Mel Engle and Kid Zipp, two slug
ging featherweights with dynamite in
their favorite punches, battled for a
little over five minutes in their sched-
uled eight-round bout headnning
boxing card here Friday evening and
when it was over Kid zipp was out
victim Of a series Of hard rights and
let's to the head.
He rose just as Referee Jimmy Stat
terry was counting the 10th second but
was in such condition that the official
refused to let the battle continue.
Zipp fought strange fight, stalk
ing Engle and accepting Furnishing
let's and rights to the head apparent
ly just for an opportunity to land
his Sleep producer. But Engle never
gave him q chance. Zipp took several
shots at Engle with his potent right,
but only once-in the first round-did
he succeed in hitting his opponent a
good blow. He caught Engle in the
side of the head as the Bismarck
youth was moving away, and the blow
was robbed of much of its T. N. T.
Rest Was All Engle
The rest was all Engle-who batter
ed the westerner continuously. In the
middle Of the third two-minute round,
Zipp ran into stiff right to the head
that staggered him. Wasting no time,
Engle became the killer and landed
succession of rights and let's that
sent Zipp to the floor.
The semi Windup-though it didn't
last long-presented one of the incest
boxers ever to step into a Bismarck
ring in the person Of Sailor Wingaire
from Darlington. Wingaire, with his
bobbing, weaving, crouching style and
lightning like right, was everything
that the observing boxing fan would
want to see. This bout was bit dis
appointing, however, because Of the
fact the former COB was outweighed
10 pounds by his opponent. Wingaire,
however, landed two healthy rights at
the end of the second round. The
first put Ted Bird down for the count
Of nine and the second set the Tim
mer lads eyes rolling, the bell saving
him. Birds second refused to let him
come out for the third canto.
In the Thompson IverSon Skirmish
the fans saw In Thompson one who
could give it and in lverson one who
could take it. It was easily Thomp-
sons fight throughout-he was a bet
ter boxer and slugger-but 1verson's
gameness captured the fancy Of the
spectators.
Four times Iverson took it and went
down, and three times he arose asking
for more. Had not the bell ended the
fight when he was down the last time,
Iverson no doubt would have risen for
more. The Thinner youth went down
for nine in the first but managed to
stay on his feet throughout the Sec
ond. In the third he went down for
the count of nine again. In the
fourth he hit the floor for the count
Of eight and was down again when
the gong stopped the slaughter.
Richie, Bloom Willing
The Ritchie-Blo battle presented
more action in four minutes than has
been seen since the last time Rusty
Granting of Regan tangled with
Benny Rice of Mandan. From start
to finish the boys heaved them at each
other-tossing caution to the winds
hut outside of slips neither went down
in orthodox fashion. It was Ritchie's
fight by q shade. He might have won
by a greater margin except for his bad
habit of hooking his left arm about
Ibis opponents neck and fighting fol
the most part from semi-clinch
