Four Knockouts in Action-Laden
Show; Ayers Suffers First Loss j
4 , By Al Llgbtaer
;. The customers weren't there in fobs, but the two-fisted action
.and knockouts certainly were. Only a sparse crowd sat in on Match
, maker Tex Salkeld's armory fistic production last night, but those
who. did were rewarded with as slam-bang a show as the rotund
mitt maestro has towed in here in
months. So it goes. When the pal
ace is packed the action seems
, limited. When few show up the
gladiators try punching each oth
ers ears off..; , . . - ;' " ;
- They did a pretty fair job of the
latter fpecies last night as four
of the five bouts ended in knock
out. Both Klamath Falls Jack
, Snap, certainly all the middle
weight ! prospect .he's cracked up
' to be. and Salem's' Dick Abney
came-through with kayoes in the
double: main event,' And Salem's
Hal .Fries; belted out his " oppo
nent, Frank Duahe, in their
' brawl. The curtainraiser was a
kayo victory 'for -Bill Boatsman of
Kelso over Kick Burley, Portland
negro, in the light heavy das).
. A two-handed fighter and as
nice a piece of boxing prize as has
: hit the local bin since the big
revival.' Snap thoroughly out-
' classed the always game and ever
trying -Ray Garcia. The blond
thatched southern Oregonian was
in at 158. Garcia at 158 Snap
won all the 'first three heats,
' decking" the punch-happy Mexican
in the third and cutting his mouth.
Then in the fourth Garcia went
down twice, the second time re-
. cipient of a kayo when Referee
Packy McFarland called a , halt.
Garcia squawked . loud and long
afterward that he was not hurt
and wanted to go on. But he was
badly outclassed.
Abney, in at 1574. found a
willing , foe in Sonny Jackson,
Vanport 159 , 4-pound negro, for
two rounds, both of them won by
Jackson. But then Abney, after
being jarred badly in the second
stanza, caught the negro in the
third with a smashing right and
the end was in flight. He can
vassed -Jackson twice, bringing
spurts of blood from his nose. The
third time down Jackson"' stayed,
claiming he bad wounded his
light hand.
Ralph. Ayers. the jumping-jack
lumberjack, dropped his first
Tight here in the 4-round special
to Paul Kennedy, promising Long-view.-
Wash, 145-pounder who
was making his professional debut.
The well built negro -outclassed
Ayers all the way for the four
round decision. Ayers, fighting
with two swollen hands and a
sprained ankle, held no msyteries
for the negro with his noDDing,
Tumnine and weaving style. Ayers
