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.
. Oraham and Ted Montgomery,
in one of the preliminaries, had
Rverv thins but. sneed the bout
ending for Graham. "Dubs" Mul-
key and Graves gave an exhibition
of three rounds duration.

We will guarantee to take your entire crop or half your crop or any
portion of it ; but
We Must Know About How Many Tons to Expect
u-i
These cherries will be shipped in barrels and the barrels must be shipped
in to Salem. If we know approximately how many tons to expect we figure
how many barrels to ship in but it would be folly to ship barrels in and find
it necessary to ship half of them back empty.
If you estimate your crop at 25 tons and it runs 20fo to 50 more we
will arrange (and guarantee) to take the entire crop. 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. Or we will pay every twenty-four hours just as you like.
In addition to the highest market price we will pay you a hauling charge
of five dollars per ton, if within a radius of 8 to 12 miles, if same have to be
hauled from such distant point.
We think this is a fair proposition and can see no way for the grower to
lose.
All we want is a low estimate of your crop.
