DES MONIES LAD
STEALS SHOW
BY Billy Davis

Carroll Heath alias Jack Gans)
of Des Moines who is a middle
weight fighter put up one of the
greatest and gamest fights that
has been seen in Omaha for a
long time. He also fought a very
good boy who was right in there
throwing plenty fist from the be-
ginning of the bell. Little Jack
Cramer whom Cans knocked down
four times doing the fight was
very game. He tried to keep on
fighting after being floored. 1t was
too much Cans from the End round
on. Cramer started right at Jack
with a rush, when the first bell
rang. The crowd were on their
toes yelling for Cramer. But cool
en-, Cans just let Cramer keep
on rushing him. And tying him at
Il times. Then after Cramer had
began firing. Jack turned on the
steam. He hit Cramer with a
stiff right to the head in the third
round that sent him clear across
the ring. Where he landed on the
canvas with his eyes glaring at
the stars from then on it was
Cans all the way until Referee
Fidler had to stop the fight be-
cause Cramer was badly beaten.
This fight was the best fight on
the card. In the finals, Vinciquerra
knocked out old Charley Belanger,
the Canadian champion in the first
round. It looked as if the novice
we're fighting. The knockout was
very much disliked by the fans.
