DECISION
TLI Ml
Twonty rounds of fast and clovor
boxing pnd a knockout was tho sum
total of tho oxhlbition at Houston's
Opora House last night under tho
auspices of the municipal boxing com
mission. Thero were no slow mom
ents from the first top of the gong
until itcforeo wattora announced a.
decision for Billy Huff over Ooorgo
Fiddler of Portland, after the maid
event had gone the full ten rounds.
Tho fans got a full run for their
monoy.
White Huff tried earnestly enough
to land hit well-known right hay
maker on the Portlander In every
round of the contest, he failed to
connect. The Portland boy. blocked
cloverly. Huff got through his guard
with a fow'Hlff punches but Fiddler
assimilated them without serious ef
feet. In fact he showed decided capa
city for taking punishment, and al
though landlcappel In height and
reacn, mucn sonny in mulcting it
Huff had no cinclr on the fight at
any tlmo while it lasted and Is en
titled to all the credit coming to
Mm for winning from a hard-hitting
ring strategist,
Considerable adverse comment was
caused by Referee Wattors' decision,
some fans protesting that the referee
should have called the contest a
draw, but If he had done so he would
have dodged he Issue. Huff fought a
fastor fight, broke cleaner In the-
clinches and inflicted more punish
ment than he took at any stage of
tho battlo. Despite this, because of
Fiddlers' conceded ability and his
capacity for absorbing punishment
and coming back Berenely, the refer-
oa tinri n olnan florlotnn in tnnlrA TTa (a
deserving pi credit and.tho.supportof UNSJW b-een '"f ! 11

Tho evening! knockout took place
In tho Second preliminary 18 seconds
aftor the gong tapped, when young

and settled dowt In the sawdust tor

terchange of blows staggered Fon
vlllo badly and a quick rush and pow
erful right sv Ing ended tho matter In
a llttlo more than a qunrtor of a min

Tho curtain-raiser shared honors
with tho main event as a thriller. Tho
principals .wore Tuffy Wilson of Kla
math Falls and tho Chiloquln Boat
cat. Whon Matchmaker Knight
trapped tho bearcat in tho wilds of
tho Klamath reservation ho snared
a game little bantam and the othor
lad was a worthy match for him.
Thoy wont onrnestly to work to dis
play tholr knowledge of tho mnnly
art nnd for four rounds gloves show
prod all over' the ring. In tho third
round there was a regular tornado
of fisticuffs. If anything tho bearcat
had slightly tho best of tho match,
but no one could qulbbletover tho re
feree's decision In dividing tho hon
ors. The boalng game Is growing good
around these parts and if the boxing
commission backs up its referee in
such decisions as he gave last night,
there la no reason that it should not
grow better. Last night's exhibition
was staged before a packed house.
There was qu'to a sprinkling of lady
fansamong the seat-holders, a tew
holding ringside seats.
Attention that the local game (s
attracting among coast bqxers was
attested by challenges announced
last night. (Bobby Allen, local boxer,
challenged Toby Miller or Ouy Rob

possibilities for a match with Jlmmle

fighting In the east, challenged any

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. An
nouncement of the population of prac
tically all cities of tho country by
May or June and the total popula
tion of the entire country In Sep
tember or October Is the expectation
of the drector of the Census, Sam L.
Rogers. .
Population statistics of some of the
cities probably will be completed by
March or earlier. Washington, D. 6.,
Is expected to-be the first as It was
In the thirteenth census In 1910. In
tbatjj-ear It was taken April 16, and
announced June 24, Rhode' Island

The -center of population. Bloom
ington, Indiana, was announced July
17, and, the country's total popula
tion waa made public December 10.
J "Thp enumeration Is In progress
throughoutthe entire country," said
lr. Rogers, tody. '"Advices from
the supervisors Indicate that during
the first week of tho work at-least
70,000 enumerators were started.
"We find that In some districts It
will bo necessary to postpone the
enumeration because of weather con
dltlonsv There has been no opposition
toifurnlshjng the Information request
ed by tho enumerators.
"The supervisors report the com
pletion'' of the 'enumeration In many
districts, and as rapidly as the enum
erators turn In" their portfolios they
are being examined In the office of
the supervisor and are being put In
shape to come to Washington. The
signmenis can ue maue reauy. we
therefore naturally expect a large
amount of the work to reach the or
.' . 1-
flee in Washington during the latter
part of this month or the first of
February, but as a general rule the
enumeration will be completed thru
out the entire country by the first of
February. It .will be some time, how
ever, before it will bo-finished in the
districts where it has been postponed
on account of climatic conditions.
Wo aro now organizing a force of
clerks, who will bo equipped to exam
ine tho schedules as .rapidly as they
are received from tho supervisors.
These clerks will make a preliminary
count of tho population. This prelim
inary count will be made public as
rapidly aa tho totals for the cities
nnd the minor civil divisions are ob
tained. Tho population in the cities
will be announced first. Wo hope that
the total population of the country
will bo known in September or Oct
ober of this year, and the population
of tho cities should all be announced
by May or June."
