True, the bands still played, but the dance of the revelers feet was heavy. Perhaps the merry tunes dimmed the sparkle in many a girls eye, and brought a rush of memories of a soldier at the front. Yes, the Prater struggled bravely, but the old spirit, the spirit of carnival was gone. Travelers who had known the place in pre-wdays, returning, found a note of sadness, an indefinable loss.

Shannon has fought several of the best men in the west, and while he has tasted the bitter fruit of defeat, he has, nevertheless, established a record as a scrapper that makes other sluggers hesitate before signing up for a match with him. These two lightweights are almost certain to give the Provo fight fans a thrill or two in their initial appearance in Provo. Shannon has fought draw with the great a fifteen-roun- d Kilbane. Kelley has fought Johnny draws with ' Herman Auerbach and Kid Davis. The matter of who they have defeated and been defeated by matters little, as the men themselves have never met before, and are eager to cut another notch in the stick that records their successes. For the semifinal, Red Belcher, local luminary, and Wally Wallace of Fort Douglas have been matched. Both are shifty sluggers that have put more than one incautious opponent into a deep sleep, and will weigh in at around 145 pounds. Belcher is well known to Provo fight enthusiasts, as he appeared in several bouts last year. Wallace is more or but less of an unknown fighter, comes with a good reputation. Young Osborne of Fort Douglas and Red Hicks of Ironton will tangle in one of the preliminary matches. The fourth match arranged is between Johnnie Smith of Salt Lake and Jimmie Douglass of the same city. All four of the boys who will appear in the preliminaries are clever with their mitts, and are said to be fast on their feet. Kid Davis, who is no slouch himself with his mitts, will referee the bouts, and he will see thathe every work boxer puts his heart into before him.
