Not only did the Strattan Opera House hold a big boxing match in February 1921, but ladies attended, and none of them fainted!

This event's connection to the American Legion post lent it an air of respectability, with such upstanding citizens (and military veterans) as Dr. Dwight Mackey and Carl Krausse conducting the proceedings.
