+ FOUR TOP AWARDS; Zeller Defeats 220-Pound Foe in Successful Defense of Heavyweight Laurels | DANCER STOPS ROETHLER Vogel Scores Second Knockout on Program; Kanski Out- points Carr in Best Bout Three 1936 champions retained their titles and 13 other amateur boxers were crowned Wednesday night at the conclusion of the second annual North Dakota Golden Gloves tournament staged in Bismarck’s ‘World War Memorial building. Victorious Class A boxers turned their eyes toward the yearly North- ‘west tournament to be staged at Min- meapolis, Feb. 15-18. If a team of the newly-crowned state champions enter the Mill City event it will be the first time that western North Dakota has been officially represented in the annual classic. North Dakota's 1937 champions in- elude: Class A Flyweight—Lyle Purington, 109, Knox, Bantamweight—Fred Welk, 118, Minot. Featherweight — Ralph Parr, Dickinson. Lightweight — Lowell Elofson, 132, Bismarck. Welterweight—Reinhold Pfeif- fer, 137, Dickinson, Middleweight — Mike Kanski, 153, Wilton. Light-heavyweight — Ernest Dancer, 168, Werner. A Heavyweight — Robert Zell: er, _ 186, Mandan. Class B Flyweight — Dwight Elliot, 100, Valley City. Bantamweight — Joe Schneider; 14, 5 Lightweight—David Vogel, 135, Harvey. Featherweight — Ernest Sacks, 120, Bismarck. Welterweight — Lew Voltz, 144, Beulah, Middleweight—Tony Brooker, 159, Mandan. Light-heavyweight — Delbert Simpson, 168, Mandan. Heavyweight — Robert Callow, 184, Bismarck. Dancer and Zeliner in Class A and Brooker in Class B retained the championships they won last year. Capital City contenders, coached by Wiliam T. Bradford, copped off four titles with only two being forced to ‘appear in the final bouts; Mandan’s entries under the able guidance of the veteran Bat Krause, won three and Dickinson's battlers took two of the coveted titles. Purington, Welk and Callow had no competition in their respective weight . and class divisions and four more of the new titlists won their laurels through forfeits by their opponents in the final bouts. Two End in Knockouts - Only two of the championship bat- ties ended in knockouts with Vogel stopping Andrew Matheson of Halli- day near the close of the second round and Dancer flooring Clarence Roethler of Bismarck after only 42 geconds of fighting. Best bout of the evening was be- tween Kanski and the hard-punching Roy Carr of Fargo with Kanski get- ting the judges’ decision after three fast rounds. Kanski beat Carr to the punch in the initial stanza and ducked and rolled his Gate City op- ponent’s punches, but in the second Garr came back using a good left hand to stop the Wilton youth's Tushes and even up the fight. In the third round both boxers threw cautions to the winds and trad- ed blows without much regard to de- fense from the opening gong. Kanski finished the stronger of the two and Was given a 54% to 37% point de- cision by the judges and referee, al- though the margin of difference was gcarcely as marked as that. Zeller Whips Beutner Zeller spotted Valentine Buetner of Foxholm 34 pounds in the Class A wyweight finals and then proceeded to batter the Ward county behemouth into submission. The bout started out ‘ata fast pace but slowed in the final with both fighters extremely : landed several hard right- ; smashes on Buetner’s head in opening round and had his heav- opponent down for a count of after a furious exchange of midway in the second. Buetner ‘Was still groggy from the punishment "when he went to his corner at the end |.

Seven carloads of snow were scraped off streets of Escanaba, Mich., and shipped to Fox Grove. The events were watched by a crowd of 25,000, many of whom can be seen on the bare hillside, down when the bell ended the first round. Usselman was unhurt, how- ever, and rallied momentarily at the close of the second round after tak- ing a bad shellacking for a minute and a half. Elofson scored 68 points to 22 for Usselman, Simpson had no trouble in defeat- ing Albert Campagna of Bismarck in the finals of the light-heavyweight division. Waiting each time for the Bismarck youth to come in, he coun- tered with hard blows and had his foe down for a count of eight in the second stanza. The judges gave Simp- son 52 points to Campagna’s 38. Closest bout of the evening's per- formance was between Pfieffer and Raymond Luger of Fort Yates. Luger landed harder than Pfieffer but missed oftener. After each brief ex- change of blows, the two would clinch and there was only a shade differ- ence between the two. Two of the three scorers called the bout a draw and the third gave Pfieffer a scant edge. The scoring was 46% to 43%. Win Through Forfeits Johnny Schuck of Bismarck, who broke three bones in his foot Wednes- day afternoon, forfeited to Voeltz; William Weymouth of Bismarck for- felted to Brooker; Chuck Wilkie of Fort Yates did not appear for his bout with Schneider, and Billy Mears of Knox forfeited to Parr so that he might not spoil his chances of com- peting in the bantamweight division of the Minneapolis tournament. McNally and Tony Fiola of Medora acted as referees, with Giles Personius, A. D. McKinnon, Jr., and F. J. Spi- narski, all of Bismarck, and Lieut. Frederick Nagel of Fort Lincoln doing the judging. Approximately 600 per- sons attended the final bouts despite the inclement weather. Hagan Awards Emblems Awarding trophies to the victors, John N. Hagan, commissioner of ag: riculture and labor and ex-officio chairman of the state athletic com- mission, pointed out the value of the boxing program in helping to create sound minds in sound bodies and praised the works progress adminis- tration for sponsoring it, mentioning the fact that WPA Chief Thomas H. Moodie had been at the ringside. The bouts demonstrated, he said, that the “hit-and-miss” system will not work anywhere, since it operates no better in business and private life than in the boxing ring and that co- ordination of effort is necessary to success. The boxers had it in marked degree, he said. Praising the losers, he commented jthat they, too, had received benefits since any man must be able to “take it” as well as to give and that the training in controlling tempers and the future. carrying on under fire are invaluable, ‘The benefits of participation in the program, he said, will remain with all of the contestants long after the win- ning of the trophies has been for- gotten, Jimmies Snowbound At Aberdeen, S.

The Browns traded Julius Solters, Ivy Andrews, and Lynn Lary for the Indians’ Oral Hildebrand, Joe Vos- mik and Billy Knickerbocker. “Those boys at St. Louis knew what they were doing,” Traynor said while @ guest of the Indiana house of rep- resentatives. Vosmik? “He wasn’t so hot last year but you can look for a big sea- son in 1937; the records show that he has a great year every other season,” the Pirates’ chieftain explained. Hildebrand? “A swell ball player.” Traynor said Knickerbocker's medi- ocre season last year probably could be traced to an appendicitis opera- tion, Solters, Andrews and Lary? “Good ball players, but the Indians came out second best.” Asked if he would like to visit the state senate, Traynor answered, “if it’s the Washington Senators. I'm not 80 crazy about it because I've had a lot of experience with them. If it’s the Indiana Senators, I'll take a chance with them.” Eli Whitney did not gain wealth from his invention of the cotton gin, but did later from the manufacture of firearms. DR. R. S.
