punch at their command The swarthy chunky lad from Reno as gallant a ringman as ever stepped into a local ring thudded his Vaunted right fist flush on Lee’s jaw time and again but the Utahn to wipe out the desperately-seekin- g knockout at stigma of a thre-ra- d his rival’s hands in a bout in Boise Idaho took everything Ernie could offer and bored In crossing his right to Ernie’s face on innumer able occasions but only once in the second round could Lee put bis husky foe on the floor A right flush on Ernie’s chin sent him to the canvas for a three count in this heat Only Knockdown Despite the fight had only one knockdown the only mystery at tached to the whole pffalr was the fact that neither visited the canvas on frequent occasions The third round was the best single heat for barroom brawl tactics ever seen at the local punch yard Neither took a backward step Each disdained defense as they rained punches at each other with the speed of a machine gun Lefts and rights found their mark with each boy refusing to give ground despite each taking a bashing that would have floored most of the heavyweights seen here 'At the" beginning of ' the fifth heat the fans were imploring for one or the other to land a Sunday punch But they failed to take Into consideration that each had landed his Sunday sock on a whole basis throughout the first four heats without turning the trick In the sixth Lee buckled Ernie’s knees with a stiff right to the jaw and a left hook to the midsection but the Reno warrior came out with flying colors as he bashed Lee’s face to a crimson mask late in the heat with a series of right hand jolts to the mouth— socks which had fans on their seats bellering for a knockout Throughout the last four rounds they continued their slam bang tac tics The bout would have been a lulu in ally arena in the country One of the two judges voted in favor of Robertson the other cast his lot for Collins and Referee A1 Ablett scored the bout a draw—which was showing good judgment It would have been highway robbery to take the fight from either boy Ernie's smalder brother Frankie made his debut here and found a spot in local fans’ hearts -- as - he went through a torrid scrap with Johnny Candia rugged little Garland Mexican These lads put on a bout which was a miniature edition of the main event Candia fought the best fight he has ever engaged in around these parts and his stirring rally in the fifth round gained him an even break with the bronze skinned lad from Reno Frankie and Johnny might be the name of a song which has been famous for a good many years but Monday'night it was just a scrap between two tough rough and dead game kids Torrid Contest The Candia-Collin- s bout would have been a wow of a headliner on most ring cards but it was forced to take a back seat to the main event Monday Other results: Ivan Bland 161 Salt Lake City decisioned Billy Pryor 161 Pueblo ad Sees It By J C Derkt Major league baseball seasons appear to have the habits of footpads They make a practice of sneaking up behind the American publleand breaking out In front when scarcely anybody Is giving them a thought And this year Is no exception to the rule Although we have read the announcement of opening days and know that1 they are fixed for next Monday and Tuesday yet we experience out customary start of surprise that another major league season is less thaifa week off The 18 clubs which have been going through the throea of train- ing In southern climes are headed northward The current week will witness the end of the exhibition period and almost before anyone realizes it two more pennant races will be In progress SPECULATION RIFE The annual speculation as to the prospects of the varl-ou- S teams of course engrosses the fan He has kept an eye closely fixed upon reports of training camp occurences and upon the results of exhibition games We have never “been converted to the belief that exhibition garnet otter a sound basis tor judgment and certainly we find nothing in the record of the series now drawing to a close to alter our opinion that aa a foundation for gauging actual strength or weakness study of exhibition games is a waste of time Nearly every fan In our broad land has a method of his own for judging the capacity of rival teams Generally one guess is as good as another This is proved by the frequency with which the --predictions of expert observers are overturned Then there is another group of students who make a careful analysis of all possibilities attending major league possibilities This is composed of men who write betting books For them it is a cold business proposition They are not swayed one inch by sentiment They pit their calculated judgment against the opinions of the public and they hope to make a profit from doing so But quite often they too miss the mark- - Nevertheless the prices they quote for or against the different clubs serve to form a basis of estimation The best known of this group perhaps is John Doyle who has been making books on baseball for Doyle’s latest nearly 60 years quotations published as one may say on the eve of the season’s openers are interesting if for no other reason than that they afford the public the opportunity of obtaining the convictions of one who certainly has had long enough experience in the business Here are Doyle's latest figures NATIONAL

on top Of the percentage table next fall But he apparently is not so sure about them since he offers a mere 3 to 5 on their chances with 2 to 1 on the Cubs The Cardinals he quotes at 8 to 1 As is the usual custom the American leaguers break into the play- ing season with a game at Washington one day preceding the real opening of the race The Washington game is arranged especially for the benefit of the president of the United States in this case Mr Roosevelt Mr Roosevelt has had ' a good bit of experience at tossing the first ball and experts believe that he has by this time mastered the intricacies of the job to the extent where he can put over a fast" one with a sharp hop Philadelphia will be Washington's opponent I A 220-yar- 220-yar- George Pete De Riizzo Holds Pacho to Draw '

lowest level in history Unscrupulous matchmakers unfair referees and plain “dives” had made boxing a sport frowned on by sportsmen Since 1930 however I believe that the game one of the grandest of
