"With the signing- of the six-round
battle between liarl Zimmerman and
Kid Roeco yesterday, next Wednes
day night's card at the Milwaukie
arena was completed, with fiv ster
ling bouts on the fistic menu card.
-, The scheduled eight-round match
between Billy Mascott and Sammy
Gordon. Portland's two bantamweight
contenders, is arousing more inter
est pro and con than any match that
kas been billed here In months. Some
have even gone as far as claiming
that Matcolt wanted to run out on
tlordon. which was hotly denied by
the Mascott camp .yesterday. There
are many angles -leading up to the
feigning of the match, In fact more
bo than to many a world's cham
pionship set-td. There has been the
greatest of rivalry between the two
boys for some time. Gordon was
never considered of Pacific coast
championship timber until his man
ager, Abe Matin, took him south for
ati invasion of . California Beveral
months ago. Sammy came through
and surprised his most ardent ad
mirers by decisively defeating Danny
Edwards, Georgle Spencer and three
oUier of the best bantamweights in
the Bear state. Matin figured that
he was entitled to a crack at Mas
cott. who is cons'dered as the best
bantamweight on the coast, and set
tle the supremacy.
Both Boys Sign Blind.
The Milwaukie boxing commission
--Signed Mascott for two fights shortly
after Bobby Evans' return from Ca.ll-
fornia and before he received the job
. as matchmaker of the Portland box
ing commission. His first opponent
, ,. was to be cither Danny Edwards or
.'.'.'Harry Mansell. He fought and beat
Edwards. Shortly after Mascott was
' signed for the two bouts Match
maker Kendall also signed Gordon
tor two battles. There has been "dy-
-namite" in the air ever since nego
" 'tiations were started to bring Mas
cott and Gordon together, and a lot
ot talk. That it would be a great
battle is the opinion ot all of the
boxing fans, wHth Mascott the slight
". favorite.
Matchmaker Frank Kendall of the
" ' Mil wauk ie. boxing commission expects
. Johnny Fiske, the Rock Island feath-
" ''erweight who meets Joe Gorman
one of the special events, to give the
latter a real engagement. Trey are
elated to travel six rounds or less.
Murphy la Not YVorrylnR.
... The main tangle will find Johnny
:.: McCarthy of San Francisco trying to
. 'ii i , outfigure Krankie Murphy of Dsn--"
ver. The boys will have ten rounds
; to win in. Although McCarthy has
.i.-n tieen highly touted to the Denver
''welterweight. Murphy is not worry-"n-lng
in the least, and even goes so
."-far as to say that he might get real
rough and administer a sleeping po
tion to the San Francisco harp, some
thing that is seldom done.
Muff Bronson and Joe Mandot will
'.r.atep eight rounds, while a six-round
bout between Earl Zimmerman and
JTl-Kid Kocco will start fvie show off.
" Jimmy Wilde, the greatest chunk
. . of fighting machinery ever shipped
to this country by England, has col
lected $GO,500 for eight bouts in this
"well-known country since his arrival
last November.
For losing his initial affair to Jack
Sharkey in Milwaukee he drew down
$11,000. His win over Johnny
("Babe") Asher in St. Louis netted
him J5000, the smallest purst he lias
-received to date. His three-round
-knockout of Mike Ertle In Milwaukee
rewarded him $6000. -He was reim
bursed $8000 fy stopping Mickey
'Russell in the seventh frame in Jer-
eey City. For meeting Patsy Wallace
in Philadelphia $6000 more flowed
" into hia coffers. His end for success
fully defending his world's flyweight
title against Frankle Mason in To
ledo totaled $11,000. Young Zulu Kid
was instrumental In adding another
$6500 in Windsor to the little Briton's
earnings. At Camden, N. J., where
-)ie halted Battling Murray in the
-eighth stanza the other evening, he
drew down $7000.
$7700 Average la Made.
An average of $7700 for a scrap
isn't bad money nowadays, all things
considered.
