MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1908. 4 VALE KEli GET GANDY I BOSS! HELPEO EVER , BAY GE k ll Fourteen Rounds With Good Preliminaries Pleased Big Crowd at Boxing Contest Charlie Ross knocked out Gus Ford In the fourteenth round, V. C. Parsons of British ColUmbitr-got the decision over Gene Chambers of Roseburug In the eight round and Charles Deweese of Llbby and Will Hazel of North Bend fought four rounds to a draw. The above was the result of the boxing carnlyal Christmas afternoon at the skating rink. About 400 men were In attend ance and they got the worth of their money for there was some good sport. The big match was for 20 xounds but a knockout closed It in the fourteenth. The preliminaries pulled off by the young men, were both good and were enjoj-ed as much as the main event. The skating rink was provided with seats around the ring so that a big crowd could see and good order was maintained. The fight was got ten up and managed by John Herron and the event probably furnished more sport than any other boxing contest ever held on the bay and everybody seemed to be well satis fied. The first fight was the six round preliminary between W. C. Parsons and Gene Chambers. It was for six rounds and Arthur Burke Of North Bend acted as referee. The fighters went at it hard. Parsons was clever and was a little too much for Cham bers. In the fifth round when he had Chamber's head down he pounded his face pretty hard. This was the on ly blood drawn of consequence during the entire entertainment. Chambers stood up well, however, and at the end of the sixth round Referre Burke Bald that he could not decide the fight and the crowd was calling for ll draw. Someone suggested that two more rounds be fought and the spectators began to throw money In the ring to make up a purse for the extra rounds. This arrangement was carried out. In the seventh and eighth Parsons easily had the best of the other man and was given the decision. The next preliminary was between Charles Deweese, of Llbby, and Will Hazel, of North Bend. The rules were to break clean and a more live ly four rounds was never seen in a contest on Coos Bay. The spectators all said that the one match was worth the price of admission. Both boys were in fine trim and they fought every minute of the four rounds putting up a pretty exhibi tion. When the main fight was called thero were some offers of ?50 bets on Ross, but they were not taken up. It was the general opinion that Ross would win. Ford, however, stood up well and for a time it looked like he would get the be3t of the fight. Charles Howard was referee. Ar thur Burko, Will Shrock and H. J. Koehu wore Ross' seconds and Ben Schuyler, Jim Binder and Jim Falk ner were in Ford's corner. Before the fight began Jack McCormack an nounced that ho challenged the win ner. The referee asked that the spectators not cheer or mnko a noise until each round had closed and the crowd complied with the request. Tho blows delivered wore mostly on tho body. Once Ross drew blood on Ford but neither had his face hurt any. Thoro was a good deal of clinching for the first ten rounds. Ross begun from tho start getting In kidney blows on Ford and kept It up all the time and this doubtless hnd Its effect on Ford's stronght. By tho eleventh round Ford was easily the aggressor and was putting up a very hard fight and it looked 111:3 ho hod a good chance to win out as ho hnd the best of it In his share of tho previous rounds. Ho took Bomo severe punishment In tho blows ho received on tho body, but was de cidedly game and always camo'baek with a smiling fnco and hard hlt tlnj. In tho thirteenth round both mon seomed a little fagged but thev fought hard and It appeared that a round or two would sottlo It ono wo" or tho o'hor. In the fourteenth Rofs rushed Ford to his cornor and delivered several swift blows and Ford went down. Uo was fiat on his bnek nud annarnnMv out, but tot un on his feet before tho referee counted ten. In an Instant ho was down again. When (he roforoo countod oight Ford was on his hands and knees.

It is probably the fault of their delegates to the Oregon-Idaho Devel- fdends and not of themse,ves and opnient Congress at Vale. "The Oregon-Idaho Congress was a howling, shrieking success, espe cially from a Coos Bay standpoint. I. S. Smith did himself proud. He gave tnem uoos uay tacts ana ruuDea them in. The Idaho people want him to come over here and talk. The rea son I'm writing to you is to call at tention to the voluntary service rend ered the Bay by Judge Lowell. The Judge is popular ln eastern Oregon, and his popularity and official posi tion as presiding officer were freely exercised In behalf of Coos Bay. He not only changed the program to suit Coos Bay's convenience, but put up two good booster talks' himself for the Bay. It was one of the best de velopment meetings I've ever attend ed ln Oregon, and I believe its influ ence will be as far reaching. C. E. S. Wood, representing Paris' capitalists, who hald 800,000 acres through central Oregon, the largest alien owners in the state, took ff his hat to the congress and got rlg'-t Into the harness by giving his per- sonal assurance the big Freeh hold- lugs will do their part. Wood will be on the Bay after awhile and we may expect something sensational mere could not have been fixed a more opportune time to impress Coos maRe thelr Present, and assured the Bay on these people as they are wak- Blrls that lt the wa,t was to lonS Ing up to Irrigation and seeking an tne' could cal1 UP and announce that outiet. they were ready for the promise to "Cold as Greenland with snow pnjbe fulfilled. tne ground and sleigh bells jingling here. Met one man, a Mr. Ross, who will start for Coos Bay day after to morrow." Meeting Was Success. t I Concerning the meeting, a Boise peper says: "The Boise delegation at the Oregon-Idaho Development league which held Its last ses sion at Vale, returned home Satur- day night. The Boise men were very uuuiusuisut; over me, preiinunary ac complishments of the leaguer and pre- l met much goou will result. The fol- lowing were there from the capital city: R. M. Davidson; Joel L. Priest, industrial agent for Short Line; Wll liard White; L. L. Ormsby; R. S. Bettls; Scott Anderson; Charles An- derson; ; J. H. Roney, and Max May- fleld" "Speaking of the congress on his return, Max Mayfield said to the Statesman: "The meeting was characterized by able addresses on subjects of vital interest to southern Idaho and east ern Oregon." Colonel Hofer, editor of the Salem Dally Capital Journal, made a very strong address favoring the solicitation of state aid to finance the Boise, Central Oregon and Coos Bay railroad with an end in view of j holding a session at Salem after the Oregon legislature has convened, and one at Boise In February while the Idaho law-makers are assembled. The dates for the Boi3e gathering are February 23 and 24.
