OF ELKS LODGE
I
The initiation and celebration of
the Medford lodge of Elks yesterday
afternoon and last night will go down
In local history as one of the biggest,
most elaborate and probably the
most enjoyablo event In the lodge's
career. It was a mixture of fun,
solemnity and entertainment, with
many Elks from yarlous parts of the
state participating In Ihe features
after the parade in which were only
local Elks. The Grants Pass mem
bers of the Medford lodge were here
In. force and Ashland lodge was
largely represented.
i The. day's program began with the
parade, which was followed toy the
initiation, then the banquet, and
closed with the athletic entertain
ment at the Page theater. '
The parade started from the Elks
club house at S p. m., and was much
enjoyed by the general public who
were surprised fet the large member
ship of the lodge which, with the
class of 125 initiated last nighty now
has 800 members. There were about
500 members In the parade which
was led by Sam Richardson, mounted
on fine steed, as grand marshal,
followed 4y the city toand. Neict
came the class of 125 initiates, pris
oners .until after Initiation ceremo
nies, wearing wooden stocks and
chained together. They were other
k wise properly guarded. - In their
mtdat was the lodge goat in a cage
mounted on an auto truck .who was
fanned-by one of the initiates. There
were-several other humorous fea
tures in the parade. V.
. Next, came the Elks of. ail ages
from the -baby ones up to the oldest
bucks, with the lodge service flag on
a float with a, banner calling atten
tion that the Medford lodge had von
the prite over all other Oregon-Elk"
lodges for having the most men In
; service during the war in proportion
' to membership. . The Elks'' large
flag was also carried in the parade.
- Next came a squad of lady. Elks
. mounted on horses followed by thir-
I ty beautiful flower and Elks, colors
decorated autos filled . with Lady
Elks.. ..' .. .'. .
. The parade over, after a short rest
the Initiation ceremony was observed
in the Elks temple, the large class of
125. ibelng. all Initiated at one time.
All levity, had ceased beginning with'
this event and the beautiful and im
pressive 'Initiation rites of the Elks
. order "never appeared to better ad
vantage,, each chair and appointive
officer doing his part perfectly.
- The elaborate banquet was served
. in. the basement of the club house at
8 p. m... It was some feed to remem
ber and was interspersed with much
fan. and musical features. In fact
after the Initiation there were musi
cal features and singing at all times.
The (banquet was notable and was a
model' in the respect that not one
speech was made. In fact the only
formal speech of the day was made
late' at night at the Page during the
athletic entertainment and- that was
by the eloquent Prof. Irving Vlnlng
of the Ashland lodge.
i A social time followed the banquet
until about 11 p. m. when the Elks
marched to the Page. The entertain
ment there was stopped long enough
' for the arranging of many Elks to bo
out and actively work in. the Salva
tion -army drive which begins Hon
' "day, ... .
The' athletic entertainment which
began at the Page theater at 11:30
, p. to. and lasted until 2:30 a. m., fur.
Dished good amusement Two of the
. several, boxing bouts were especially
interesting, and interspersed between
bouts the. fine illustration of the
different -wrestling holds and Jul
jitsu throws Iby Prof. A. A. Garlock
of the Garlock physical school of in'
Bt ruction and who has trained some
of the well known, wrestlers was
much appreciated. Roy Young pt
. this city, refereed all the bouts but
one,, and that one was refereed by
Joe Gorman of Portland, the well
known welterweight boxer of the Pa
cific coast.
. Probably the most interesting bout
"was the last one, which was arranged
at the last minute between Jesse In
graham,. the Central Point man, who
won popularity with Medford fans
whom be boxed several times in the
. past, and Bert Taylor of Portland
. who had appeared in a bout earlier
in the entertainment with Kid Rocco,
for a purse of 150, raised by the aud-
' lence. ; This bout was a draw and
. Ingraham and Taylor split the purse.
. Thei'inlerest was due chiefly to the
1 rooting ot the Elks for the Central
Pol tit lad. ': - ' " -'
-.: The men fought in the 135 pound
v class in a four round contest.. Gen
eral opinion was that it was a draw
and would have been even bad the
boys gone a longer .route, while some
few thought that Ingraham would
easily have been the victor had the
bouf been two rounds longer. At
' times' the two mixed It up lively but
there was frequent clinching. The
fact that .Taylor had boxed six hard
rounds earlier was offset by the fact
that Ingraham had worked in the
hay field all day and had been awak-
ened nd, rushed to Medford when the
,; (bout was proposed.
"The last bout of the night was the
Bix three-minute round one between
Abie Gordon of Portland and George
Franklin of San FrancUco, who
fought at 110 pounds, Gordon who
had fought in fifty contests and has
never been knocked out, plainly had
(lie best of I ho conlost and was by
far the hotter boxer, altho the lighter
man, . Franklin's crouching attltudo
with bond down end round house
swings mixed with straight 'boxing
puxr.led Gordon the first two rounds
t it In the third he solved Franklin's
method fighting. The boys wero
mixing it up lively whon the bell
rang.
. The scheduled six-round throo
mlnute bout at IRS pounds between
Billy George of Bond and Otto Esslg
of Portland proved rather exciting
and came close to ' a knockout.
George was the winner. This bout
was stopped tn the third round by
the referee when George was pound
ing Essig at will and the latter was
growing very groggy. It was George's
tight from start to finish, and at the
close of the second round Essig was
groggy. George who is the middle
weight champion ot the const, having
never been defeated by any man in
that class, but who has been con
querod In the ring by heavyweights,
stated last night that he would like
to" come to Medford to meet any man
In his class.
The other bout, the six-round
three-minute contest at 130 pounds,
between Bert Taylor and Kid Rocco
was rather tame with many clinches,
but in the final round the boys woke
up and mixed it lively at tho finish
with Rocco having a little the best
of it.
