 SILvERS IN 4TH
 ROUND OF BOUT
Sends Silvers Daisy Pick ing. After Three
 Tame Sessions

Joe Collier, after three tame rounds in the Legion's main event Saturday night, at the A. B. Hall, plastered a slashing right on Doc Silvers' debonair countenance and when Doc arose to walk back to his corner the customers, both cash and credit, were filing out the exit of the new fight emporium operated by the eX-warriors.
 -s was a good night for a lot Of f..g.lts, and things moved along q1-sc satisfactorily in that direction until the Collier -Silvers shindig. S-.ne of the boys who paid for their pasteboards with ready money made wry faces over the decision in the semi-final which was officially de- clared draw-but all in all, it was a pretty good show till the big go.
 Down Tn First
 Silvers started out like he was going to use the ring floor as a flop for the night. In the mixup close to the ropes after two min ]. utes of fighting in the opening stanza, Doc wrapped his arms t around his lower tummy, crossed his legs and, with a pained express sion as if he. had been hit some where in Lapland, deposited him self gently on the floor. There he rested until the gong ended the round. The referee, a physician and one or two bystanders gave him the double o" and resumed their seats. Apparently Doc thought he had been hit in verboten spot, but the examining board didn't con- cur and the fight, such as 1t was, 2 was resumed.
 The second round went by with all the quietness of deserted training sector, both boys success fully avoiding anything that might have resembled unpleasantness. It was less than tame The third round slipped by in the same man. ner. but more so. More frlction has been encountered lots Of times at an oldfashioned silver tea.
 Ended Without Warning
 Then came the fourth and last frame. Shortly after it opened Doc landed the first really clean blow of the engagement. It was a left to the chin and didn't do any damage, only upset Joe's composure for q minute. Doc seemed about to solve Golfers peculiar defense i He connected with second left a little later, and Joe must have thought Doc was getting in ear ,a nest. If so, he resented it. Less than a minute later, in a Hurry near the ropes, he poked Sllvers in the tummy sort of rough and then slammed a right to the jaw and while Silvers wilted to the canvas. Joe grinned happily from his corner. The referee needlessly counted ten and Joe vaulted the ropes and made his way to the cashiers office for the easiest dl- nero he's collected in lots of moons and suns, too.
 Judges Say It's Draw
 One judge and the referee ruled that Eddie Roberts was entitled tc a draw verdict in his mixup with a Schoolboy Sammy Nelson. That's the basis the two boys were paid off on. But the other judge and big percentage of the fans saio it was Sammy's by mile.
 let it go as a draw. But the tale of the bout by rounds tells a different story. The lads did split even in the first round which was really not hot. Both tried for an e opening but neither found it. Rob erts a head taller than Nelson looked the flashier, but Sans charging tactics bothered him at the outset and troubled him more as the fight progressed.
 Nelson landed two solid rights tc Roberts head in the second, and was clicked over the heart him. self. He was on the aggressive most of the time and kept boring in Roberts could stand him off sue cessfully enough to make it box s ing match.
 Blood in the Third
 Nelson drew blood from Roberts
