Fort Lincoln's pugilists ended
their season last night without
scoring a knockout in 23 rounds of
milling. All Of the fights were mild
in comparison to those on the pre-
ceding card.
Drizzling weather and a small
crowd probably took the will to mix
from the Is doughboys who ap-
peared in the ring. Threatening
weather during the evening discour-
aged many who might otherwise
have attended the show. Rain in
terfered with the program slightly
during the second bout, driving the
fans occupying ringside seats to
shelter on the back porch Of the
adjacent barracks.
Two fights married the program.
Bradley and Mclean, lightheavy-
weights fighting an exhibition
match in place Of the Haight-O'Dell
bout, provoked cries of dissatisfac-
ton from the crowd. The judges
called it no fight. The husky fight
ers danced around the ring for
three rounds, neither landing a
healthy wallop. Stephen O'Donnell,
too old to fight Andy Graytax, ex-
cited sympathy among the watchers.
He was badly beaten, but won the
honor of being the gamest fighter
in the ring last night.
Nicholson Locks Good
Bob Nicholson, in whipping his
opponent for the second time, put up
the best fight of the evening. Cecil
Parks was no match for the winner
of the headline match, and was on
the mat several times. He was on
the floor when he bell ended the
second round. Parks did stage a
game comeback III the third round,
however, but Nicholson kept him in
check handily.
Next to Nicholson, Spare, well
terweight, looked the mos. impress
sive. Spare, in Licking Norton
showed that he had the makings of
a real fighter. His first round was
especially good. He demonstrated
that he could hold his head up at al
times, and take advantage Of his
openings with vicious attacks anC
follow-ups. Norton was no setup
however. He was game, husky. and
had good ring knowledge. Spare
outweighed him by seven pounds.
Alexander Is Game
Another game fighter who pleased
the fans was Enrol Alexander, tai
and slender featherweight. Out
weighed ten pounds by his opponent
Charlie Carter, he put up a game
battle in a hopeless fight. He j:
tough. He displayed his rugged
ness by battling Carter all the way
though he was knocked to the resin
several times.
| Bob Fortino was disappointing il
his draw match with Pascual Ortega
Ortega made the favorite look bat
in many places, and was much NOR,
rugged. Fortino jumped into sew
eral snappy punches fros-, the dark
skinned boy. The only thing tina
saved him from a good beating wa
his ability to jump around, feint
and duck.
Teddy Bequette and Rufus Hayne
put up a good scrap, though Be
quette had the advantage from tn
start. Bequette raised lump OF
Haynes right eye early in the sec
ond round. From thel. on the figh
was all Bequette. Haynes WASH
able to protect himself.
Condition Only Fair
The sixteen doughboys were i
only fair condition for the fight.
