Beginning their drive with their first victory of the season in the bantam weight division, the Gamecock battlers tore furiously at the Georgians in the remaining bouts and held a command ing lead throughout, although the Cracker fighters took the featherweight bout to tie th. count at one all in the first two bouts of the card. Bantamweight Craven, South Carolina, 117%, decis ioned Brown, Georgia, 117. Taking the offensive from the, be ginning, Craven carried the fight to his opponent throughout the first round to take the session. Brown came back in the second round to earn a draw but weakened in the final round be fore. the withering fists of the Carolina battler, and Craven won, to give the Gamecocks the lead.
