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

Oregon-Idaho Development
Congress at Last Session
Boosted for This Section.
Col Wm. Grlme3 has received the If the girls at the telephone ex
following self-explanatory letter change fall to answer calls as
from Walter Lyon, one of Coos Bay's ty as usual for a day or two
. 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

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

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.
"Tho members of the congress are
deeply Interested In securing a rail
road from Coos Bay to Vale and with
that end In view they have appointed
a committee to gather stasictics wiich
