FEATHERWEIGHTS STAGED CLEVER BOUT IN EVENING.

The feature event of the evening in the Armistice day celebration was { a six-round sparring match between two clever 125-pounders, of Chi- ' cago, Kid Swyg, champion swat ex- ' changer of Camp Custer, Mich., in his class, and Young Warm is, cream of the Camp Knox, Tex., fighters in the featherweight division. It was 1 a no-decision affair, but both lads put up an article of punching that delighted the crowd and the exhibition was voted as a clean, clever one. ; . It was a sparring match and noth-, ing more, as there was some sentiment against the fight being staged. The boys cut loose during the final round and gave the fans three minutes of hard fighting. Both of the maulers wbre clean young fellows and there was not a single thing ibout the whole affair^ nabt with adverse criticism. Both boys were fresh at the close of the milling and neither suffered any severe jolts. . r C. A. Ross was the third man in the ring and cautioned the fighters to break clean. In one corner, seconding Kid Swyg, was Bob Wartena, a local boy who not so long ago Tanked as a rather hefty swatsman in the roped arena. In the other corner directing Young Wormis, was Hugh Kirk, who with his discolered eye and 'broken nose, looked more like a fighter than the participants themselves —but he’s only a football player.
