ser, Mandan youngsters. gave the
fans a neat little scrap in the cur
tain-raiSer.
The headliner opened with both
men fighting cautiously as each
sought to solve the others style. No
damage was inflicted during the mi
tial stanza and BROKER had a slight
advantage i'll the exchanges.
The second round saw both fight
ers come out from their corners to
engage in spirited exchange after
which they settled back to spar until
the end OF the stanza and honors
were even.
The Boomer came out in the third
with two-fisted attack that stood
the st. Paul lad up in his corner and
had him running for cover. During
the balance of the round BROKER
had things well in hand and beat
Short to the punch repeatedly. 1t
was Brokers round by a wide mar
gin and his best of the fight.
Short Wins Fourth
Short came out to do some fight
ing in his own right in the fourth
stanza. The fighters exchanged let's
during the balance of the round, and
Short emerged with "a slight advan-
tage.
BROKER stopped a couple of hard
rights to the head in the fifth round
when he charged in too suddenly in
corner. The Mandan lad also land
ed few rights but they lacked the
steam of Shorts punches and he lost
the round.
The boys fought to a draw in the
sixth, both missing frequently.
In the seventh the strain was be-
ginning to tell and the zip was lack
ing in the exchanges. Short, however.
landed more frequently and earned
the nod in the frame.
BROKER came out to flying start
in the final round and was the ag-
gressor during most of the stanza.
Short laid back and laced in a few of
his own and the round ended all even.
