- It was a great fight:
And a fight which kept the fans
shouting throughout.
Wesley Hohbs of Seattle waa
on the- receiving end of most
everything la his slagging match
with Walter Cleghorn of Seattle,
lm the local armory last night,
which resulted In a referee's de
cision for the Eskimo Indian. It
was a real battle from start to fin
ish, the crowd being on edge dur
ing the entre fight. The battling
Indian, though considerably
shorter than the Portland fighter.
. got the jump on Hobbs at the
start' and chased, his" opponent
around the ring In every round.
The first round went to Cleg
horn, the third to Hobbs. In the
second It. looked as though Hohbs
was beginning to open , np and
take the Eskimo for a real fight,
although the Indian -did not weak
en and the round was even. The
. fourth started and Hobbs came to
. the .front again, using his left to
- good advantage, and It looked as
t96gh .the flght was turning for
thefPortland boy. The fourth was
even. Cleghorn was rut above the
left-eye in this round.
The fifth opened and the Indian
came back stronger than ever, a
determined, look on bis face,
watching Hobb's left at all times
and waiting for every opening to
land a hard blow. He found many
and gave the Portlander sereral
blows "that hurt the battling
;V blende. Hobbs received many
had. rights and lefts to the head
fgyld tody. while the Indian was
rnatlnually dodging bis furious

lef ta The fifth went to Cleghorn.
The next round opened, and
Hobbs rushed from his corner on
ly to take a good sock to the jaw.
They clinched several times, with
the Eskimo continually landing
shorts to the Portland boy's head,
fighting from start to finish. Dur
ing this round Hobbs began to
show sigr of weakening and
groggy, with the Eskimo landing
sereral good ones and still dodg
ing the famous left hooks. Hobbs
did find a few openings to land
his left hook, but the Indian took
them , as though they were meant
for 'him. Cleghorn 'a round.
The seventh finds Hobbs rush
tag In again, and they clinch, with
the -Indian shooting short rights
and lefts to his opponent's head,
in rapid succession, making him
snort at erery blow. Hobbs land-

ed a left to the Indian's body
which stung a bit. but the Seattle
tighter came back with sereral
good blows. Hobbs also landed a
few good uppereuts to the In
dian's jaw which didn't do him
any good and the round went to
Cleghorn.
The next round, the eighth,
looked like the finishing round of
the fight. Hobbs again as In the
other rounds, rushed from his
corner and they clinched again.
They came out and Cleghorn was
blessed with another cut over bis
left eye which spurted blood over
his face and smeared it all over
the Portlander' body.
Hobbs received a beautiful left
to the head which made him see
stars up in the hearens In spite of
the rain. Hobbs returned with a
lift to the Indian's body, alow
that could be heard all orer the
armory. He again planted a left
hook on the Eskimo's head, but
the little fellow never showed any
Igna of weakening and smashed
the big boy with n right hook to
the Jaw -which put him on the mat
for nine counts.
Hobbs. got up. but was groggy
and continually hanging on, get
ting into clinches with the Indian
still handing out his short jabs to
the head and body as in erery
clinch before. Again the round
went to Cleghorn.
The ninth round was a furious
battle,, the Indian looking for any
rtnnrrinr to let loose a blow to
score a knock out. but Hobbs man
ared to keen clear. Hobbs let
loose with a powerful left to the
Indians' head, hitting him square
under the jaw, lifting him off his
feet sereral Inches, but the game
little tighter came back as strong
as ever, slashing rights and lefts
at will. By this time Hobbs appear
ed to be tired and groggy, hang
lng on considerably. Again the Se
attle fighter smacked the Port-
lander with a terrific right to the
jaw which put him down for
count of one, and the round ends
in faror of the Eskimo.
The last round had the entire
crowd on edge, Hobbs again rush
lng out of his corner only to be
received by a nice blow to the
head. The Indian was determined
to score a kayo in. this round, but
the Portland fighter kept himself
pretty well on the lookout for the
stinging rights he had so often re
celred in the former round. He
did receive a terrible punishment.
with the Indian still showing no
sign of weakness or groggyness,
fighting as clever and accurate as
in the first round. Hobbs did man
age to find an opening in the last
round to land a hard left to the
Indians jaw. but he took it as
farce, and the tenth round went
to Cleghorn.
So here we hare tho first two
going to Cleghorn, the third to
Hobba, the- fourth even and the
rest to Cleghorn by far.
Erery fight fan present declar
ed that this was the best fight he
had erer witnessed In this city.
and Matchmaker Plant received
many congratulations for the pro
motion of such a battle. The crowd
went home well pleased and re
ceiving their money's worth.
Now as to the;, preliminaries. In
