ROWAN GOES
001 IN TENTH
Tho prize flght Saturday night at
the skating rink was largely attend
ed by tho sporting element. Tho
crowd was orderly, and everything
passed off according to schedule ex
cept the number of rounds fought.
Tho affair was scheduled for a 20
round contest between Dummy Row
an and Bert Peterson, but "Dummy"
-was knocked out in tho tenth by a
straight right hander to tho jaw.
Eefereo Charley Howard gave gen
eral satisfaction, and his decisions
v?ero usually accepted without ques
tion. Peterson was handled by
"Billy" Hunter, while Mr. Schrock
performed a like service for Rowan.
Tho gate ir-ccipts amounted to
$485.50, which were divided on a
basis of CO ?nd 40 per cant. Peter
son had th 3 best of the flght through
rut the contest, he being at no time
in danger from Rowan.
"Billy" hunter is now attempting
to perfect an arrangement between
"Silent" Rowan and Tommy Tracy
of Portland, to be pulled off here on
the 17th. If this goes through, it is
predicted that spectators will witness
one of tho fastest and most exciting
contests ever seen on the coast.
There had been the usual question
ings during Saturday, and some had
predicted the contest was "fixed";
how, no one attempted to say, yet
thlero were those who were suspi
cious. But tho scene at the ringside
before the game started proved con
clusively to the spectators that every
thing was on the square. The delay
in selecting a referee and arriving
at a thorough understanding before
tho mill commenced convinced tho
sports that they wero to see a
"straight" contest.
"When Peterson stripped, it was
seen at once that ho was in the best
condition of his career. His muscles i
"were trim and ho showed strong. I
During the arguments over a referee,
It was seen that Peterson looked a
triflio nervous. He was continually
eyeing his rival, who had entered tho
ring and stripped some time before
Peterson's arrival. . ..Rowan, whoso
weight was given at 170 pounds,
looked to weigh at least 190, being
tuilt on the lines which character-1
ized tho old-time prize fighters, short
and stocky, and apparently ab'e to
accept and assimilate great punish
ment. It was seen at once that Peter
son had the advantage in reach and
height, and speculation was rife at
enco. Roaiu. in trying out the ring
and canvas, showed unusual quick
ness, and tho wise ones wero quite
ready to bellev. ho would give Peter
s'" n an interesting time.
Peterson looked lighter than at tho
time he fought the "Montana Kid,"
but he appeared ready for a long con
test. Tho opening round demonstrated
tho belief of the audience that tho
contest was to be a good one. Tho
men wlent at it hammer and tongs,
after a few seconds feinting for open
ings. Peterson was seen to have tho
lead, and commenced to land his left
hank jabs en Rowan's face. Rowan
was blejdin,5 bciore tho round closed.
Peterson adoj.ted a circular method
of fighting, and pranced about his
opponent. Rowan stood right up to
the game, and was getting encour
agement from tho crowd for his lino
ducking and blocking of Peterson's
lilows. Yet, Peterson was landing
his left frequently. Every round
Avas a repetition of tho first, and, try
as he would, Peterson was unable to
reach Rowan with his right punch un
tl tho latter part of tho contest. Tho
til tho latter part of tho contest. Tho
Rowan scorned waiting for a favora
ble oponlng, and crowded Peterson
toward tho corner whenever ho could,
but Peterson saw tho danger of be
ing caught at closo quarters, and al
ways got away uicely. Rowan swung
many rights for Potorson's jaw, but
none of them lnnded until lato in tho
flg)it, when ho game through twice
with heavy exchanges.
Although Peterson was landing his
left so frequently in the early part
of the fight, It looked as If they were
not causing Rowan any trouble, for
he showed no distress and was after
Peterson every minute. It was not
until tho eighth round that he evi
denced any sign of uneasiness, and
then a change was detected in tho
look of confidence he had carried
throughout.
Near the closo of the eighth round,
Rowan went to tho floor after a hard
left hand blow, and the gong sounded
beforo the count was started. He
was no disrcbsed, and was on his feet
immediately. In the ninth a hard
i left opened a three-quarter-inch cut
over Rowan's left eye and he bled
piofusely. His eye immediately be
gan to swell, and the nudtenco saw
that he was weakening. The tenth
brought tlvo finish. Peterson landed
a stiff left which dazed Rowan, and
then quckly sent his right to the jaw.
Rowan dropped to his knees, and tho
referee counted the ten seconds which
put Rowan out of tho contest.
Tho verdict was unanimous that
Rowan put up a gam econtest in tho
face of the disadvantage of age and
shorter reach. His pose in the ring
was the best that has been seen on
Coos Bay.
Peterson's friends find that ho has
Improved wonderfully in the past
year, and are now predicting great
things for 'him. Ho yet shows the
novice, however, for he has not yet
learned the advantage of following
up advantages which como to him
continually in a contest. He is not a
one-hand fighter by any means, and
can do as good execution with ono
hand as with the other, though he
uses his left most frequently. Ho
showed good generalship in the flght,
and newer placed himself in danger.
He emerged from tho contest with
out a scratch, and seemed good for
several times the amount of work
he had done.
The preliminary was between
Tommy Cassell and Jack Hogan. It
was announced as a friendly bout,
and served to put the spectators in
a happy mood for tho big mill. It
was purely a bout for points, and tho
contestants sparred for four rounds.
