Harrison ring show next Tuesday night, his opponent being the tough Bobby Williams, of Syrause, N. Y. A roar of approval greeted the announcement from the Fort ring, Tuesday night. The card last night was topped off by the poorest sort of fight and The Times’ decision on the bout between Red Uhlan of Oakland, Cal., and Bill Atkinson, San Francisco, is “no contest.” The Fort management certainly “booted” one when the fighters were not thrown out of the ring at the half-way mark. The affair wasn’t worth a decision, win, lose or draw. The supporting card was one of the best ever staged at the Fort. The bright spot came in the semiwindup when Tracy Cox, the local bantam, knocked out Willie Yap, the Honolulu Chinaman, in the second round. Otto Atterson, the Terre Haute blonde, won rather easily from Paul Dare, San Francisco, in six rounds. Dare, a good boxer, was outpunched by Atterson and was knocked down in the third. Young Nasser, a greatly improved fighter, stepped in against Joe Lynn, of Princeton, and gave Lynn a nice lesson in mitt tactics. Nasser earned an edge in the first three rounds by out-boxing Lynn and in the last three went out and outslugged the Princeton lad. Claude Payne, a Ft. Harrison regular, shaded Ray Mitchell, a C. M.
