Is Feature Event
Boxing and wrestling promoters
of the Pacific coast looking for first-
class material for their cards should
come to southern Oregon and pick
up some headliners. The baseball
club's smoker between Gold H ill
and Bogue River in the Odd Fellows
hall last Thursday evening uncover­
ed several good prospects.
The feature event of the evening
turned out to be between Al Smith
of Bogue River and Herb Lingren
of Gold H ill, in a three-round box­
ing bout. In what was supposed to
be a friendly bout of sparring, Lun­
gren and Smith started knocking
each other around the ring causing
fans to start yelling fo r more w ith
the result that the blows and noise
could nearly be heard on the Apple-
gate.
Smith started the fireworks by
popping Lingren right on the pro­
boscis and right then and there
things began to happen. Lingreir
tore into his opponent w ith left and
right hitting Smith like a trip ham­
mer but w ith Smith coming back
for more. H ow -ver at tins stage of
the game. Smith he<*a3 to lose his
temper, hitting Lingre 1 whether
standing or sitting. After several
warnings from the referee Smith in­
sisted on keeping up this attack and
I be bou* was stopped w ith Lingien
getting the decision.
Another surprise battle on the
card was unraveled when M errit
Davis gained a draw in a wrestling
match w ith Bud Shults, Rogue R iver
grappler that has had several years’
experience in the ring. Shults tossed
Davis for the first fall just after the
match started but Davis pinned Mr.
Shults a few mingtes later and had
the experienced wrestler looking to
his laurels when the bell rang.
Marvin Emory, Gold H ill wrestler,
threw George Pitman of Rogue R iv­
er in two straight falls in another
wrestling match that was fast and a
very clean bout.
The complete results of the nine
