N. A. C. SMOKER
WAS BIG SUCCESS
LAST EVENING
The Big Smoker, held last night
in the Dream Theatre, by the Nome
Athletic Club, drew a capacity house
and resulted' in the most successful
sporting event of the winter season.!
The entire reserve seat section
was sold out before the bouts com
menced last evening. Officials for
the bouts were Luther Dunbar, Ed
Steffen and Lyle Nevin, acting as
referees. While one of them refer
eed a bout, the other two officiated
in the capacity of judges. The time
keeper was Jack Humling. Harold
Sweet acted in the capacity of show
man, introducing the bouts as they
appeared on the program.
The first bout was between “Lefty”
Nelson and Ole Hay, Jr., 50 lbs. each
three rounds to a draw.
The second was between Eddie
Nelson and Mike Brandon, seventy
pounds, each, three rounds to a
draw.
The third bout of the evening took J *
place between Gene Elms and!
“Lefty” Wallin,- each 145 pounds,
three rounds to a decision won by
Elms.
Number four bout between J
“Speedy” Johnson, 160 lbs., and;;
“Soco” Seeley was won on a deci- j
sion by Seeley. Due to an injury,
“Red” Slack who was scheduled to
meet Johnson, could not enter the
ring and Seeley agreed to substi
tute for him.
The big attraction and highpoint
of the affair was the battle royaC or
free-for-all, between five native
boys, all weighing about the same,
the idea was that as each man was
knocked to the floor he automatic
ally was out of the fight. It narrow
ed down to two men and then they
fought two rounds to a decison, (
which was won from “Baer” by
“Dempsey.”
“Kid” Roberts, 165 lbs. versus
“Dynamite” Webb 160 lbs, fighting
four rounds resulted in a decision
for Roberts.
The heavyweight bout, 4 rounds, of
the evening was between “Battling”
Roberts and “K. O.” Comer, Ro
berts Weighing 190 lbs., and Comer
tipping the scales at 210 lbs. The
bout went to Roberts on a knockout,
Comer being counted out in the last
few seconds of the third round.
During the course of the several
bouts, the crowd in attendance kept
up a continual patter on the fighters
and officials and showed themselves
intensely interested in the sport.
Music before the bouts commenc
ed was enjoyed as the house filled,
and the people were seated. As a
smoker, the affair last night turn
ed out wonderfully successful and
numerous of the audience comment
ed on the pleasure of being able to
attend a smoker again as it has been
several years since Nojne has had
any. Interest was high, in whether
the Nome Athletic Club would stage
another smoker in the near future
