BOXINGMATCH
DISAPPOINTED
LARGE CROWD
"Lovers, Not Fighters" ' h
Verdict iiendered Iy One
Kntlmsiastif Fan 'As lie
AVatched .Main JJont.
Disappointment was in evidence last
evening when tho main bout in the
boxing csrd at tho Star theatre, be
tween Buc'dy Stevens of Pendleton
and Kid Sarp of La Grande, pro
greased two rounds.
Instead of tho. expected pep from
these two fighters the boys were eith
er poorly matched or they failed to
make a fight of it. The latter could
hardly bo charged for it was plain
that Stevens sought flio defensive and
with his quick actions was able to
dodge the sturdy blows Sarp delivered
as best he could. Sarp is not an ag
gressive fighter for his long suit is
on the defensive, also, thus there were
two who continually clinched, taking
short jabs at each other until Keferce
Itunyan ordered them to break.
Not a single round can it be Kaid
was in favor of one more than Ihe
other. After the second it looked as
though Sarp might land on:, and it
was plain that Stevens could not have
knocked out his opponent had he land
ed. Sarp snwed the air and tried to
Put one home but Stevens was quick
as the wind and ducked every strong
one, and the result was a clinch. The
audience soon grew tired of the bout
and all over the house there were cries
to "stand up and fight," but ouch
round was a repetition of the clinching
and hugging.
"They are lovers, not fighters," re
marked one fellow with a voice suited
to broadcasting, but this charge was
not correct, for the fight was clean
and in a way it was earnest, but ncv
crtheless thoroughly disappointing
In the preliminaries thc'audicncu
found much more sport than in the
main bout.
Two boys by the name of Clapp and
Butler mixed it for three rounds with
plenty of hot work. The Butler boy
seemed -to have a shade the best of it
in the third, although both boys were
tired and short of wind.
The second preliminary,- between
Nick Carter and Ono-round HoginJ
proved to be a merry-go-round affair,
llogan, true to his name, got the count
in the first round, when a lick from
Carter twirled him around like a pin
wheel and he fell to the floor willing
to lay the allotted time.
The semi-final was between Tiffany
and Ford, two husky boys who arc
jcach showing skill with the niltU. The
lirst two rounds were spent in 'HT
ing and feeling out the ground, but
in the third they got busy nml a fuw
handsome licks were rained on either
head. In the fourth Ford must huvc
gotten off wrong for his fighting was
not very clean. Tiffany mado the
best showing in fust font work and
landed as many blows as did his op
ponent. Ad Gustavo, wiio tefereed the
! preliminaries called the six two-minute
) round bout a draw between the two.
