DOUGLAS ISLAND NEWS
DOUGLAS HAS
NS TIME ON
IDLY FOURTH
One o£ the best and most satis
factory celebrations of Independence
Day ever held on the Island was
held In Douglas yesterday. Although
th© weather was anything but good
In the morning and for a time, post
ponement of most of the day's sports
was considered, by noon It had
cleared np sufficiently to run off al!
the events with comfort for all con
cerned.
The patriotic exercises which con
stituted the firRt event of the cele
bratlon, were held in the Liberty
Theatre at 10:30 a. m. Mrs. H. M.
McEvoy was orator for the day.
In her address Thomas Jefferson and
John Quincy Adams figured largely
as tho heroes in connection with the
origin of Independence Day. She
gave a brief outline of the historical
facts connected with the Fourth of
July concluding her remarks by
speaking of the near visit of Presi
dent Harding. Miss Mamie Feusi
recited the Declaration of Independ
ence in a most creditable manner
and the program was concluded
With sopgs by school children and
the, audience.
, Immediately following the eternis
es, tlfe crowds gathered along Third
Street where the course of the hr.se
eart races were laid and where the
teams were preparing to ran. Two
teams from Companies Nos. 1 and E
otie of the married men an 1 cue of
the single men, competed for the
prize of $25.00. Each team made the
ruh In 2S seconds flat and it was
decided by the participants to keep
the prize money intact and altogether
enjoy a feed on it some time after
the Fourth.
At one o'clock the main list of
.Ike events began on the baseball
grounds. The races were held first
and were followed in succession by
the baseball game, ladies ball throw
ing contest, boxing tournament, nail
driving contest for ladies and the
greased pig chase.
Boxing Contests
The first entry in the boxing tour
nament was Irving Hagerup vs.
Frank Stragier, who boxed two 2
minuto rounds to a draw.
Likewise ending in a draw was
the second bout of three 2-minute
rounds hetween Roy Ilili and Doug
las Santonin.
“Buster" Alfred Hewitt and Ch4s.
{toward constituted the final frame
Jn a four 2-minute Bcrap which was
featured by Howard's resourceful
ducking to evade Buster's long reach.
In the first three rounds Hewitt
bad the fight much his owr, with
out endeavoring very hard to anni
htllatc his opponent. He did, how
gyer, cause a little crimson to flow
from Howard's nose to help make
SMMfiiliiiHlillllllllililiiiiiliimimiiiiiuni
the fight look real. la th3 last
round Howard landed a few swings
which, had the round lasted longer,
might have won liim the bout.. Bus
ter, however, won the decision which
was given him, on points, along with
the 115.00 prize. Howard’s portion
on the purse wras $10.00. Each -if
I the principals in the other tights
received $1.00 each.
