STARK HAMMERS HAYES FOR 10-ROUND WIN Fight Card Seen At Auditorium Here Last Night Solly Stark's powerhouse style got the best of a fine boxer, Jerry Hayes, Chicago, last night when Stark got a ten-round decision over the Chicago fighter in the main event of the American Legion fight card at the local auditorium. Stark weighed in at 165 and his dusky opponent went in at 160. Keith Gordon's professional appearance in the semi-windup against Don Voddens' jumpy style helped to give the Huron boy an eight round verdict over the Sturgis fighter who has come up fast in the last year. Vodden was the aggressor throughout, but Gordon's counter punching and clever boxing again wielded the opinion of the judges in his favor. Gordon weighed in at 156 with Vodden at 160.

Solly Stark's flailing rights and lefts in the feature event helped to put the nod on Hayes. Hayes, while a fine all-around boxer, left himself open about the face and Stark's left continued to tag him fiercely with savage rights as follow-ups. Stark took his share of the punishment, however, for in the first round, Hayes, with a left jab that got in Stark's way for the first four rounds, cut Stark's left eye. Stark went thru the first three rounds with a pretty bloody countenance. Late in the first round Hayes got a sample of Stark's windmill tactics with his rights and lefts taking the negro into the corner and against the ropes where the Chicagoan lost much of his spunk.

Stark the fight by backing the negro into ropes and corners, where stinging lefts and rights bombarded him. Jerry, nonetheless meted out blows in such corner frays that marked well on Solly. The pace set by the up and coming Solly was too fast for the brown boy. In the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds, took rather, left chinners which were Solly toyed with Hayes, who neatly followed by Stark's hay-making right. Hayes rallied somewhat in the eight, catching Stark off -balance a number of times with left upper-cuts which landed about the neck and jaw.

Both boys tired out, Stark in the ninth or tenth couldn't land the killing punch for the KO, with a resulting decision in favor of Stark which met with the favor of the crowd, a great majority of which backed Stark. A judge the gave five rounds to Stark, two and three referee, for Hayes. The other judge gave Stark five rounds, one draw and four for Hayes. Outboxed but not outpunched, Don Vodden was given the short end of a very close decision with Keith Gordon. Vodden's back punches and lightning lefts harried the Huron fighter, but finished footwork and adequate defense rendered Gordon safe from much punishment.

Wins Close Decision Rangy Al Hamre, Fruitdale, at 160, lost another close decision on last night's 40 et 8 card to speedy Harry Sankey, Belle Fourche, at 160. The fourth round of this six round bout highlighted the action, for Sankey landed powerful rights to Hamre's button that took Hamre down for a short count. Hamre turned around then, in the closing seconds of the ring activity and put the business on Sankey's nose that sent the boy with the trip-hammer hands spinning. Hamre got the range to Sankey's face in the fifth again and with his left working efficiently, he landed a sharp right cross to Sankey's face and Sankey went down for a brief moment. Both boys were pretty tired out in the sixth and Sankey's speedier style and numerous jabs copped the decision for him.

Knoff Mitchell, 155, of Wyoming, handed Warren Jerde, 150, of Fruitdale, too many lefts and right crosses for a technical knock-out in the second round. A satisfactory draw named George Geoffries, 128, Sturgis, equal to Irish McBride's aggressive "in" style. McBride, a husky belligerent fellow, had a more consistent manner in the ring, but Geoffries aim with his lefts had the boys equal in their three-round fight. The crowd, not too large due to weather conditions in the Hills, went away from the fights satisfied that they had witnessed one of the best cards locally for many months. Stark's form assured local followers of the mitt game that he is on his way to greater fistic successes.

Morford, Deadwood, refereed, and judges were Whitey Helmer, Lead, and Herman Paul. Jack Bickett, Belle Fourche fighter, refereed the preliminary events.
