Several bouts were seen at the Eagles ball Tuesday night In the first of a series of bouts that are to be staged here every two weeks, by amateur fighters In this section of the country. Two of the bouts went the entire route of six rounds, one went two rounds, one three rounds and the main bout five rounds. Several of the boys were too good for their opponents and quickly 013-

poaed of them by the knockout route. The main go of the evening between Yank Druley and Gil Elckhoff, of Dayton, proved a thriller from the start until the finish which came In the fifth round. Both boys had been resorting to rough tactics, which resulted In Druley being thrown from the ring four times during the bout. In Ihe fifth round Eickhoff tossed Yank from the ring and Referee Mantell fouled the Dayton lad, but here the police stepped in and the bout was stopped. Druley was doing a considerable amount of holding In the first round, which did not seem to please Elckhoff. Being unable to release himself, he picked Druley up and dropped him to the floor. Elckhoff, an amateur In the boxing game and a rough and tumble type of boxer, who seemed to like to stand up and give and take, had too much of a punch for the more experienced Druley. Although he did not land as often the blows that did land were of more telling effect. The boys were fighting on more even terms until the fourth

round

ie

him very groggy. If Eickhoff had had

a little more experience he would have put him to the mat for the count. Druley took considerable punishment In this round and went to the ma"t when the Dayton lad connected with a right hook to the jaw. Then came the fatal fifth which ended the bout. Give and Take Fight In the semi-final of the card. Eddie O'Day of Dayton, and Gene Bundy of Dayton, put on an exhibition of the old give and take type of fight, with Q'Day having an edge on the giving end. After the first round both boys made things lively. O'Day led most of the time and forced Bundy to go on the defensive end of the milling. Al Lever of Miamisburg had little trouble in his bout with Fred Stackleather of Richmond. He toyed with the Richmond hoy. On several occasions Ievcr stood up and let Stackleather punch him, but the local boy did not seem able to oven jar him. I-eever is a wonderful little fighter and

knows the fight game from beginning to end. This lad has two knockouts on hi3 record over the clever fighter, Blocky Richards, the idol of the Dayton fight fans. The bout wont the entire limit, but. from appearances Leevor could have put Stackleather to the mat for th? count at any time. In the peoond bout of the card Andy Parker of Dayton dropped Earl Cappy to the mat for the count in the third round with a punch to the jaw. Cappy took considerable punishment in the first two rounds and it was just a matter of time until he took the count. Parker Is also a very clever boy and promises to be one of the leading boys in the fistic game within another year or so of careful tutoring. He now holds the amateur title of Ohio. Lee Hammond of Lima took the count in the second round when Kid Lewis of Dayton connected with the Lima boy's jaw in the first 30 seconds of the round. Mantell Officiates Frank Mantel was the third man in

the ring and performed very well in that, capacity, making the fighters mix it all the time they were in the squared circle. A small crowd of fans turned out for the bouts. Matchmaker Mantell Immediately set to work lining up anothre good card for the carnival in two weeks. Several of the boys who appeared here Tuesday will be on the card again in two weeks. Of the fighters here thi3 week those to appear again probably will be Andy Parker, Al Leever and Eddie O'Day. All three are first-class amateur scrappers and arc capable of putting on s-omo very clever exhibitions. Jock Hemple, who was booked to box Druley, was unable to keep the bout, as he received a dep cut over his right eye in a bout last week, and the eye i3 not properly healed yet. He probably will be booked to box Druley at a later date.

Blair, Ohio's star forward, received injuries in the contest that will probably keep him out of the game the remainder of the season. Purdue basketeers are spending their Christmas vacations in hard work on the hardwood floor at Purdue in preparation for the coming "battles with Wabash and DePauw, on Thursday and Friday nights respectively.

The ring at the Eagles' hall caused ! considerable trouble in the last bout of the boxing carnival held there Tuesday night. The ropes were not j stretched far enough from the edgei and a fighter going through the roreh I found it almost impossible to remain!

in the ring. Both men got to using rough tactics, which resulted in Druley falling through the ropes four times.

"HIPPO" VAUGHN SIGNS WITH BELOIT BALL TEAM

LIBERTY PREPARING FOR MORE VICTORIES

L1RERTV, Ind.. Deo. 2$. There Is j considerable gratification in the locrl basketball camp over the return lo form of the Scarlet, net teasers as exhibited in the last two games in which Hrookville was annihilated and Centerville was decisively beaten. With the pame with the sneedy Knightstown bunch carded for Friday of this week, every effort is being concentrated tov ards continuing in the winning column. DuBois. last year's center, has joined the squad, and it may be that I.e. will get into the affray for a few minutes this week. But McCashland is doing so well at the pivot job that there is little likelihood of his being hanged for the present. DuBois wi'l be used at back guard in conjunction with Grove, who has been delivering the goods most acceptably of late. Huntington is finding himself and with each passing contest he looks better at the forward berth Thompson. Huntington. Burt and Leab pre all showing improvement, and Rose at floor guard still keeps up the fast clip which makes him a great asset. His proneness to accumulate four personals before the forty minute have expired is his greatest fault. The game with Stivers high of Dayton, will be the real pinacle of the season for the locals. The Scarlet makes its annual invasion of Dayton on Jan. 6. The result of this gamo will be watched with interest, in as much as this game will determine tho real strength of the Liberty crew. Since Stivers is undoubtedly the best in Ohio, a close score will indicate strength for the losers.

(By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Dec. 28. Jim Vaughn, former star southpaw of the Chicago National league team, will again be a member of the Beloit. Wis., Fairies, a semi-professional club of the MidWest league, next season, according

to prominent baseball men. Vaughn was suspended last summer by Johnny Evers, then manager of the Cubs, and during his suspension he pitched a game under an assumed name at Kenosha. Wis. When he reported back to Evers, he was referred to Commissioner Landis and was put on the ineligible list a3 a contractjumper. Officials of the Cubs declare they have had no dealings with Vaughn since that time, and a few days agi Commissioner Landis said he did not

recall an application for re-instatement from the pitcher. Semi-pro men, however, claim that Vaughn's case was taken before Landis and was turned clown. "Hippo" then went back to Beloit and signed a contract for 1922.

it is possible that he will be given a chance In Wednesday night's game, j He will either be used at forward or; in the pivot position. Formidable Line-up. A very formidable line-up will be presented by the Capitol City five and the wearers of the Old Gold will find them a very haTd gang to trim- In their line-up are several former college stars of considerable note. The team has played some of the best college fives in the state and have dropped them by very close scores, losing to the famous Wabash five by 10 points, dropping a hard fought battle to the wonderful Purdue five by two points and losing to the Butler college five by four points. Kingsolver, of Franklin college, plays one forward position and was one of the best net men ever turned out of the Franklin school, playing four years on the Baptist team. He is very speedy and can be counted up

on to drop one through the nettings whenever two points are needed. His running mate probably will be Johnny Hennessey, who has had considerable experience in the indoor game around Indianapolis and was one of the mainstays of the Em-Roes last season. In the pivot position will be found

Doc Campbell, one of the mainstays of

the wonder Purdue five of two years

ago. Doc was one of the best offensive men that ever wore a Purdue uniform. ' He is a tall, lanky fellow and is a dead shot on under-the-basket-shots. He will make Simmons step along to keep pace with him. Hot Pair of Guards Matt Hinkle and F. Coffing will handle the guarding section for the C. of C.'s. They are one of the best pairs of guards in the Independent circles this season. Hinkle needs no more introduction and Coffing was one of the mainstays of the Purdue five last season. He formerly was a back guard,

but with such a man as Miller, the Purdue mentor tried him at center, where he played a whale of a game, although his original position is at the stationary guard. He is capable of dropping them through the nettings for two points from the center of the floor. They will have several good men on the bench ready to go into the fray at any time. Hank Stevens and E. Coffing probably will be given a chance in the forward positions. Buschman, an old Indiana star, will be used in the floor guarding position. Probably no team that has appeared against the Legion men this season will present as formidable a lineup

as will be seen o nthe floor in Wednesday night's game. The first game of the evening will be played betwen the Camera Shop Kewpies and the Muncie Midgets, junior state champs. The game is called for 7:30 o'clock.

in the state for several years and have a fast combination for the locals to handle. With the Camera lad3 putting up their usual game, they will probably take things down the line for a decided win over the magic city crew. With the extra licks of practice which have been put in during the past week they should be able to put up a far better passing game than ever before. The Midgets from Muncie bring a strong line-up with the clever little Turner, who was the heavy scorer in the last game which was played here last Vfnr Thia littla nlnvor ia ohl t

season. The general admission will be 50 cents at the door and no reserved seats. Better come early.
