icfn al OF o0
and never let up until Chrlsty went
down for the count in the closing Sec
Onds of the third setto. Alternating
his left smashes to the head with hard
right crosses to the body and chin. the
local battler won every round by a
wide margin and battered the st. Paul
fighter from one corner Of the ring to
another.
Fails TO Answer Bell
Christy was bleeding freely from
the head late in the third when De-
maray put on the finishing touches
with a terrific right hand punch that
knocked the St. Paul boy nearly out
of the ring. Referee Red Schacfer
began counting as the bell rang for
the end of the round. Christy was
still out when it was time to report
for the fourth round and Schaefer
awarded Dcmaray technical knock
out.
In the semi.Windup, Mel Engle,
sharpshooting local featherweight,
knocked out skinny" Taylor of Sc
attic. Wash. in the second round OF
a One-sided mix Taylor scarcely hit
the local batt!er III the first round
but continued to lash out and then
hang on as Engle measured him with
nice let's to the head. In the second
round Englc hit the dusky fighter
with a hard right to the kidneys that
didn't take effect for some seconds.
When it did take effect the Negro
slumped to the floor and had to be
carried from the ring.
OSsie Bell Il Stablemate OF TaylOr's,
rallied in the third and fourth rounds
to win close decision from Rusty
Granting Of Bismarck who had piled
up a comfortable margin in the first
two stanZaS. Granting carried the
first two rounds chiefly by offensive
fighting but the Negro fighter opened
Up with rights and let's in the third
and had the better of the infighting as
the local scrappcr tired in the fourth.

Otto Pietrowski Of Fort Lincoln re-
covered from some heavy punishment
he took from Wild Bill Hasselstrom
in the opening round to punch out
clear decision over the local man.
The soldier went down for short
count from hard right uppercut in
the opening setto but came back
strong to take the second and fourth
rounds by wide margins Both fight
crs were groggy al the end Of the
bout.
Ernie Potter. veteran ring soldier.
packed too many guns for Sailor
Ferns of Portland, Ore. and won by a
Knockout in the first 80 seconds Of
the second round. Potter had big
advantage in weight over his ad-
versary and used it effectively as he
battered the Portland boxer with ter
rifle rights and let's from the opening
gong. Ferns was saved by the bell in
the first round and Potter ran across
the ring at the opening OF the second
to make short work of the finish.
Jimmie Slattery, director Of the fed
eral transient camp at Minot but for
merly Of Bismarck, piled up a big
margin in the last three rounds to
