The outdoor istic season locally
closed in blaze of glory and gore,
Tuesday night at Fl. Harrison and
even some of the fans appeared
punch dizzy at the conclusion of
the main go of ten rounds in which
Red Uhlan got the better of Chief"
Jack Elkhart in a melee that had
the crowd in an uproar throughout.
The entire card was a "pleaser"
and the large assemblage of specta-
tors voted it just about the best of
the year.
In other scraps, Royal Cox out
pointed Red Rodman in eight
rounds. Joe Dillon edged out a vic
tory over Carl Schmadel in six SEES
sions, Eddie Roberts shaded Willie

Cox sent against stronger opponents
at his own weight. He has been
fighting in these parts long enough
to take a chance.
Elkhart Down Twice
In the feature attraction Elkhart
got away to flying start and an
neXed the first round easily. Uhlan
was stung and the punishment put
him on fire. He launched a hard
body attack and later varied 1t
with left hooks to the face. In the
fifth round Elkhart was sent spin
ming with blood streaming from his
mouth. He was knocked fiat for
the nine count, regained his feet
after a struggle and then went down
again under barrage of terrific
punching.
He got up from the second knock
down in short order and staggered
through the remainder OF the round.
Uhlan on Floor
The Chief" recovered slowly,
found his bearings and finally got
back into the scrap with plenty of
vigor. He connected in the eighth
and down went Uhlan for a short
count. Uhlan was in distress, but
escaped and lasted the round.
And the boys finished the scrap
with as much steam as they could
muster, Uhlan winning the last SEES
sion. Uhlan's handlers asserted he
hurt his left hand in the wild fifth
round.

The youngster is Lee Hardy and
halls from Lexington, Ind. He took
to the trade of plotting the horses
just about one year ago and early
demonstrated his ability as jockey.
Natural Ability
He has good seat, strong hands
and a level head, according to one
enthusiastic Cincinnati sports writ
er, whs acclaims him the most prob

Sande, king pin of the jockey world.
Hardy first attracted attention at
the Hawthorn and Lincoln fields
tracks in Illinois, where he rode 100
winners, 100 second placers and 122
thirds.
Holds Riding Lead
Such record easily gives him the
lead over all American riders. The
same Cincinnati sports scribe, who
waxed poetical over Hardy's ability,
stated that Earl Poole was the only
rider on American tracks who could
compare with Hardy in natural abil-
ity and further stressed the point
that as soon as the youngster loses
