Because of the Wayne Fair, there were very few fans present to witne s the fights.' Those who were not there surely missed something well worth seeing. Driver and Inscoe -ft-ere on the card to work off a grudge with the gloves. Because of the small number of fans, the boxing- frays were called off and money refunded. The refund was some sati- faction to the payers but none to the fight ers. They wanted to fight, were go- ing to fight, and nobody was going to stop them. They went three rounds with the gloves, slugging each other for all they were worth. Not sati.sfied with this, they took off the gloves and tried the effects of bare knuckles until a police of ficer -topped thei-n. Inscoe was star-ting out of the ring after the knuckle-busting when the word “yellow” floated to his ears from the direction of Snake. And then the chairs went up in the air. and the police officer entered onto the scene again. Then peace and quiet reigned supreme. Driver and Inscoe are to fi.ght again Friday week in what prom ises to be a crack-a-jack. Let’s go up to Goldsboro and look ’em over. Even if you don’t get anywhere it’s a satisfaction to know you did your best. Everybody would be paid fe- forrTrer if raising money were just a little easier.
