The truck was not damaged to any

in a snappy eight-round bout at

night, Tom O’Rourke, of Atlanta, was
given the judges’ decision over Mike
Owens, of. Savannah, it being stated
that the Atlanta boy made the best
showing in seven rout ds. He was de
scribed by those who witnessed the
match a s a Scientific boxer and proved
entirely too elusive for his heavier
opponent, who was unable to land
oie of the punches that have been
hay makers for other boxers. On the
other hand, O’Rourke is said to have
been able to land his blows almost at
