Six bouts. five Of which furnished
enough action to satisfy the most
blood demanding ring worm. featured
F. ]. Smiths Dome pavilion boxing
card Wednesday night. Only two
bouts failed to go the limit. Referee
Leo Macdonald tossing one pair out
Of the ring for not fighting while the
other ended In q technical knockout.
Jack McCann. North Dakota's
heavyweight champion. took on q
tough customer In Ralph Alexander,
Iowa titlist. the 10 round setto going
the full distance despite heroic efforts
Of both battlers to land q knockout
blow.
McCann favored to easily outpoint
or kayo the giant Hawkeye disap-
pointed his followers. the Sanger
Seekers timing being SO woefully off
he was punching holes in the smoke
filled arena air most of the time
while Alexander coolly warded off
Jacks most vicious attacks and took
the offensive most Of the time.
Iowa Mauler Good
Many fans left the Dome convinced
that the failing fireman had shaded
Mccain because OF his aggressive
ness. cleaner punching and more eff
fective infighting. McCann's coterie
saw no defeat claiming the North Da-
kotan'S long range work and the
punches he did land offset whatever
advantage the Waterloo mauler had.
Alexander, veteran Of many scraps.
called on hts experience and superior
condition, to staye off the challenge
Of his younger opponent. During the
10 rounds his most effective weapons
were straight left jabs to the face,
right hooks to the body with an &C.
casional overland right to the head.
In the clinches he resorted to club
bling left hands that had Mccain
vainly endeavoring to cover up.
McCann's left. ordinarily his most
effective delivercr Of punches, was
way off. Time and again, Jack
rushed In. hooking or jabbing. only 70
find hts target fading. McCann
doled out most Of his punishment
with right hooks shooting them re.
peatedly to Alexander'S head and
more specifically to his body.
Fighters Bjeed Freely
Both fighters opened old facial
scars during the first round and bled
freely throughout. Medical attention
was necessary when It was all over,
numerous ugly cuts and bruises mar
ring the features Of the fighters.
Alexander was strong throughout
the early rounds. His age counted
against him towards the last while
McCann's timing Of his punches bet.
tered as the fight wore on.
The most lively bit Of action &C.
Cured In the second round. Follow
ing an exchange In the center of the
ring, Alexander sent McCann through
the ropes with . vicious right that
caught Jack off balance. Mccain
came back swinging. shooting lefts
and rights that forced Alexander 70
clinch In order to sav3 himself from
the fury Of NcCanns attack.
Gunner Smith p1eases
Orrie Baldwin. protege Of Jake
Battling" Krause Of HaSen. started
strong but was on the run before the
end Of his six rounds with Gunner
Smith. Bislnarck's latest pugilistic
addition.
The Gunner showing smart ring
craft coasted through the first four
rounds sizing up BaldWin's attack and
then launched m u~ppercutting cam

had Baldwin groggy before the final
! bell changed.
Both boys won the favor Of the
fans BY their willingness to mix
Baldwin was best, 1t arms length
while tho former sAilor hanged awaS
in the cltnches. causing Baldwin
plenty Of misery.
