City fistic circles by o~utpointing
Knockout Foster of Minot IN the
main go of the Elks boxing card at
the World War Memorial building
Monday night.
Watson won four Of six rounds to
take the decision. Foster earned
draws in the first and fifth stanzas.
Starting sluggishly, the fight drew
boos from the fans in the first two
rounds only to gather impetus in the
closing frames to bring the crowd to
its feet in a furry of excitement.
Foster elected to fight his battle
at close quarters and contented him
self with aiming jolting shots at Wat
sons midriff without much effort to
reach the boy from Dawson about the
head. Watson replied in kind and
countered right Justify at Fosters
body and shot over an occasional
belt to the head to pile up a margin
that was good enough to win.
The battle reached its most dra-
matte moment in the early seconds OF
the fifth round. Watson suddenly
appeared to wilt and Foster leaped in
eager to be in at the kill. Watson
managed to clear his head. however,
and dished out some heavy punish
ment in his own right that left the
Minot boy a bit groggy.
The sixth turned out to be in the
nature of an anti-climax with both
boys banging away but with the sting
gone out of their punches. Watson
won the stanza by a slender margin.
Dick Memeary of Aberdeen lived
up to his advance notices in giving
Lee Cavanagh as an artistic shell
lacking as has been seen in Bismarck
in many a moon. The South Dakota
boy gave a neat exhibition OF how it
is done in the best fistic circles TO
belt the veteran Lee all over the ring.
Lee used all the guile learned in his
long ring experience and was SILL
swinging when the bell rang.
Denny Wells of Bismarck wa too
strong for Jimmy Todd Of Medina and
was out ahead when the bell rang at
the close of their four round prelim-
mary bout. Jimmy used a left jab ef-
fectively but Denny got in a lick every
now and then which didn't do the
Medina boy any good. Jimmy showed
gameness and earned the applause OF
the fans even though taken into
camo by the hard swinging Denny.
fluffy Masseth abandoned his usual
Glowing tactics and gave Bat Brow
nagle of Strasburg a good old1aSn-
toned beating. There were still evl-
dences of fluffy wild lawmakers but
he showed a world of improvement to
land Furnishing punches on BroWnagle
time and time again. 1t was Tuf1y
fight all the way.
Johnny Spriggs Of Bismarck won
from Kid Engles of Happen over the
four round route in a crowd pleaser'
The dusky Bismarck youngster show
ed much of the speed that has made
him a star in other branches OF ath-
letics. Engles a willing and tough
but Spriggs was a little too fast.
Sunny Schlosser and Bat BROKER
of Mandan put on a four round ex-
hibition of plain and fancy fighting
that brought plaudits from the crowd
BROKER won the first two rounds but
the scrappy little Schlosser forced the
fighting in the third and fourth tt
make things almost even.
