BILL Y NELSON, THE SPO
KANE FEATHER, WHO
MEETS JOE BENJAMIN
BILLY NELSON.
Billy Nelson, the Spokane featherweight, who meets Joe Benjamin at the
Moose hall smoker Monday night, comes to the Capital City well recommended
as a clever boxer and the top liner o'f Bernie Goldberg's card is expected to
prove a clussy bout. The boys will go eight rounds at 122 pounds. Both Nelson
and Benjamin boxed last night at the amoker held under the auspices of the
Kose City Athletic club in Portland last night.
Seattle, Wash., April 29 Seattle
boxers won four Far Western titles,
Sau Francisco three and Portland one,
at the finals at the championship meet
held here last night.
The battlo put up by Willie Hughes,
California 123 pounder, and Karl liaird,
local lad, was worth going miles to see.
Jt was a real scrap from the first dingle
of the bell until the l'innl echo of the
jangle had died away. After three
rounds of the prettiest mixing seen in
Seattle ring for many moons, the
judges couldn't see anything to choose
between the boys. The disagreement
resulted in a fourth round. At the eud
of this session the judges again failed
in a decision. "Biddy" Bishop, well
known for his ability as a referee then
balked and refused to declare for one
or the other of the boys. It was final
ty settled by "Biddy" flipping a coin,
llughes won.
"Fat" L 'Ileure.tux had an easy time
retaining his title. He fought Bill
Pierce of Seattle and never was forced
to extend himself.
The list of champions follows:
10& ipound Icjass Willie Coulstiug,
Olympic club.
115 pounds R. Fnderwood. Multno

Loveland, State of Hliss, April 29..
This is the) first, day for a long time
that I haven't been dcatened by the
ro.ir of those European battles. I've
been plnnnimr for months to get, enough
organs booming wedding marches to
drown the cannon; and today they're
doing it.
1 sort of concentrated on today; and
I think I shot up about 20,000 gross
of quivers on it. L didn't score that
many hearts for today, but you must
understand that with the cost of liv
ing so high, the average heart has
grown very flinty.
I think I did pretty well, though,
considering.
Miss Elliott, Miss du Pont, Miss
Wood, Miss Walling and Miss Baker
are the day's choicest trophies, though
there are mr.ny others quite as charm
ing and sweet, if not so well known,
of course. '
Now about the wedding todry:
Perhaps tho most romantic of them
Is the Wn.lling-Sirt wedding. These
two children of tho navy met just 1
vear ago today at a dinner given by
Lioiit.-Cul., Lawrence H. Moses, at the
navy yard.
As a good officer should, Lieut. Spore
decided r.t once what, to do, and did it.
He is just now back from a cruise in
southern w ters on the Arkansas.
Miss Waiting's attendants will be
Miss J'lora M. Spore, juster of Lieut
Spore and Miss Bernice Walling, only
sister of .Miss Wnlling.
The best man will be Ensign John
L. Valdeti, I". S. N., and the nchers
will be Lieutenant Charles J. Moore
li. S. N., ami Ensign Francis M. Mail,
Jr., John F. Moloney, Donald F. Wash
burn, Albert H. Stephen and Swift
Riche, all of the Arkansas. Also As
sistant Surgeon Chalmer 11. Weaver,
II. S. N., and Lieutenant Cavah iuiti of
the Brazilian navy.
The marriage of Miss Edith January
Elliott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Elliott, of Boston, to Edmund
Pendleton Rogers of New York is of
much interest in bcth cast and west,
as the Elliotts moved east not many
years ago. The wedding will be cele
brated in Emanuel church, Boston.
Mrs. Rogers's sister, Mrs. J. (!ris
wold Webb, will be one of Miss El
liott's attendants. These will include
her cousin, Miss Josephine January, of
St. Louis; Miss Mary Stiles, of Provi
dence, nnd three Boston girls. Miss
Ellen W. Rollins, Mifs Elizabeth M.
Payne and Miss Frsncis I... Prescott.
Her sister, Miss Janet Elliott, will be
liter maid of honor, nnd Herman L.
'Rogers will be his brother's best man.
