ner. O'Kelly was the better fighter, but
Higgins was the best drinker His drink
ing ability was too much for his OPP
ponent. Both were badly beaten and
bruised; their faces were cut from
punches and scratches; their chests
and bodies bore humps and flesh
wounds; their legs were bruised black
and blue from occasional kicks or falls.
Higgins gave up more blood and
looked much the worse Of the pair.
When OKelly stumbled and fell from
missing a blow rather than being hit
by one, he lay on the ground, dead
tired, liquid as well as punch drunk
After several minutes had elapsed. and
the silence Of the small group was
broken only by the shores of O'Kelly,
higgins was declared the winner.
There was no purse, no side bet made
by the men who fought. They fought
only for the purpose of determining
who was the better man in a fight. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that bets we're
made by the small gallery.
Started, Quit AS Friends
OKelly and Higgins had been pals
for several years. When they hit the
post, one long since forgotten, O'Kelly
mentioned that he was the best man
with his dukes in the territory. Higgins
took issue with him. They argued for
many minutes, finally agreeing to go
outside and settle the matter. A set Of
rules were agreed upon. They were TO
toe q mark within a small square, etc.
The men fought viciouSly all after
noon but many times they resorted toI
going down to their knees to save pun
ishment. They readily agreed to stop
for supper and ate at the same table,
continuing their argument with words
instead of fists. Under the tallow
lights, the bout was resumed. Each

was not unusual for both men TO be
on the floor at the same time. Rounds
would go by without blow struck,
then bitter exchange would be lOos-
ened. Then a round OF drinks for every
one Ia the house. And the battle would
be ON again.
The next day the men left the post
as they arrived-together And from all
accounts they were "buddies" for many
years.

given word-of-mouth circulation after
the brawl was over. The bout, with all
intermissions included, absorbed more
than nine hours of time, with more
than 200 rounds supposed to have been
fought. A round ended when a man
was knocked to the floor, or wrestled
to the floor, or If either principal
touched knee to the floor whether
he was hit or not, or stepped out Of
the square where they were to fight.
The square or ring was six feet over
all, with a line in the center. 1t was
q fight to the finish-ending only
when one or the other combatant was
completely manned or would holler
quits" Such a thing as a decision
wasn't included in the scheme Of
things.
The rules provided that either con-
testant could propose a rest period at
any time, but 1t had to be mutually
agreed upon. These rest periods would
allow time for liquid refreshments or
for bite TO eat or simply to get sec
ond wind" A round would resume at
the pleasure Of the referee, rather than
by clock.
Long intervals occurred when ref
cree changes we're made. These inter
walls were devoted TO arguments on the

to the expansion of the business
moved to larger quarters at 440 N.
Capitol Ave, and up to the present
time is still at the same address.
Although one of the youngest deal
erS in years, Mr.. Fink is one
of the oldest men in years of
service on Capitol Ave. Under his
leadership the business has been
built up to where the firm now is
carrying one Of the largest and
most complete stocks in the State
of Indiana. He was one of the first
to feature long time contracts with
low down payments.
Another of Mr.. Fink's policies is
that he has always advocated put
ting cars in shape before delivery to
customers to insure uninterrupted
and satisfactory service.
Due to the increase of their bust
ness they are opening lot at AIT
N. Capitol Avenue which will be in
full swing by May LIST and will fea-

as they have in the past.
Ralph Fink to those who know him
is possessed of courage, which was
borne out by his going into busi-
ness when the depression would
have scared most people and max
ing success of it. This same cour-
age is reflected in his convictions,
and is looked upon both as high
