While the law technic nlly requires a draw or no decisions, the La Grander had the best of the wcrimmage and would have woa a lear-cut decision if one had been jriv-' n. The main bout of the Moosa lo.o .smoker was booked for 10 cantos but the last two chapters were unfinished. 'The Butte scrapper, who is live pounds lighter than Berger, reached the zenith of his showing in the tni.d when he had Berger bewildered by a storm of raining- blows but immedi ately thereafter he slipped gradually. In the sixth the bell rang while Mc tCarroll was staggering from blow; on the stomach and neck but he camo iback with a pretty (lash of speel in the seventh, only to disclose that the spurt was largely established on I ull dog grit, for he went , under cover jjptm after the offensive began, and in ' the eighth the session ended.

Berger, except for the third round and portions of the fourth and fifth, carried the fight to the other man and with much vigor. Only the '.third might be conceded to the visitor. As an exhibition of boxing science, there was little to note, but it can't be said that cither boxer stalled. The two went as it fvom the first sound of the gong and kept at it as long as their stamina permitted. They tried their best to please the audience by .: w i. ,.., "..w.l jmrt.' Many boxing fans prefer f mtv i Vic Berger, Principal in Last Night's Bout. lighter performers, but be that as it may, the scrappers last night fought witih enough vim to satisfy the most exacting and they fought clean; the whole performance was one that could in no wise embarrass the sprinkling of Indies present. Preliminary liout Good. One of the preliminaries was dis tinctively interesting. Fireman Dav ids of this city made his debut as -i boxer. Neither he nor his friends have anything to be ashamed of be cause he did.. True, he mixed with a scrapper whom many think couid worry Berger more than McCarroll did, but in spite of that the La .Grande fireman displayed natural instincts as: a boxer, and was game to the core.' Davies has boxed informally but nev er in public. Purslow, his adversarj'i is a tried and schooled performer, and of course, was the better man of the two, but those who recognize ability when they see it, discovered in (Ue Jrer.ian. line natural talen. He has . 'quiicd many of the tricks of the trade already, has a vicious blow that comes quick ;i,i hard, has a cool head and above all a disposition to carry tna light ty his opponent.

LA GRANDE BOY FAKES WELL IN. THE SOUTH. Salt Lake and Pocatello Papers Speak I Highly of His Talent. j A. W. (Waldo) Geddes is pitching goc hull at Pocatello now. After a highly successful season with the Stall & Dean aggregation at Salt 1ike he has gone to Pocatello. With the former bunrf: he went exceedingly well and his team won the chamnion- ship of Utah, has an even break with Pocatello "for the Southern Idaho 'hon ors and in August will try for the Koclty Mountain championship at WOMAN RUNS SCHOOL FOR GIRL'COAGHES! Denver. Utah and Idaho papers of ten speak of the former La Grande lad. For instance here is a recent article in the -Salt Lake Herald-Republicans "The tight pitching of Geddes en abled the fast Stall & Dean aggrega tion to defeat the Utah Power & Light team of Ogdcn yesterday after noon by the close score of 6 to 5. The contest was a battle from the start to the finish, and only a few of the Og den fans took advantage of it. "Ogden started off well and made three runs before the Stall & Dean team could come across. However, the Salt Lake boys started in the fourth and added two runns on GumVs double and Sorenson's triple. "Three more were added in the sev enth and one in the eighth on hits toy Fitzgerald, Gunn and Sullivan. Thie Stall & Dean team proved too strong for the locals in bunching their hits and when they were once in the lead Geddes saved the game for them by pitching air tight ball. This makes the second time that the Stall & Dean classy team 'has defeated the Ogden boys and adds another victory to the long list that has already been run up. Then, when Waldo had transferred to Pocatello, the paper there remarks: "A. W. Geddes, of Salt Lake, has arrived in Pocatello and will make his home here in the future having ac cepted a position with the Short Line. Mr. Geddes will be remembered by many Pocatello people as th star pitcher for the Stall & Dean team, which played a series of ball" games with the Pocatello club at the time of the big "Fourth" celebration. It is expected that in the future Mr. Ged des will identify Wmself with the Po catello team and will he a strong ad dition to the local pitching staff. He is interested in athletics in a general way and stated that the Short Line is planning to .organize basketball teams this winter. "Jt is also expected a railroad foot ball series will be-arranged here this fall. As the employees of the iSbort Line in Salt Lake expect to have teams there will bo an opportunity for the men to get out-of-town games, as well as meeting local teams."

She managed a boys' playground team that copped 72 games, lostns. onlr one. a 14-lnnin .,iu ' Light Six Cylinder Car. "The most recent figures of auto mobile production constitute hard and fast evidence of the trend of automo bile purchasers toward the light six cylinder car," says C. A. McCrary, distributor for Haynes "Light Six." "Four years ago only 24.0G6 six cylinder automobiles were built an nually, but this year's nrtd season sta tistics indicate that the present an nual production will nmount to more than 3!i0,000 cars. This means , that the demand for six cylinder automo biles has multiplied fourteenfo'd ki:ice 1912. - "At thevtime when only a small number of six cylinder cars was ne ii manufactured, it was generally recognized that the six cylinder motor was a more flexible source of pnver than the four, but the Wending of power with economy in the light six automobile has been the chief influ ence that has radically altered the purchaser's mind in regard to the number of cylinders that he should buy. ' Along with the increase in motor car production, the demand for four cylinder cars has quadrupled. Due to the fact that the low priced four cylinder cars are within financial reach of a large body of purchasers, the four has had a large sale. "The 'Light Six' cars bid fair to be como a universal type of automobile. I'he small bore motors with light re ciprocating parts arc economical both in the use of fuel and lubricants. Their range of speed and power an; will beyond the demands that ordi nary road service places on an au tomobile. ' The multiple cylinder motor, whose inroads it most needs to fear, follows; the same gcnernl principle 'bf small bore, light weight construction, and the dominating factor in the choice between the two types of automobiles! U the amount of reserve power that1 the buyer desires in his car." i Walter Johnson, Jr. One of these days baseball may see a Welter Johnson, II., in flesh ar.d in fact. That is, providing Wal ter .Johnson, Jr., follow" the calling that made his dr.d monarch of all he surveyed. Right now Walter, Jr., is undecided as to his career. He has just turned the age of two, celebrating the event. July 1, by donning a regulation "mon key suit, as the ballplayers affec tionately refer to their uniforms. .

Pnrse, $10011, etc." Twenty thousand persons at San Diego's big exposition were thrilled to the spine recently when Jack Little, Moving Picture 'stunt' Dilot. took a Maxwell tourin? car and leaped the gap time after time to nrovide th- greatest spectacle most of those pres ent hnd pvpr nninvoH Tlin ,..nwl lnnn of the day was forty-four feet, and wnen Doin oaring driver and sturdy Car rpnrhpd thp (rrnnnil tknA fr.ll.is1 rtn their way without a halt Little re ceived a cheer that echoed clear to the Mexican boundary. The "leap the gap" stunt was in- uuguraiea oy vnaries Irwin, manager for the Lord Motor Car company, 'which handles the Maxwell line in Sa'n Diego. The Exposition officials had approached Irwin to get his ideas on a real motor car thriller for a big holiday bill. "Why not get Jack Little down here from Santa Barbara and let him duplicate that moving picture leap across a chasm," asked Irwin, but at first he was 'turned down' by the con servative San Diegoans. It was too daring, they said; a machine might stand the strain once or twice, but to repeat it three time in one day not a chance. t
