Boxing News: The Vader White Hope Loses in First Round

Centralia, Washington, 1913
----------
FARMER AND SWAIN BOUT CALLED DRAW

Frank Farmer, of Kapowskin, and Joe Swain, of Portland, fought six rounds to a draw at the local armory before a big crowd of fight fans last night. The decision of Referee Biddy Bishop proved to be popular with the crowd, the fight being one of the most closely contested and the "scrappiest" ever witnessed in Centralia. Farmer led in the earlier part of the fight, while Swain came back for the best of it in the latter rounds. In the curtain raiser Battling Burley disposed of Billy McFadden, the Vader white hope, in one round.

FIND BIG MUSHROOM.

Sidney Jefferts and H. Ailsworth went deer hunting last Sunday. Game was scarce, but the trip was worth while, as they found a 16½ -pound mushroom. They have decided now to go mushroom hunting instead of after deer.
