It is A relief to attend a boxing exhibi- tion In which the principals never entertain a thought of stalling, holding on, or clinching. Eleven boxing bouts end three ‘wrestling matches were dished up to the crowd last evening, and every one was a credit to the word “sport.” The boxing exhibitions were fast and all cleanly fought, and the wwrestling matches were short, snap- PY and indicative of the fact that those engaged in the art knew the game they had choven from start to finish. An entertainment of this sort de- merves the patronage of the people of Casper. All credit is due “Red” Roe, tournament manager, who has worked night and day for three weeks or more to put the contests over. Working up amateur en- thusiasm {s no picnic, and to do it successfully requires a man of con- siderable personality and unbounded energy. Last evening’s amateur attrac- tions were staged in a snappy way which found approval with every fan in the house. The fighters in each instant were @carcely out of the ring, when the principals in the next battle were elimbing through the ropes. The bouts were opened a bit late, due to an election of officers in the Elks’ hall earlier in the evening, but once under way, the program proceeded without « hitch. §. Last night's contests only started Sthe tournament.

As last night's bouts and matches were of jthe elimination variety, tt is impos- wible to give any figures upon the jstanding of the various teams en- tered in the tournament. In fact ho definite report can be given until the conclusion of the finals Saturday night.

This action is practically calling the bout a draw. Missou Pyle, of the Casper Athle- tie club, and Clifford Williams of the American Legion fought in the 105 pound class in the second bout. Williams proved no match for Pyle weight, 138. who slugged him into oblivion in the “second frame, Pyle bids fair to develop into a whirlwind boxer, and with a little age and experience 121. will no doubt ranks. The third bout brought together two lads, who were as evenly match- enter professicnal ed as any throughout the evening.! 104. Fred Valdez of the Standard proved too rugged for Clinton Lester of the Smokehouse, and although the bout 142 went one extra round, Valdez was really the classier fighter and harder of the two. They are welters, Elick Foster of the Standard and Horace Renham, of the Smokehouse, a pair of 92 pounders chased each other about the ring for three rounds and the decision went to Fos ter. Charles Semler, of the Legion in giving away 20 pounds to fight Bil’ Bissler, of the Smokehouse, ran into too much beef, and although he ‘asted the full three rounds, was badly beaten. The men fought in the 158 pound class. Carl’ Runden, of the Texas Re- finery won the decision over Billy Logan, of the Smokehouse in the 95 pound class. Neither proved to be an especially brilliant performer. Elmer Carey, of the American Legion team, outdanced and out Punched Harry Burham of the Smokehouse although four rounds were required to reach that conclus- fon. Carey's footwork proved a cir- cus in itself. Had Owen Semler, of the Legion and Chuck Withers, of the Standard been in better condition, their bout might have gone one extra round to determine supremacy. Neither lad was able to continue after the ter- mination of the third round, and they were therefore held over to Friday night. The boys fought in the 125-pound class. Mickey Stanton of the Smoke- house outsocked J. R. Buckley, of the Standard although Buckley sur- prised the fans by putting up a better battle than his. condition seemed to warrant. The fighters were lightweights. We may call the battle between Sam Cooper, of the Burlington A. C. and Mike Malone of the Smoke House, the feature attraction of the evening. Malone is a ‘heavyweight while Cooper is only slightly over the welter ~ mark. =-Nevertheless Cooper poked Malone out of a de- cision and kept the big fellow from laying more than three or four sloves on him during the entire bout. Malone seemed bewildered and unable to decide what to make of the lanky fighter he found before him. Cooper will also fight in the 158 pound class. Arnold Pocan, of Laveye, and Stan- ley Stevens of the Casper A. C. met in the wind-up attraction. Stevens was awarded ‘thes decision after three hard rounds. He had Pocan in a bad way in the second round when he sent him to the canvas for the nine count. Pocan wis bleeding | profusely at the close of the match.

It is much better to hear them howling for reasons why he was not fighting good ones than to hear himself con- demned for ruining a good boy by asking too much of him. In the fight business it seems that the gallery is not willing that a youngster should get a chance to learn. There ere no demands made upon a baseball manager to send his prize rookie in to bat against the best pitcher in the league, until he has been able to learn something, about major league baseball. Firpo was condemned a year ago when he was beating a lot of setups and when he answered the demand for_a fight by signing with Jack Dempsey he was criticized for taking a championship fight before he was ready.

This is the first disconsolate note that Killefer has given voice to for six months, All winter he has been optimistic about the Cubs’ chances of rating up with Pittsburgh and Cincinnat! in the attack on the Giants. But with the training season at hand, Killefer finds that the only thing he has in the way of port- siders ts Dumovich, a wind-shaken reed, and a kid named Pierce. Neither of them is lkely to pitch to victory the team that Captain Anson made famous, Dumovich, who began in the Pacifio Coast feague, hasn't freed himself from his minor environment. And Pierce knows the. call of English grammar better than he does the sarcastic Several years ago, at a time when there was a lot of competition in the lightweight class, Jimmy Doucherty brought out Bobby Barrett, a Phila- delphia boy, who looked ilke a big winner. Dougherty got him a couple When Brooklyn permitted Barber to go to Little Rock, it passed along an outfielder who has batted better than .300 in three years in the majors, and yet can't hold a job in fast company. Barber has had some novel ex- perlences in major ball. He walked into @ game against the Giants as a pinch hitter almost at the begin. ning of his career, and spilled it for New Yerk. Hoe did it again, and by that tirae the Giants were as wary of him as a hound pup of a wild cat.
