Yes, the "Stray Shots and Nibbles

means of inlorming would-be
sportsmen of the benefits which
can be derived from assisting in
the .nation-wide Izaak ; Walton
league program, and since such '
benefits are so important the col
umn will be here Just as long as
the space holds out . . Of course
as soon as the H & A club be
comes a full-fledged affiliate of
the league July 1, the column will
also drop the club name in favor
of the league handle . . Also
asked: "Is this armory boxing
school really of interest to the
kids?" Best way we can answer
that is to merely invite you down
to see a session on a Monday or
Thursday night and you can come
to your own conclusions . , .
When oyer 20 kids, from 90

weights, box with each other (and they really scrap), work on punch
ing bags, skip rope, etc., and" all this on a .hard cement floor sans
such as ring trunks, shoes and other equipment, you may be certain
they're interested all right . . . Sounds frightful, those conditions, but
they won't be that way long. Promoter Ira Pilcher and Instructor
Packy McFarland (the latter Is right in there with the gladiators
watching their every move), have plans, and big ones for the school
new mat, standard equipment, etc., all designed to' make it as homey
as possible for the future Dempseys . . . Most of this they hope to
obtain through an all-Marion county ' championship tournament in
the not too distant future, a strictly all-amateur affair open to any
or all two-fisted lads in the county. It's figured that if enough interest
is flushed in such a tournament, expenses encountered in making the
armory gym a first-cabin proving grounds can be made. Amateur box
ing prizes will of course go to the contestants, and it will' be handled
in such a way that the Simon pure status of all will not be endan
gered in any way whatsoever ...
'Netcland Ring9 Wasnt Quite Successful
Speaking of the village promoter and his desires to install in the
Ferry Street Garden a "Newland Ring" the round squared circle
conceived by AP Western Sports Editor Russ Newland and christened
by rasslers not long ago in San Francisco seems there won't be one
of same, yet. The pioneering effort in the Bay City wasn't a success
after all, according to a letter received from D. J. Shields, chief in
spector of the California Athletic commission's northern district The
practicability of the ring, constructed by Joe and Frank Malcewicz,
mat promoters' in San Francisco, proved to be "unbending." That is,
the grapplers who performed in the circle failed to respond to bounces
off the cable and pipe covered with rubber hose. The next day they
complained that their backs were sore from contact with the consid
erably rugged "ropes." So the Malcewicz boys went back to the
squared circle for their next show.
However, another attempt at revolutionizing the boxing and ras
sling games by virtue of the round ring is now being made by engi
neers of the Marin Shipyard, according to Shields. They examined
Newland's idea, saw where it could be perfected by cloaking thin
cable with heavy porous rubber instead of garden hose used by the
' Malcewicz and claimed a foolproof round ring would be ready some
time in June, it's to be set up in the Civic Auditorium there, and
when completed will have cost in the neighborhood of $1000.
So the local Mike Jacobs must now wait until June. And at a cost
such as that, if it were we the waiting period would be 23 Junes
after the 54th June after the next one.

Woodburn Joe's "Win
Streak Halted at 25
PORTLAND, Ore, May 28
Lloyd Marshall, . Cleveland, dura
tion light heavyweight champion,
administered a classic beating to
Joe Kahut, young k Woodburn,
Ore., farmer, to win a 10-round
decision in a non-title bout here
tonight before 5500 persons. Mar
shall weighed 164; Kahut 172.
It was Kahut's first defeat in
25 j prof essional fights. He found
Marshall too ' experienced and
tough. Although Marshall' won
eight rounds, the hard-hitting
Kahut scored the only knockdown
flooring Marshall for a no-count
in , the sixth with a stiff left to
the jaw. Kahut won this round
and the first was even. 1
Both were content with jab
bing tactics in the opening round.
Then the veteran Negro ; boxer
solved Kahuf s low crouch suf
ficiently to pile up points, al
though he missed more times than
he; landed. ; ' fr -,": ,
Kahut scored two rights early
in the second round but Marshall
jabbed to his head and staggered
nun with a hook to the jaw. Mar
shall came back in the next frame
wjth a flurry of lefts and rights,
most of which Kahut caught on
his arms and gloves.
Marshall grabbed the ropes as
he" went ; down in the sixth from
Kahut's left hook and came up
without a count. Kahut tried des
perately to put him away with
rights and lefts to the head but
Marshall.' covered up cleverly,
Marshall missed badly in the
seventh but out-pointed Kahut. In
the 10th Marshall tried for a
knockout and had Kahut cover
ing up. Kahut's face was marked
up some and his left eye swollen.
Kahut employed defensive tac
tics throughout the bout and drew
a chorus of boos from a crowd
of iMhome town" fans in the 10th
round when it was apparent that
he was not going to fight it out
with Marshall, even in that final
canto.
The scheduled eight-round semi
windup between Jack Huber, 197,
coast guard, and Dave Johnston,
2061, Portland, was stopped in the
third round by the referee and
declared no contest for stalling.
Bobby Brock, 148, Woodburn,
and Billy McCann, 145 Vz, Seattle,
drew in six rounds. Bobby Wright,
172, Portland, and Sailor Redding,
170, US navy, drew in
rounds. ;
