BOXING PROGRAM IS OIS APPOINTING The boxing program held at Sunset Park last night wan void of thrill* and the small crowd which attended the event went away disappointed, because the principal In the main bout refused to "warm up." bloody noses or hit each other on the jaw, and the event was called off In the sixth round. Lester Boyd, of Richmond, and Indian "Kid" Marks, of Peru, tapped each other with powder puff smacks and sparred during much of the time, Boyd was the weaker man of the two and. in the fifth and sixth rounds, refused to take chances on getting pur. ' ished by the Indian Kid, ducked his I head and used the old style protection method of guarding his heed with his arms. He wanted to quit. The crowd wanted them to punch each other and boo hooed because they didn't. In the sixth round, Boyd went down on one knee and cried that his hand was injured. The bout was stopped before the gong sounded and a local physician was called to examine Boyd's hand. After an examination, the physician stated that the hand showed signs of a sprain, but that he could not tell if any bones were broken unless an Xray picture was taken. Boyd refused to continue the match and Gaylor Kilgore, the referee called the match off. Marks was the better man at the end of the bout. He was not aggressive, however, and in the fifth round showed the first signs of warming up. He delivered a few good punches to Boyd and if a decision were given, would be acclaimed the victor. Two Young Scrappers One of the preliminaries was between Jimmy Halberstadt, of Pleasant Mills, and Young Trigg, of Portland. They -ent four rounds and landed on each other’s nose with good "punches and blows from the right and left. They both drew blood and seemed to enjoy it. Halberstadt made the Portland boxer take the count of eight on three different occasions and was in much better shape at the end of’the fourth round than his opponent. The boy is a good scrapper and was not afraid to “bust in.” A Tame Affair The four rounds between Kid Bubp. of Portland, and Young Wyatt, of Fort Wayne, was a tame affair. The Kid had the better of it over his op-1 ponent in the way of reach and; height. He didn’t try to punish thej little fellow, who is trained to be a boxer. They played around with each! other and put up a good boxing exbition. Local Boys on Program Johnny Boy Hain and Dickey ' Sheets, two popular young boys of this city, put on the first preliminary, going four rounds, one minute each. The crowd liked them and cheered and each one of the little fellows used the gloves in fine style. They were friends during the event and each one seemed happy after it was over. The match between Paul Conrad, of Decatur, and “Smoke” Smith, of Portland, and the one between Young Gaskill, of Fort Wayne, and Battling Schunck, of Celina, did not take place, because the men did not show up. The other preliminaries given were substituted in their place. Floyd Hunter, promoter of the match, stated this morning that he was also disappointed with the showc *1... Ixzxiit hut that hu I

ing of the main bout, but that be - hoped the next event would be more to the liking of the crowd. This is the second boxing match to be held at Sunset park this year. —o ————— Dutch Bauman Wins Race At Winchester Winchester, May 31—Smiling Dutch Bauman, Indianapolis, a former mem her of the A. A.
