Raymond Batter Surprises Fans.
Before a packed house at the Far
ner-Labor Temple Friday night of
last week, Nels Moe of Plentywood
won from "Alkali' Pete Hendricks
meier of Raymond in one of the best
eOXing matches ever put on in Plen-
,yNvOod.
a good set o. preliminaries was
tagged before the main bout, consist
ing Of q two round bout between
l.obl19 and Gunderson which was
royal battle. The youngsters were
given q draw. Vic Van Hee and Err
yin Mamie went two rounds to a
d-aW Young Zimmerman and Rein
ertsou vent four rounds to a draw,
which was very good, both boys go
ing their best. The serli-final be-
tween Hare and SINNERS was a clas-
sical affair and went 5 rounds and
was greatly enjoyed by the audience.
The boys Ior-ht a draw.
Immediately after the preliminaries
the main bout took place Just be-
fore the boxers came into the ring,
Tate of Poplar challenged the Win
ner of the bout to match.
Moe and Hendricksmeier then came
into the ring and were roundly ap-
plauded as they took their corners,
preparatory to putting on the gloves.
ii. w. Clue of Poplar, manager of
Robbins refereed and talked over the
manner of fighting with the partici-
pants and they took their corner to
await the sound of the bell.
At the rIrst tingle of the bell, both
fighters sprang to the middle of the
ring and began sparring for an open
ing. Moe found his left to Pete's
nose and drew first blood. From
then on the fight was fast and furi-
Gus. Noes experience in the ring
continuously stood him in good SER
vice and while keeping well covered,
shot out his left which found its mark
to Hendricksmeier's nose and jaw,
time after time. The Raymond bat
tier seemed unable to solve Noes
defense and attack and in the open
fighting lost practically every round
on points with the exception of the
ninth. The bout was characterized
by clinching, and because of the rul-
ing that fighting was to be permitted
In the clinches with one arm free, the
battlers punished each other severely
with body blows. Hendricksmeier
showed strong in the clinches and
weakened Moe considerably with body
blows, although unable to get long
enough swing to do heavy damage.
In the ninth round, an unfortunate
incident happened, when Moe stepped
out of clinch apparently with the
impression that Hendricksmeier was
also honoring the break, when bang
Hendricksmeir shot out a vicious
right catching Moe in the stomach
relaxed and with his hands down. If
the blow had been a little higher,
it would have caught Moe in the
solar plexus and the fight would
have finished right there. AS it was
Moe came back after recovering from
the nauseousness caused from a hard
blow to the stomach and finished the
round. Many fans were bowling foul
at this time, but the referee claimed
that Moe had also hit Hendricks
meier after breaking, and while it
did not injure the Raymond battler,
it evened matters up. The tenth
round found Moe again pecking at
"Alkali's" jaw and nose, but with no
telling effect. The round and fight
ended with both boxers going strong
The judges, one of whom sat on
one side of the ring and the other
opposite, compared notes, and round
for round, their notes compared ex-
actly and Moe was awarded the de-
cision.
After Noes hand had been raised
IN token of victory, he gave short
talk in which he praised the Raymond
battler as being one of the toughest
fighters he had ever met, which is
saying a good deal, as Moe has haC
considerable experience with some
pretty good fighters.
While few fans protested tn,
decision, claiming that the infightins
had not been given proper considera
ton, the award of the judges as
! whole was received with loud ap
plause.
Noes weight at ringside was givel
7 at 1873 and Hendricksmeier's 172
According to this Moe had an advant
age OF II pounds in weight. TIL,
difference in age Of the two boxer
5 was Is years, which gave Hendricks
meier a considerable advantage. Bu
D Hendricksmier has only fought fo
the past two or three years and theI
only with very ordinary boxers. Will

1 wrestling game for the past eighteel
= years.
:, The spectators were surprised a

:, only on points is boost to the Ray
