Their 'Aftic&--Boxing and
Wrestling Seen
The Athletic Association's carnival
of boxing, wrestling and indoor work
at the gym Tuesday night was seen
by 500 enthusiastic fans, the number
including, besides students, many fans
from the city.
The acts were put on in the man
ner in which it was announced they
would be and they were well received
by the stands. Especially the boxing
bout between Battling Sam, Columbia
lightweight negro and champion of
North and South Carolina, and Kid
Lamp, of whom the announcer, Mr.
Hines, said "one blow and he's out."
Sam bore the earmarks of a champion
in the assured manner in which he
carried himself in the ring and com
pletely outclassed the Kid. Near the
close of the bout he did not bother with
a guard but exposed his chocolate chin
to the blows of Lamp. Lamp, how
ever, knew better tlan make the
champion mad and so he did not bother
to hit him. Sam's shadow boxing, per
formed gratis before the fight was
amusing.
The adherents yelled ior their favo

Furman and Carter. The bout was
fiercely fought but the judges decided
that it was a draw.

Ayers in a one-sided scrap in the light
weight division. Announcer Hines in
formed the stands however, that Mr.
Ayers had been "physically indispos

Hugh Bradley and Evan Gregg, light
weights, put on one of the best bouts
of the show, the decision going to
Bradley. The Strickland-Searson bat
tle was the last of the lightweight
bunch and resulted in a draw.
Billy Baskin and Dubose Rivers met
in a wrestling encounter which was
called a draw. It was one of the pret
tiest events seen. Action in the ring
was suspended for a while and Bill
Poole and his gym boys held the
floor for a few minutes doing some of
their excellent feats on the bars, mats
and chair.
