Peace Maker Fight Ends In A Draw At The Quay
On a crowded harbor scene two local men Joe Gubbs and Tarbut fought over a bet filled with excitement. Trainers planned a race style event with a purse of fifteen shillings and sixpence but a last minute clash led to a draw and promises to share winnings. It ends with the crowd learning it is a draw and plans to split the purse.
