LEGION SMOKER WAS PLAYED TO CROWD OF ENTHUSIASTS Hollemaa Boys Win Against Im ported Taleat Other Beat Interesting "The best smoker ever pulled off In Maupin" waa the universal opin ion of those of our people who at tended the fight card at Legion hall last Saturday night The hall was crowded to capacity and each bout waa cheered to the ceiling. The program opened with a bout between Ken. Snodgrass, who sub stituted for hie brother, Elton, who was laid up with boils, against Johnny Russ of Grass Valley. The boys mixed from the bell and at the end of four rounds the judges decid ed Ken was the better man and gave him the fight Cyril Fraley and Albert Hachler, the latter a husky lad from Wapin itia, were next up. In making an upper cut from the floor Cyril hit Albert too low and the vi itor was given the decision on a foul. The blow was low but was entirely unin tentional, for there is r squarer lad or straighter shoot' in athle tics than Cyril One of the most ..cresting bouts of the evening .u one which kept the fans on '' ir toes during the four round:-, was that between Doug Holloman of Maupin and Jack Bis set of Dufur. The latter has figur ed conspicuously in the ring herea bouts and is a fighter of n0 mean ability. In Doug, however, he met a lad who knows no fear, who has a punch and quickness surprising to him. Holloman kept the Dufur boy busy at all time-, landing the most and cleaner blows and at the end of the bout had Bisset's face looking like a piece of fresh bologna. One of the Judges said a draw, another Holloman and Referee Eads promply gave his vote to the local boy. Every body satisfied. - Frank Hachler, a husky youth from Wapinitia and Jack McDougall of The Dallei furnished the crowd with enjoyment in their four-round mix. Hachler was on his toes like f a dancer, and in that was closely : followed by The Dalles boy. Frank out-reached Mac but the latter show ed that his punch was the heaviest and that he was just as quick as Frank. The judges gave Mac the decision. The main event was a six-round bout between Floyd Holloman and "Chick" Kennedy, who took the place advertised for Harry McDonald of Moro. The latter saw Floyd knock Gorton out at The Dalles smoker recently and evidently con cluded he did not want any of tho Maupin boy's game. Kennedy came over from the county seat and took tho regular signed fighter's place. U. P. RAILWAY PAYS BIG SUM IN TAXES Wuto Count? Collect! 162,141.(0 Out of Total of $698,312,000i 14 Counties Benefit Second half payments of 1928 taxes in the ttate of Oregon became due November 6. One of the larg est tax payments waa made by the Union Pacific System, amounting to f 689,312.00. The Union Pacific's taxes were paid in fourteen counties as follows: Baker, 156,251.68; Deschutes, $2,052.30; Gilliam, $33,916.67; Har ney, $13,164.50; Hood River, $30, 637.04; Jeffersot.. $7,993.56; Mal heur, $26,602.18; Morrow, $48,711, 91; Multnomah, $161,385.96; Sher man, $39,101.66; Umatilla, $125, 270.68; Union, $75,330.71; Wallowa, $16,251.43; Warco, $62,141.80. Western Oregon Sheep Troubl The Salem Capital Journal thus forecasts the coming winter exper ience for sheep owneru in its terri tory. "Unless the unexpected comes in the shnpc of an open winter there threatens to be large losses in sheep this year, report some sheep men. For some time now heavy feedine ha-, been done with sheep because of the dry pastures and inability of the sheep to keep going on ' their own. It U expected there will be big demand for feed for this ' pur pose before winter is over." He is an experienced and clem fighter but soon learned that lie was up against a fighter that could take a punch and at the same time) give one, his being just a little quick- i er and harder than Chick's. In the i second round Floyd reached Ken-j nedy's mid-section with a couple of stiff punches. The e hurt and after receiving the second one quietly laid down and went to sleep. In all fair-1 ness it must be said that Kennedy was not in the best of condition, but j if he had been it would have been but a question of a short time when he would have received the sleeping potion. Holloman is too much for him at any time. The bell saved Kennedy from a ring knock-out, but his second, Vic. Eads, realizing his man was all in, threw in the towel as indicative of the giving up of hfe man. The crowd was made up of both men and women and all seemed to be keyed up to the highest pitch dur ing the progress of the fights. Viv. Eads, match-maker for The Dalles Legion, refereed the preliminaries and his work was most acceptable. Eads knows the fight game as well as the next one and his work in the j ring was all that could have been ex-' pected. Bates Shattuck was the' third man in the ring during the Holloman-Kcnnedy fight After the smoker the floor was cleared and a large crowd took ad- vantage of the opportunity for a so-: cial dance. I The manager of the smoker, Don ' Miller, is credited with having pull-! ed off the best smoker to be staged ; in Maupin. He encountered much! hard work in filling the card and! that he was able to line up such a; fistic talent as showed at hb smok-; er reflects brightly on his ability as: a fight manager. Fight Note Conspicuous in the ring during the Frank Hachler McDougall mix was the presence in the latter's cor ner of Marion Sexton, city editor of The Dalles Optimit and Jimmie Nel son, foreman in that print shop. With a little more practice Seek will make a fair towel waver, while Jimmie's advice to his principal went a long ways toward The Dalles lad winning the scrap. When Doug Holloman was told he was going against a 24-year-old pug he said he did not care if he was a hundred; he would fight him anyway. Cyril Frnley took hi.-, fouling of Albert Hachler very much to heart. It wag not his intention to violate ring rules and that his punch landed too low and badly hurt the Wapinitia lad, grieved the Maupin lad sorely. Both the Holloman boys, Floyd and Doug, will figure at the coining smoker at I be Dalies, bads was; much impressed with their ability and signed them up for bouts before he left Jor home. Maupin Legion will hold another smoker on December 14. At that time Floyd Holloman will fight "Knock-Out" Brown of Prineville, a pug of more than passing prominence.
