Seattle Boy Fags Out After Buihlin; Lead;

Damaging Duane Hoag showed a disappointing $1578 hoe why
they call htm The Durable" last
The Tex Salkeld battering ram,
he has shown in previous outings
new silk panties twice to grab a
Cook in their fist-filled rematch."
It wasn't so much a Case of Hoag
outelugging the rangy Seattle boy
it was more the fact that Cook
outslugged himself.
Hoag handler Salkeld insisted
Cook "weigh under 135" for the
retake of the roaring six-rounder
the two slammed off here, two
weeks back, and the losing of the
weight apparently weakened Cook
too much. He simply ran out of
gas in a riotous fourth heat after
coming within a split hair of salt
ing The Durable away in both
the first and second stanzas. That
fourth round, loaded with every
thing from a toe-to-toe start to
warnings to Cook' from Referee
Packy McFarland to -lay off
what looked like rabbit-punching
and elbowing, saw the 134 Vi pound
Seattle boy fade out after holding
the rallying 128 V pound Port-
lander even for the period. Cook
slumped to the deck when he
reached his corner, McFarland
took one look, saw he wasn't fit
to go on,, and gave the duke to
Hoag.
.. Hoag, fighting not like the us
ual buzz-saw he can be, nearly
got himself kayoed in the first
round. Cook caught him with a
right high on the head to floor
him for a One count and then
followed up by backing the Dane
into his own corner for a vicious
two-fisted attack. Again in the
second Hoag went down, this time
from a slashing left to the face
and for eight counts. But he ral
lied strongly near the end to avoid
signs of an apparent kayo.
The Salkeld boy opened up In
the third and won the round de
spite failing to display much of
his dynamiting style. Then in the
fourth both came out after a
knockout and stood toe to toe try
ing to get it for fully 10 seconds.
Cook, hot to go, waved Hoag to
"come and get it." He got it, all
right, but dished some of it out
to Cook also "during the roaring
round. It was apparent halfway
through that Cook had blown out,
and near the finish Hoag was try
ing to set him up for the payoff
blow.
The semiwindup saw Manuel
James, 157 pound Portland negro
whiz, deck Johnny OTJay, 156,
Butte, Mont.-, seven times in the
first two rounds before slamming
a wicked left to the tummy in 50
seconds of the third to gain a
kayo over the stockily built Mon-
tanan. Many though James con
nected low with his walloping lefts
but the payoff punch landed above
the belt line. O'Day just didn't like
those thrusts at his middle.
Bud Abney. San Duncan south
paw at 146, hardly drew a sweat
before he had Swede' Anderson,
148, Portland TKO'd in 2:40 of
the first round of their four-master.
Abney's hard lefts scored eas
ily and Anderson went down twice
before Referee McFarland stopped
it. Anderson was just as glad as
Abney It was over."
Leon Moore, 13414, another Dun
can bty, got his 5-ffght win streak
stopped abruptly in his prelim
with Kid Brown, 135 4, Portland,
when Brown, scoring right and
left all the way through with
hard wallops, took an easy decis
ion. Moore was down for nine in
the fourth. The opener between
Bill Towery, 137, Turner, and
Frankie Perry, 138, Portland, the
latter subbing for Jackie Dillon,
went to a draw. Towery was
downed in the first round and
was bloodied up Considerably, but
lasted through to get the split.
Perry went down for a no coun
ter in the fourth.

U bet $2,000,0(T0 that his circuit
wilt net eellapse. ,
-It is childish te say that the
contracting of stars will end
when the Pasquel family's meney
ends. The contracting-. will end
when ear clabs are cample ta
with several stars In each. Wa

from the Cardinals. They waa Id
do It' again If they thought It
would, do any good.
Bosiori still has hopes of land
ing an experienced Infielder
(Whiter KurowskL Card hold
eat is the one they wxnt anat
some more pitchlnr, hmt it is not
. too well prepared to', go trad

The owners are not expecting

In a single sprin. They signed
him to a three-year contract with
