ON SUPREMACY
Lee Was Given a Slight I'm.
Official Decision Over Bat
in Last Meeting
BOTH IN GOOD SHAPE.
Card of Five Bouts Will Be
Staged Next Friday in
Auditorium
BOTH IN GOOD SHAPE

Lee Cavanagh, crack Bismarck
welterweight, and Bat Krause, vet
eran Hazen boxer, will meet in . TO-
round boxing feature here Oct. 5, it
was announced today.
The two pugilists, who have been
staging q feud in regard to welter-
weight supremacy in this district,
met in q 1O-round headliner about a
month ago, and according to the
referee Of the match, Lee had the
margin Of victory though the fight
was called draw.
Now, Bat Krause objected to this
decision greatly, and voiced his
opinion to the Bismarck Tribune and
many Bismarck boxing fans.
So another fight has been ar
ranged. It will be staged in the au-
ditorium next Friday night.
The announcement of the match
here followed an announcement that
the Cavanagh-Watson scrap had
been Cancelled definitely. Watson
hurt his leg shortly before he was
scheduled to meet Lee at Lake Will
liams and the fight at that time was
postponed.
In the last fight Cavanagh is said
to have floored Krause three or four
times in the 10 rounds. Krause de-
mics this, and claims he will prove
its absurdity in their next engage
ment.
Promoters are making ready to
take care of one Of Bismarck's larg-
est boxing crowds. Both boxers
have Leen training hard all sum-
mer.
Four preliminary bouts are being
arranged though only two Of them
have been announced. Indian Tommy
Short, Fort Yates 140-pounder, will
meet Kid Musky. Wilton, in six
rounds. They are both welters. Bat
Ting Cecil Parks and Soldier Spare,
Fort Lincoln, will meet in another
six-round affair. Parks weighs
148 and Spare 144. Spare won a
close decision over the Fort Lincoln
star in their last encounter.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
Worn Out Horses Are
Barred from Tracks

Louisville, Ky.,y (AP)-The worn
out old racer will pass from Ken
lucky tracks January l, under q new
ruling Of the state racing commits
sion now awaiting final adoption by
that body.
The ruling provides that after
that date no selling platers-horses
without sufficient class to contest
in stakes, handicaps and allowance
purse races-more than seven years
old may race on any Kentucky
track.
Kentucky horsemen expect other
racing commissions in the United
States to take similar action.
It is probable that the rule will
prevent some 1900 horses from
racing in the Bluegrass.
Experts estimate that 1000 two
year-olds are coming annually to
American tracks and though more
tracks are springine up each year,
there is congestion which prevents
many Of these from suitable trials.
The proposed measure, experts
say, is simply . business proposition
to put new blood in racing.
