Xaat Nights Boxing Contests

THE OCTftBON TSTEWS Fill DA JANUARY 28 1898

A large crowu in which were scores of leading citizens of Paris and dele- gations

¬

from Lexington Georgetown and Millersburg saw two lively box ¬ ing contests decided at the opera house last night under the auspices of the Paris Athletic Club Tfae principal event was a ten round go between Kid LaEeber and Louis Heller of Cincinnati which referee Desha Lncas declared a draw Though Lafeber forced the fighting Heller had decidedly the best of the contest cleverly avoiding Lefebera swings and punishing Lefeber considerably The fighting was fast in the fifth sixth and eighth rounds Heller landing often on Lafebers libs and lace and several times on his stomach Lafeber weak- ened

¬

considerably in these rounds but made a game fight throughout

The preliminary contest was a swift fifteen round contest between Eddie Parker and Warren Brooks two local boxers Brooks had the advantage in weight reach and quickness but Parker made an excellent fight Louis Lafeber the referee declared the fight a draw

A ludicrous contest was a free for all scrap between five colored middle weights who did much promiscuous pounding

Heller and Lafeber were seconded by their brothers

An officer yesterday told The News that it was thought Fields is a slick confidence man Report alleges that law books have been stolen in Winches ter and other Central Kentucky towns by a party who gave the name of Fields to book buyers in Cincinnati
