THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, WEDNESDAY, MAR. 22, 1916 t-.

FAST PUGS READY FOR CARD HERE

THE CARD. : : George Klett vs. Young Holzauer (Cincinnati) (Ft. Wayne) 10 rounds at 145 Frankie Mason vs. Joey Nelson (Ft. Wayne) (Indianapolis) 10 rounds at 114. Tommy Cavanaugh vs. Willie Barnes (Cincinnati) (ClneinaU) 6 rounds at 135 Wayne county's colony of boxing fans is ejecting to witness a rattling good scrap tonight when George Klett and Young Holahauer, lights of considerable repute, crawl through the ropee for the final number of the Quaker City A. C. boxing show at the Eagles' hall. Both men arrived in Richmond this morning and after a little limbering up work pronounced themselves ready for the gong. -Holzbauer Is a rangy, heavy muscled lad and looks every inch the fighter be is. Klett, a quiet unassuming youngster, says little and saves all his energy for the ring. The preliminaries, in which Frankie Mason and Joey Nelson figure, as the seml-wlndup offering, and the opening bout between Cavanaugh and Willie Barnes give promise of a wealth of action.

0R00KVILLE LOSES TO SUMMIT SQUAD IN BITTER BATTLE

Mt. Summit, 19; Brookville, 10. In the scrappiest game of the series, the Mt. Summit boys refusing to follow the dictates of the dope sheet, eliminated Brookville. It was by far the roughest and fastest game of the present tourney series. Howard Webb, acting captain of the B. H. S. five, in the absence of Happy. Ward, regular leader, failed to pull his team through into the semi-finals. Garwood Grimes, and C. Smith played great games for the winners. Webb was the bulk of the fireworks for the vanquished. The score: Brookville. Gls. Fls. F.Msd. Pts.

Final. Winner 4:00 vs. winner 4:50. (Time and place not determined). With the elimination of Milroy, Brookville and Cadiz by Liberty, Mt. Summit and New Castle, respectively, seven teams Richmond, New Castle, Carthage, Lewisville, Spiceland, Liberty and Mt. Summit were still in the

running when today's schedule opened with the Rlchmond-Lewisville game at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The way the dope sheet reads Richmond will eliminate Lewisville this afternoon.

NORMS GRAFT FAILS TO LAST BUT ONE GAME

' NEW CASTLE, 28; CADIZ, 12. Although Hobe Norris and his crowd of Cadiz leather tossers were backed by the entire rooter colony, C. H. S. failed to produce against the speedier N. H. S. outfit and thereby dropped out of the running for the school title. Cadiz played a hard, driving game but could not keep pace with the Miller scoring machine. Miller and Cox led the forces of New Castle. Miller was a "bear" on

the offense and trapped 'em from almost any angle. Norris, who guarded Miller, displayed form. H. Long was the one best man for the losing combination. His floor and basket shooting performance featured the team play of his team. The score: New Castle. Gls. Fls. F.Msd. Pts.

LIBERTY SHOWS GREAT ATTACK

Liberty, 36; Milroy, 8. The Milroy five was the " first to

drop out of the tourney race In the Tuesday afternoon lists. Liberty, producing the unexpected in the shape of surprising strength, played circles around its lighter opponent, and won through superior team work and bas

ket shooting ability.

Chappel and Shelton were stars of

the winning combine. Chappel trap

ped nine and Shelton six field baskets.

C. Roberts played a stellar game for the vanquished. Dillon, at guard, for

Milroy, was a dependable scrapper. The score: Liberty.

STIGALL GAINS REPUTATION AS PUG IN EAST

Away out in Cumberland, Md., and other Eastern points, Lil Artha Stigall, who claims Richmond as one of his "home towns," is establishing quite a name for himself. Stigall, it. seems, has been cleaning up on the rank and file of the Eastern lights and making a big noise as a champ in his particular class. In regard to the ability of Stigall the Cumberland Press prints the following: . ' . "Stigall is a great boxer and local men have gained many valuable points from him. His work has been a revelation to many who have seen a man who can mix things like lightning in the style that made nearly all champions famous."
