,
numerous occasions did not break
clean.
In the Maguire-Walsh racket both
boys worked hard and they connected
frequently. Walsh has a beautiful de-
tense and it served him we'll on sew
eral occasions. Spin proved able to
take care of himself and the shifty
way he worked around the ring caused
Walsh to miss many. 1t was one OF
those battles that would make Angus
ia fans say Spin had a shade, and
Dexter boys think the same for Walsh.
This is the second good draw the boys
have staged in this city this year and
the fans like to see them work.
Promoter Sears stated that he had
been notified at noon by Dottie Marie
manager that Dottie would be present
for the evenings festivities but that
he had not reported and he did not
know where the Portland youth was.
He stated that he had secured the
services of X. o. Mayo of Lewiston to
substitute against Young Brown. The
Biddeford lad was one snappy, shifty
fighter and as quick as fash.
For about two minutes they

of the fans indicated their displeas-
ure at the outcome of the fight, all
though what kick they had coming
it is impossible TO tell. and Mayo
after recovering somewhat, declared
his willingness to continue IL they
felt they were not getting their
moneys worth.
Young Chudbuck of Skowhegan
put up a game exhibition against
Tommy Burgin. After getting n
draw on the first round, Burgin took
the second and third and in the
fourth round had the Skowhegan
youth down for the count of seven
at the bell. Chudbuck was plainly
all in and was SO tired that he wa
vered on his feet when he started
the fifth round. He tried nobly to
fight but after falling down his Sec
onds threw in the sponge. Neither
fighter saw it and the youngster kept
plugging ahead until Referee Sears
could pull him away from his OPP
ponent. ~ = ;
Oily Burt Tenney found Heavy OH
Pete, the Texaco Terrier, too slip
perry to nail as he had his two pre-
vious opponents and they fought to
a draw, although Tenney may have
had a trifie the better of the match.
Both boys We're very tired at the fl
nal bell and for several rounds there
was much clinching. The Waterville
Oil Company's representative ap-
peared to be little short on the
science of the game and early took
one on the nose that drew the claret.
In the final round the Terrier found
that he had left that hadn't been
working its passage and he got to
the Standard Oil boy with it several
times, bringing the blood to the
Hallowell lads mouth.
In the first bout of the evening
Bud Fisher had little trouble in
knocking Young Hutchins OF Halo
well for n row. The time was about
two minutes.
Beside the scheduled entertain
ment of the evening there were nu-
merous eXtemporaneous numbers
that kept the fans in good humor.
Before the opening bout. the Stand
ard Oil boys OF Hallowell presented
Promoter Sears with beautiful bou-
quet of assorted flowers in honor OF
his birthday. Harris was justly
proud of the tribute and insisted
that each of the performers should
inhale deeply of the fragrance OF
the blossoms before the first bell OF
their match. Further entertainment
was furnished between bouts by Kid
Lessard of Augusta. who played sew
eral piano solos. The young musi-
clan surprised Harris Albert as much
as anyone else when he opened up.
but he made a hit with the crowd
and Harry told him to carry on.

This was the fna! bout of the sea-
son and left a good flavor in the
mouth of the fans so that If Pro-
moter Sears decides to put them on
another season he will be able to
