trolle, Fargo, N. d., and Dock Smell,
Tacoma lightweight, battled to a six
round draw last night. Majority of
the fans appeared to favor Petrolle
because Of his superior boxing abil-
ity while Smell piled up his points
by aggressiveness. It was batter
ing maui throughout.
Petrolle, shifty and clever mauler
as we'll as sterling puncher, lived up
to advance notices. Smell, unortho-

mauling and paving away to even
things up.
Petrolle in the fifth round batter
ed Smell badly, opening up a cut
over Docs eye and scoring with
jolting rights and lefts. Smell.
withstood the battering, however.
In the sixth and last round Petrolle
again tried for a knockout shooting
rights to the chin, but Smell, con-
queror of Jimmy McLarnin, took
the blows and grinned, his face
streaming with blood, and his arms
swinging in return.
Petrolle, the better boxer and hard
err puncher, escaped unscathed from
the battle, while one of SHELLS eyes
was badly cut and swollen.
Jack Hurley, Petrolle's manager,
expressed dissatisfaction with the
verdict. Both Hurley and Petrolle
