DICK DILLARD WON FROM SING HOSAN Decision was Given Local Man in Sixth Round on a Foul Sing Hosan and Dick Dillard boxed a very pretty match last Saturday night at the local opera house. Not only was it pretty but clever, a contest where skill counted above all else.1 Both men were in the pirift of condition when they entered the ring though a strongly assorted pair, Dillard was tall and rangy, while the boxing china.manx.was short and compact. Until the fourth round neither man ' could have been said to have the slightest advantage, in the fifth Sing was warned sever? al times to be careful about foul ing, this round was Dillards In the sixth up tq the time? Sing fouled Dillard, the round was Sings but the decision was given to Dillard when Sing uninten tionally fouled him and doubled him up for a second or two how ever Dillard was on his feet and vva3 willing to continue in a short time but the referee gave him the decision on a foul. A Chinese boxer is a novelty and a fair, sized crdud was pres ent to witness the match. Sing proved to be a clever boxer and possessedof wonderful appitude for taking punishment, had the foul not occured, it is doubtful $o say just how the contest would have -gone as neither man was winded at this time, both seeming capable of going the full ten rounds. It was a clever con test, full of snap and action and was greatly enjoyed by those as sembled to witness it. The preliminary match be tween Ira Bradford and Fleming Goss was called off at the end of the second round on account of a cut over Gosse's eye which while being in no way a bad cut, 111 41 1. uiea projuseiy ana it was thought best to have no blood flowing in a match between local t mi .i Doys. inematcn was called a draw.
