Fighting to a draw In the 10 round main event of company F einoker last night "Battling" Sy- v'ereon of Salem and "Frankie" Krites of Newberg, put up a lusty struggle from the instance the gong rang in the first round. Fans were not disappointed in ithar man. but expressed some tisfaction when Jack Ober An-t .niled a draw. Krites is a much more experienced fighter, and left no one in doubt,, as to who took the worst beating, but, thnueh cautioned by Oberdorf several times, he did not make clean breaks, consequently the de. cision. Syverson forced the fight in ev .r roii ml. but still has to learn that he must keep his glove closed, and spare himself. Krites took everv advantage to hit, swinging at his opponent with follow-ups that proved rather disasterous to the Salem boy's wind. While both men fought hard enough, each had strength to hold up their hands at the end of the tenth round. The semi-main event between Phil Bayes of Salem and Morris of Newberg. ended in the third round when Morris' seconds threw his towel In the ring. Bayes showed wonderful aggressiveness last night and his form has improved wonderfully since the beginning of the season. .

We will pay the highest market price at the opening of the Royal Anne season and you get your money at the time you deliver your load whether its 25 pounds or a ton.
