his transfer, Dickerson drew a bye
into the final round where he will
meet Bud Cottey, Oliver WPA.
Cottey, winner of the 1885 Golden
Gloves bantam crown, stabbed his
way to a decision over Milton Bess
Negro, Bess A. c., in the semi-final

blood early in the bout, but there
was more snap to Cottey's punches

Soldier Loses Suggest
A good old-fashioned SUGGEST, one
of the highlights of the show. re-
suited in the match between Jimmie
GustaffSon, Oliver-WPA middle
weight, and Donald Buckallew, Fort
Harrison. The soldier, who sla.shed
his way to a pair of impressive vic
tories last week, opened cut on
Gustaffson's right eye in the ini-
tial round. Jimmie rallied to take
a swapfest in the next canto, and
won the decision after bloody toe
to-toe smuggling match.
Boastful and scrappy in last
weeks matches, the Messer twins
Elmer and Elwood-decided that 100
pounds of scrapiron is not enough

Each conceded victory in the first
round when outmatched by husk-
Ter Negro fighter, and decided to
fight it out at home.

ment was registered by Bob Blue,
South Side Turner welter, who fin
ished Howard Bulls, unattached, in
Is seconds.

kayoes, Is decisions and one de-
fault whitfield the field down in the
ii matches on the card, which held
the attention of the fans for more

Gus fighting. The revived interest
and the new talent being uncovered
and encouraged by the Golden
Gloves tournament has fostered a
new interest in indianapolis. one of
the old fight centers of the nation.
Charles Hutton of Anderson,
brother of the 1885 Open cham
pion, made his debut last night
with an assorted repertoire Of
punches, and after a minute of the
second round, Roy Ward, unat-
tached, was ready to call it quits
and lost a technical kayo verdict.

from Elwood, ran into a tough as
signment and barely won over John
finder, U. S. Tire A. C. scrapper.
Charles Duncan, Bess A. G. Negro,

sion, added another decision last
