Leaping at each other like young wildcats, a score of amateur leather pushers let uncontrollable windmills, an one last night at the second session of Casper’s first annual community feud. Leading off in an exhib and ‘Tuffy Worth. neither of whom weighed more than 75 pounds. With gloves that wave about like pillows the: ged # fast Uttle scrap that ended in ¢raw. First tn the regular program were Georgeg Kassis of the Smoke House and George Schuler of the as compar For 95-pounders these two put up a terrific jumping-jack riot. Three rounds were not enough to show which was the winner, so that it was necessary later in the evening to bring them together for another round which went to Schuler who had remained very calm throughout the fight until cornered. In the 125-pound class Bill Win- ner of the Standard and Ted Eschelman of the Smoke House were uncaged. With a left upper flashing wallop Winner connected with the Smoke House boy's head time after time. The result was that the bout. went to Winner, and a broken hand. Because of this accident Eschelman will have a chance to appear in the semi-finals tonight. Staniey Ellis, an immeasureably Jong and red-headed fellow, was en- tered, against the more abridged person of Hugh Dowler, Standard volunteer for the 145-pound class. Several button-touchers from Dow: Jer made Ellis spread like a spider across the canvas, but each time the long legs managed to unweave themselves and again push their owner's lean frame into an upright position. It was Dowler’s fight. And here's the cara of the eve: ning—at least one of the major ones. John McQueeney of the Bur- lington club at 167 pounds was thrown into the ring against the great 185-pound hulk of B. L. Mahaffery of the Casper Athletic clab. A steam crane would have come in handy for Mahaffery who each time before he decided he would take a punch at McQueeney, would draw back his mighty right arm. just as far back as he could get it and then start it back slowly in the direction of his opponent. It was an arm that looked Iike a side of beef and McQueeney was paralyzed every time he saw it carefully and frresistably moving toward his map. In the third round the Burlington boy picked up a lot and succeeded in putting over a number of jabs. but it was too late to keep the de cision from the giant. One of the best fights was in the 105-pound class between Johnnic Ufheil of the Legion and Bert Moore of the “Q’. It took an extra round for the judges to pick the winner and they picked Ufheil, First of the wrestling matches for the evening was between Arnold = Pocan of Lavoye and Glenn Renn of the Legion. With a body scissors on Pocan the bout went to Renn after eight minutes of strug- sling acrobatics all over the padded mat. Marvin Pyle stood up for the Cas- per Athletic club against Clement O'Malley of the Smoke House, 100-pounders, O'Malley went to h Kk and took the punishment that yle the bout. It took less than a round for Chuck Withers of the Standard to make Owen Semler of the Legion leap over the ropes and leave the ring. A sturdy blow to Semler solar plexus was the cause of h departure. These boys were in the 140 pound class. For ups and downs there was not a bout staged last night that com pared with the go between Earl Slick of the Casper Athletic club and Frank Vickery of the Burling ton.

(Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, March 8.—Any one who stopped riding a bicycle back in the nireties when a bike so far as pleasure purposes was concerned put in the museum along side the stuffed dodo, the hair cushion sofa and chromo of grandpa, will wonder where comes the tick in thig six day race at the Madison Square Garden. the gallery railings.

All these high up toward the eaves. Lower down in the more favorgd seats there are people one knows; politicians, lawyers, pugil. ists, actors, jockeys, oh everyone— but all doped like those above. And all around, except for the band sodden stillness. And then—a shout. Down on the track below some rider has come to life. With head down he glances around the oval as though demons from the pit were after him. And in another second they are, as a matter of fact, Whizz, whizz, whizz. The Garden awakens; cheers, cries, exclamations rend the fetid air. Then suddenly the excitement dies down.
