ing bouts in which young men from thu
c. c. c. camps of Lincoln county were
the performers. Of the seven bouts ir
the program, six Of them were fast anc
furious" and two of them almost result
ed in knockouts.
The opening number was between
two colored lads from the Pipe Greek
camp, Nell Gibbons and James Rob-
erts, both 118 pounds. These young
blackbirds were fast with their fists
but didn't seem to have any desire tc
hurt each other and their effort was
rather tame.
Second Bout Was Good
The second bout was between Elmer
Armstrong, 135 pounds, Of the Troy
camp, and Jack Surrey, 133 pounds
from. ReMord. These boys were real
fighters and kept boring in through
the entire three rounds. Surrey had q
wicked swing that he succeeded in
landing repeatedly, but Armstrong was
strong and rugged and kept wading in
and trading stiff iolts with his oppo-
nent. 1t was battle royal throughout
the three rounds with Surrey declared
the winner Some considered this the
best bout Of the evening.
The third preliminary was an ex-
hibition between two fast colored boys
James Perry, 1873 pounds, and Dixie
Kid. 136 pounds. The Kid was intro
duced as junior lightweight champion
of South Jersey. In the first two rounds
of this 60, Perry seemed to be getting
the best Of it. He was apparently more
aggressive and landed more tellin
punches, but the Kid wasn't idle by
any means. The last round, however,
was the Kids He walked INTO Ter
ry with telling effect and soen had him
proggy When the last bell sounded
Perry was practically out and his sec
onds had to work over him considerably
to keep him from fading away. This was
a no-decision bout, but the Dixie Kid
was easily the winner. Both OF these
boys were clever and fast.

referee charging Smith with hitting at
once with both hands. The entertainers
in this bout were Clarence Smith, l5l
pounds, and John Sallen, LAT pounds

another lad that shows much exper-
fence. He is strong and knows the game

strong and active and kept croWdlne
Smith in his efforts to give Smith as
good as he was receiving.
