SCANDANJYIANS ARE HIKED MITCH I OUT LAD FROM F Slugging- starting from tho cur tain nnd ending when Kltchlc put Soldier Mnrplos down for tho count in tlio third round of tho big event slugging, mixed hither and yon with Hclonco and ittrategy, but main ly slugging, nevertheless, marked the boxing exhibition at the opera house last night. On the wholo It was a sorlcB of Interesting battles, "and barring nn unfortunate decision In tlio Huff-Wagner bout, should have pleated tho fans fully. Tho Hltchle-Murples bout was a content between boxers of nbllity nnd Illtchlo Is entitled to tho credit of having outgeneraled nn opponent who Ih no tyro in the ring. Tho Inter change of heavy wallops started from the gong. Shaded either way, tho' first round was the soldlor's and in tlio second round ho had a decid ed adMintagc but foiled to press It. In the third round, with both men under a strain, Illtchlo rallied nnd drovo MnrplcM to the comer, landing n Borlos of telling punches on IiIb fuj.0, terminating In n teirlfic blow that laid tlio soldier's Bkln onen nhoo tho oyobrow nnd brought him to tlio mat for tlio count IMtchlo'8 rully followed nn nnln tbntlonnf foul that apparently sapped bis strength entirely for a pocond, hut ho waved the referee asldo and tarried on to victory. .Substitute Ilofrrees. Tom Wnttors, usually tho third man in tho ring, lias been 111 arid the commission selected ltoss Nlckerson to decide the bouts, with a judge In each corner to assist. Dr. Leonard and Roy Tabor of Dorrls woro the judges. Tho majority decision was for Hilly Huff In the six round bout with Hob Wnpner of Portland nnd Tncoma, a most unpopular decision with the fans, who howled their dis approval. Tabor dUsentod from the opinion of tho others. Wagner prov ed In battle to bo a harder opponent than Huff has yet faced In tho local ring. Ho has a fast moving left, and he worked It overtlmo boforo tho local boy got noxt to It, Inflicting clean, tolling blows. Huff HurtH Hand Huff dlslocntod n knucklo on his right hnnd In tho first round nnd Injured tho bones In tho back of tho hand, placing him under a tremen dous disadvantage. Desplto the paltu ful hurt ho made n clover showing. In fact,i ho was forcod to roly on skilful boxing to sno himself from an ngressivo opponent, nnd ho did it well. In tho last round ho had Wag nor going when tho gong sounded, and this probably outwolghed other considerations In Influencing tho de cision. From tho rlngsldo, howovor, It did not appear that thoro was a distinct advantage on clthor sido to warrant tho decision, and tho fans certainly disapproved It. SportJiiR Illool Shout Wngnor should feel that Klamath Falls fantr aro a square set, for riot only did thoy pldo with him on tho docislon, but It was owing to tho sporting spirit ot the crowd thnt ho fought at all. A misunderstanding! nroso .ovor tlio price agreement and Wagner rofusad to fight. Tho bout hnd been definitely callod off when tho crowd dug up tho deficit alleged by tho Portland boxer, and gavo him a chance to dtaplny himself. At tho cjoso of tho bout Wagnrr chnllongod Huff for a return bout, ton rounds, which will bo staged as soon as Huff recovers tho use ot his hand. Tho .misunderstanding be tween Wagner and tho commission wns In a way responsible for the In jury, because Huff thought the matoh was off and entered the ring In n hurry without taping his hands. Good Preliminaries Carmen Domellla, prldo of tho 78th regiment, is a fighter of parts, a, heavy hitter, who delivers good, clean blows and plenty of them. His bout with Kid Harrington was a whirlwind from start to finish. The Chlloquln lad met tho soldier' light weight halfway in eagerness, to In terchange wallops, and each of the boxers woro mixed up in tho ropes sovoral times after a fiery attack N N WEST OREGON !
