' BOXIill LTMAX TAKES OX TWO AT IXFOR MAL BOUTS. ,; . Hess Issues Challenge to Xortbwest Welterweights Bouts Clcua. Twenty minutes of fast p milling were -reeled off last night to a half hundred boxing fans when Bob Ly man, a bantamweight, took on Ben Jenkins for three rounds and follow led that up with mixing with a Penn sylvania lad named Hess who comes in the welterweight class, at a very informal gathering at the Eagles' hall. From all points of view the little mills were entertaining. Lyman, who fights at 115 and Who held ths north west champI6nship at that figure for three years, was pitted against much heavier men and both of his adver saries were well posted In the game. The first oppononet to face Lyman was Ben Jenkins, who tops the beam at about 158 and In that set-to brand ed himself as a wleldr of his' padded, talons of no mean ability. Hi3 jabs hard and his punches had oceans of steam, though his footwork was not as polished as that of either Hess or Lyman. The young bantamweight Is a pretty worker. He doesn't - adopt tactics that pave the way for knock? out punches but for a lad who can spar and move bis legs fcehas It on a whole lot of "Isers'and Vasers" of the northwest." . :" I OpKnents'Xt In Condition.'
