TUorb - ' Spr-wl "Floor The clever young Cass county box er, Andy Schmarder, added another victory to his list last night at Col umbus when he banded a knockout punch to Itoy Rector, in the first round of what had been scheduled to be a ten round go and before a good sized crowd of the sporting enthusi-i-ts from over the eastern part of the state. The round opened with Andy de cidedly in the advantage and had not progressed far until a solor plexus blow sent Hector to the lioor where he remained for the count of -Jne and then slowly arose to continue the struggle with the husky Louisville lad but the fight was of short dura tion as a left jab to the jaw sent Rec tor to dreamland for the count and brought the victory to Andy. Several of the friends of Andy from Louisville had accompanied him to Columbus and were able to witness the shor; work that he mada of his opponent. Thio is a convincing evi dence that Schmarder is developing into a higher class fighter and his punch is getting the kick behind it that sends his opponents to defeat. His meeting with Captain Rob Roper is one of the possibilities that the host of friends of Andy are hopeful of seeing and he may be depended upon to give a good account of him self in mixing it with the mighty army battler. Clean cut and straightforward in every way, Andy Schmarder is prov ing himself the best and cleverest fighter in the state and his success is well deserved as he is personally a gentleman in every sense of the word and his record is that of a clean liv ing athlete. While in the city today Andy in formed the Journal that he has a match for the coming month at Des Moir.es with Homer Smith, one of the fast heavyweights, and which will be an exhibition of more than usual merit and will be followed in th.e near future by the meeting of Schmarder aryl Rob Roper.
