GRAYSON. Capping the climax of a sensation al tenth round at the Heillg theater Wednesday night, Alex Trambitas. youthful Portland welterweight, caught Joe Rivera flush on the chin with a rapid-fire right-hand punch which momentarily left Don Jose rest, ing with his gloves in. the resin. The final gong rang with the vet eran Los ADSeles mauler Teposlng thusly. it was a fitting climax to a great scrap in which a fast coming kid proved master of a slipping hero of scores of battles. Youtn was served. Trambitas was awarded a well-earned decision. Joe Rivers, boxer and gentleman, lost. But he did not lose any friends through his showing. It was his first appearance irf the hempen square since late last May. His judging of distance was decidedly off and old time snap was not in that aged right soup bone which used to rocK aspir ing lightweights into the land of nod. Rivers, in the opinion of the writer, did. not take a round. But from this do not think that Trambitas won a mile and a half or-anything like that. i a vont rtn his toes always. pressed a goodly number of times and had the well-known worried ex pression on his face on one or two occasions. Alex Carries Ms: Jit. On the other hand. Jack Fahle's protege continually beat Rivers to the punch and really had the situation well in hand at all 6tages. Five rounds went to the boy Roumanian wonder and five were even. Tram bitas took the second, fifth, sixth seventh and tenth. Rivers did his best in the last three rounds. It was in the eighth that he looked better than at any other stage of the conflict. He had lost three rounds in succession and seemed to be saving himself. He brought the claret from Alex' beak with a.lert hook and for the first time commenced shooting his right hand across and into enemy territory. In the ninth he continued his slashing style, but Trambitas boxed prettily and sent back volley for volley. Rivers was desperate in the tenth. Mexican Joe started for Alex, who shot a right hook to the body and followed with a left swing to tne jaw. stivers had been doing his best work at in fighting but had opened up now and was giving the young Portlander all he had. First one would have the ad vantage and then the other, when the right-hand punch to the jaw put Joe's gloves on the carpet at the end of a heart-breaking eleventh-hour rally. Gorman Proves Class. Joe Gorman proved what a won derfully strong boy he is when he beat Joe Harrahan into submission in the second round of what was scheduled to be a 10-round semi-wind-up. Harrahan made the fatal mis take of exchanging wallops with tne rugged Spanish tamale and heard the bir.lies twitter for his pains. m The 130-pounders fought even In tne opening stanza. Gorman came out In the second, and. rushing to close quar ters in Harrahah's corner, started to beat a tattoo on the Seattle boy's stomach. Instead of slipping out of the hole he was in. Harrahan decided to battle the chunkier Spaniard a his own game. The pair swapped punches until neither could hardly stand, Gorman ending it .all finally with a feeble backhand followed by a gentle right swing. Referee Day could have counted 999 over Seattle Joe. Zimmerman Gets Draw. Neal Zimmerman, Portland 130 pounder, was outweighed some ten or 12 pounds by Eddie Quinn, Tacoma but battled the latter to a draw.' Quinn ui:ed a one-two punch to ad vantage and the lads battled, at all times. Zimmerman evened things up during the last half of the miniature Verdun and deserved what he got. Neal's father, who was formerly a minister of -the gospel, seconded his sun. Eddie Haggerty looked like a pocket edition of Jess Willard at the end of four rounds of it with Al By ers, the former Multnomah Amateur Athletic club 125-pounder. Byer, after finding It hard to hold things even the first two stanzas, discovered that young Mr. Haggerty did not know much at the start of the thira. Haggerty was a BigHt when Willie Bernstein, his chief second, tossd "he rowel near the end of the fifth. They are lightweights. Jack Day handled the two main tilts, with Pearl Barnes Casey callins 'em in the preliminaries. DIVORCE EVIL PICTURED JUDGE GATEXS CRITICISES DI VERGENT LAWS. Eugene Sherman's Death Due to Recklessness, Verdict. WITNESSES GIVE VERSION Too Many Marriages for Conveni ence, Jurist Declares Children Keeded to Complete Home. Dangers that harass society as seen through the eyes of a judge who is brought closely into contact with the operation of the divorce laws and the high lights of human conduct as flashed across the scenes of the busy courtroom was brought before the members of the Portland Ad club Wednesday at the noonday luncheon by Judge W. N. Gaten. The topic was "The Divorce Evil of Portland," and the jurist was candid in expressing the convictions that have been formed in the experi ence of several years. Judge Gatens said: "We are living in an age of con fusion and unrest; the foundation of this nation has been and is now going through a greater revolution and one of even greater Importance than any war yet waged the destruction of the home. The home is the foundation of civilization, yet it is being assailed and threatened by the inconsistencies of state laws on the subject of di vorce. All the states of the union have different marriage and divorce laws. "It seems to me that we are living in an era of apartment houses, child less marriages, cookies cookers and twin beds. The apartment house man agers exclude children. It would ap pear when the records are consulted that too many regard marriage as a convenience, not as the most sacred institution of civilization and the foundation of society the home. And it seems that everybody is doing it getting divorces and getting married again. "The home is the only foundation on which Te can safely build our fu ture contentment and happiness. The pleasures of the 'g-ay, white way' will fade in time and never can and never will take the place of home."
