This program was held under the auspices of the Eagles Lodge, apparently in association with the Moose Lodge. Although it raised $542 to give Christmas joy to the needy [6], the Farmer-Bonds' decision was so disagreeable that it, plus other financial headaches, prompted the Moose Lodge to cease offering bouts for the rest of the season. Dec. 22 Tacoma Times [7] (It appears that the Tacoma Moose Lodge started its athletic association in October 1912, with the goal of sponsoring wrestling and boxing smokers, beginning that November.
