u Packed Crowd Sees Ex-Sailor Boy
Handed Close Yerdict Over Lacey
. : . By Al Llfhtner .
An aggressive Bobby Richards, former tailor boy out of San
Francisco, and how -boxing boss at Portland university, brought to
an end the Northwest featherweight championship reign of Harold
(Snooks) Lacey by taking a hairline 15-round decision over the
negro at the armory. The taller and younger Richards weighed 123,
Lacey 125 . It was Lacey's first lews in local fisticuffing, and he
gained it by a closely shorn whist
ker.' Referee Packy McFarland's
- tally card read seven rounds for
Richard, six for Lacey and wo
a en. Judge . Harry uoiuns said
-7-6-2 for Lacey and Judge Frank
Saunders' 6-8-3, a 'tie. - s
iAnd that's, bow close the often
well-booed mix really was. There
"ere no" . knockdowns. In fact
.there were few hard punches and
only in three heats, the 11th, 12th
and 15th did the gladiators un
furl anything resembling' toe-to-toe
slugging..
Both , operated behind hard
working left hands throughout.
Lacey having the best of it here,
But. the willing Richards more
than offset the more solid punches
be look by aggressiveness. Lacey
was hooted spasmodically for his
clinching style and occasional
bicycling," Much of the fight
was spent rendering each other
harmless in faf too many clinches
to suit the customers. .
The fight, a rematch after the
10-round draw the two bad here
three weeks previously, was woe
fully slow until the 11th. Then
both battlers opened up, put more
oomph in their punches and
pulled from the gathering most
, cl, the few cheers theyi-got all
night. There was cheering when
the verdict was rendered, - for
, Lacey simply has not been a pop
ular champion here.
Dick Abney's hopes for all the
terriiwindup purse went blooey tn,
his six rounds with Mexican Ray
Carcia, as the two rooted and
rasled to a draw. Abney's cleaner
punches we're matched by Gar
cia ' willingness as the aggressor.
Abney was in at 1574, Garcia ot
1554. It should be mentioned
that Dick wasn't at his best he
only recently whipped a sedge of
the -flu."
It was a big night lor the other
two Salem battlers, however.
Both Ralph Ayers, 144, and Hal
Fries,. 125. posted victories. The
Jeady vastly popular Ayers
slammed a two-minute second
round knockout over Max Jas
per, 144, Vanport, and t looked
sharp in doing it. Fries needed but

knockout over Johnny Archuleta,

goes the saying and it may not
Dc too true in every walk of life
but. bah. she's all too true en a

big brothers have never, in re

termed a certain edition of the Portlands the "Percberona.'feBlg,
lumbering gents on the down-grade. 1 going no place, playing . out
their scant remaining years for that three squares a day. That's the
insidious- cancer of the whole set-up. ! The Portlands load up with
guys who aren't building careers, who aren't giving that extra ounce
in hopes of a major league chance. A preponderance, of the Bevos
have turned their backs on the peak period of their careers. And
that isn't conducive to an ideal frame of mind in a ball player.
Why, oh why, don't the Beaver moguls, build a system which
will detect the. geld in thetr ewa hack yards. How can the- Imm ta
field a winner t when so lax as to let such gemo.aa Don Johnson,
Johnny Pesky, Eddie and Joe Erautt, Joe Gordon, etc-, slip their
signatures onto other contracts. .
The presenf Portland- club has
performers. It's got a touch of youtii in Duane Crawford and
Dick Wenner and a couple of others but the core of the team is made
up of the boys who "came back down." And that ain't good. . . .
