His Recire

Robert Edeson, the veteran actor
now one of the celebrities OF screen
land admitted to some friends the
other day that he was growing old
in leaps and bounds.
'No such thing!" declared a fair
defender. "You look as young as
YOU did when 1 was little girl"
Maybe" said Bob, with a chuckle
''but if you had to cross Hollywood
boulevard every day. you'd agree with
me that it is only by leaps and
bounds that one has the slightest
chance OF reaching old age"

eternal question OF prohibition said

veteran Lew Tender of Philadel-
phia, ring marvel Of past decade.
Meeting in the Madison Square

gave Tender a sound thrashing and
had him on the verge Of knockout

Hudkins rocked Tender with a
right to the jaw in the seventh

to hold on. Lefty Lew was sinking
slowly under his opponents hard
punches when the gong came to his
rescue. The 10th found Tender

Although the old timer was
noticeably outclassed, some 10000
fans booed the judges verdict and
Hudkins, while the venerable Tend
Ter. who has been boxing for more

plause.

ity.
Thud, thud, thud, with sickening
regularity, both boys slugged ',eir
way into the ropes, resin and referee
through six rounds that had their
only lulls in the vicious clinches.
So torried was the pace, SO un-
mcrcifully did they punch each
other, that both were totterirg on
quivering legs at the final bell.
Schacffcr Gets Decision
Schaeffcr was given the decision
largely because he delivered the
clcancst punches and fought heady
fight against the on-rushing Sioux.
One round was like another.
Squared off, the Indian would hurl
his left and then smash forward into
the body with right. Schaeffer
countered with the neatcst shoulder
this side the Ziegfcld Follies. 1t
was always in the way as was that
pendulum right that seemed to sink
inches into the copper-colorcd skin
or landed flush on the rubber jaw.
The Chief took two punches to
every one he landed, collected enough
resin on his gloves and tights to
! furnish all the violin players in
North Dakota, and came up smiling
every time his head jerked back
from dynamite blows.
Tommy Burns. Bismarck light

dan, scuffled through four round
scrap that ended in draw. Tom
my had the spirit but he couldn't
seem to stay on his feet, for every
time he waded in and missed a
punch, he hit the deck. Mcdonald
was content to fight a defensive
battle all the way. Had he done
otherwise he would have walked off
with a decision, for he was by far
the clcverest boxer and delivered the
smartest blows.
Gray Shows Promise
Bismarck put forward lad in the
third preliminary that has the ear
marks Of a corner in the ring,
namely Jack Gray, who waded into
Billy Miska Of Mandan for four
rounds to earn shade decision.
Jackie, a junior lightweight, showed
a right that packs plenty Of sleep
and a jabbing left that goes straight
to the mark. Plenty OF polishing
should bring this youngster to the
| front, for he has an ideal ring build
wide, muscled shoulders. taper
ing trunk, sturdy, wcll-proportion-
cd legs. and a pair of arms that
would be the envy Of any black
smith.
The four round bout between
Young Petrolle of Fargo and Matt
Hummel Of Bismarck, was called a
draw. Petrollc showed that he had
had more ring training but his ply
steal makeup was not quite ade-
quate for conqucring the bludgeon-
ing Hummel. The Fargo boy had
trouble solving Mats style while
Hummel had trouble landing clean
blows on the weaving Petrolle.
Raising the curtain, were Skeet
Mccoy Of Mandan and Eddie jeff
ries Of Bismarck. These two So
pound mites slammed their way to
q four round draw. Neither boys
made any trips to the .loor despite
the resounding echoes Of their
gloves as they Slapped each other
in face and body while the crowd
applauded.
Lee Cavanaugh. erstwhilc Billings
wclterweight, and Bat Krause, who
needs no introduction. were APP
| plauded who introduced from the
ring. Both boys issued CHALLENGES
to anyone who cares tc meet them
at their weights.

final, Jimmy Dugan, Bismarck well

Knockout from Joe Wicks. Glendive,
Montana, when the so-called He'll
cat having had all Of the l. taken
out Of him failed to answer the bell
in the fifth round before a capac-
ity crowd at the Rex theatre last
Fight fans audibly grumbled and
wore . cynical smile when the two
headliners went to the center of the
ring to get their final instructions
from o. w. Roberts, the referee.
On the one hand they viewed the
Capital City STRIPPING, four inches
taller and visibly heavier, while on
the other hand they noticed a squat,
compact figure with stubby arms
and legs.
There was no doubt that the main
bout contenders were uncvenly
matched and barely had the gong for
the first round sounded when the
mis-match was evident as Dugan
stretched forth . snaky left that
raped and slapped the Montanan
without a return.
Like the battling left that one
week ago kept Billy Petrollc from
landing the championship punch on
vital spot of Sammy Mandell, SO
did that portside flailer Of Dugans
hold Mr.. Wicks at bay.
Wicks Tried
Wicks was game. The few times
that he succeeded in brushing the
tantalizing mitten aside, he pun-
meled Jimmy's midriff with STAG
cato blows. He started like a hurri-
cane but finished like q Debated
balloon.
After the unequal battle the mis-
match was explained.
Said Wicks-"A few years ago !
fought Dugan and lost on a foul
after / had established a winning
lead on points. When the Mysteri-
Gus Promoter asked me to meet
Dugan, ! jumped at the chance to
prove / was a better man. But
Jimmy has grown six inchc, since
that last time and he is out of my
class. I was to blame. / told the
Mysterious Promoter was heavier
than really am. I'm sorry. but
guess the red-blooded fans will un-
derstand.'
In extenuation, it ,an be said that
Wicks tried and gave his best but
no little man can ever hope to beat
\ biz man, their abilities icing even.
From first to last, it was case
If Jimmy iabbing with his left and
hooking to body and chin with his
right. Wicks manfully defended
himself but had no opportunity to
land . lucky punch SO good was
Jimmy's defense. Wicks did show
up q weakness in the Bismarck
mans armor at infighting, Jimmy
WAS forced to clinch.
Wicks Hits Deck
In the second round. Wicks hit the
resin when Jimmy unlcashed a short
right lab that landed flush on Wicks
tough chin. It would have knocked
the ordinary ringster out but Wicks
buried his nose in the dust, supinely
regained his strength and was up
and at Dugan as Roberts raised his
hand the eighth time.
Both boys floundered around the
ropes in the third, Wicks as red as
q boiled shrimp from the countless
blows that had flecked his .epidermis
while Jimmy, pale and wan, gener-
ously withheld his dreamland dis
pat6her.
