Christiansen, matched against Jack Pace of Torrey, staged a real bout in a 5-round contest, and won the decision over his opponent.

The battle between the two men was one of the best features fea-tures of the boxing matches. Lloyd Olsen, fleet on his legs and capable of smashing through heavy barricades, won a splendid victory over Max Sly of Richfield. The two lads were pretty evenly matched, with Olsen slightly the aggressor. The fight was set for four rounds but Sly's seconds, at the opening of the fourth, tossed the towel into the ring, thus giving the battle to Olsen on a technical k. o. St:ff punches over the heart and head slams by Olsen weakened weak-ened Sly and he surrendered. Reed Bardsley, Centerfield's favorite favor-ite bantam, and who has acquired the title of "Kayo" Bardsley, won the most decisive decision given during the contest. Reed was pitted against Dick Ogden of Richfield for a four-round four-round bout, and he battled a handicap for the reason that Ogden was much t the larger. Taking advantage of an f openmg in the 3rd round, however, Bardsley shot a st'ff short-arm jab to the chin of Ogden, and the latter went to the mat for the count of ten.
