Fight Fans Say
Kahut Has Lead
Out Our Way
By J. R.Williams

(United Trm Staff Correspondent)
Portland, Ore., Feb. 23 i
Current boxing fans In the north'
west's hottest boxing town
namely Portland are raving
about Joe Kahut, Woodburn's
light heavyweight sensation, as
the greatest drawing card in Ore
gon's IlBtio history. .
Another school, remembering
those dark days back in the early
30's, have a different Idea- and
will argue blue- in the face that
there was another boxer who was
an even greater drawing card and
a more colorful', fighter than Ka
hut. Remember Ah Wing Lee? He's
the boy.
The little Chinese lightweight
with a paralyzing left, Just about
had this town- daffy over fights
hark In the- davs when it wasn't
so easy to, reach in the pocket and
shell out for the price of a gallery
seat.
Steele Wait Idol
Ah Wing's colorful ring career
came about the same time that
Henry- Woods was packing them
in. at Seattle, Freddie Steele was
the idol of racoma ana 11 mem
ory serve right, a dusky light
heavy by the name of Tiger Jack
Fox was bowling 'em over in Spo
kane rings. r
Lee, who started his career as
Jimmy Loe but after a few fiRhts
adopted- the Ah Wing, was pro
moted through his rise and fall
by the same Joe Waterman who
boosted Kahut to his present ped
estal in Oregon boxing ranks. Loe
was managed by Jack Capri, wno
currently is handling John L. Sul
livan, promising Portland light
heavyweight -I
The "old salt" brought Ah Wing
right up through the preliminary
ranks and then began pouring
main events at the llttlo Chinese
scrapper. With each bout,; the
crowds got bigger and bigger
and Lee kept knockin' 'em dead
with that left to the solar ploxus.
Included in- his victims during
his string of sensational victories
wore such men as Kid Dennis
then a Montana, sensation; Mickey-
Cohen, an Importation from;
Denver; Cowboy Eddie Anderson,
the old trial horse from Wyoming;
Sueo Hiakawa, Japanese light
weight champion and a host of
others..

Lee All Ready
Then, with a tab of northwest
lightweight champion on his
shoulders, Lee was ready to "do
or die" In bigger time.
Waterman booked young Peter
Jackson, California lightweight
champion, for a Pacific coast title
bout in Multnomah stadium.
Over 15,000 fight-crazy Port-
landers went through the gates
for that contest, hoping to see
their China boy punch his way
right into, a probable ticket to
eastern, rings and maybe later a
title snot.
But it was a let-down because
after seven furious rounds, in.
which the Chinese Idol of Portland
flstiana displayed one of the great
est fighting hearts seen in a Rose
city ring, the dusky battler from
the south scored a knockout and
. well the show was over,
i Lee- hung, the gloves up. for a
whilo and-then tried a short come
back but the stuff just wasn't
there and he quit for good, But
memory of his career will still be
around when fight fans start ar

Bright Days Seen
ForMinorLeagues
San Francisco, Feb. 23 lUl-Ed-die
Mulligan, present owner of the
Salt Lake City baseball' team In
the pioneer league, predicted that
the minor leagues will have a
postwar expansion unprecedented
in the history of the game.
"I expect to see the game ex
pand with no bounds,". Mulligan
,sald. "There will be minor leagues
springing up like mushrooms all
over the country and the best
part of It all Is that for once, the
minors will be on a sound finan
cial basis."
Mulligan, 50, was with the Chi
cago Cubs, White Sox and' Pitts
burgh Pirates before and after the
last war. Since the start of this
war, he has been working in a
San Francisco defense plant that
makes precision parts for lib MM.
howitzers.
Nets Big Sum 1 J,',
In the four' years the Pioneer
loop operated, Mulligan Is reputed
to have netted, himself $60,000.
When he acquired the Salt Lake
City franchise, he drew 180,000
paid attendances in one season
an all time record for a class-C
tcfun. Salt Lake had a population
of around 150,000 at that time.
His team disbanded in 1942.
He said major league clubs
would continue to back the minors
with a farm system, but added
that the days of the vast chains,
"such as the St. Louis Cardinals
operated, are past."
More Talent Itio
" Furthermore, I believe there
will be more good baseball talent
after the war is over than ever
before In the history of the sport,"

San Francisco. Feb. 22 tin
Barney Ross, the champion of nil

ranks just a few yenrs ago, is
settling down to, wrilo his mem.

The title of the book Is "I'm a
Lucky Ouy" and Its no mis

who battled lo two world titles In

this achievement at Guadalcanal,
Now 35 years old and his hair
streaked with gray, Ross Is in San

Front here he will return lo his

has cnlered the "stuffed fruit"

covered from wounds received
fighting the Japs, Ross already
has completed three chapter on
his book, which he- hopes will lie
made into a movie. "
Why the title- for his life his
tory? "Well. I'll tell you. I piny to
God up in heaven every night. It
was through him, of course, that
I was lucky enough to be horn In
championships; and doubly lucky
to get out of Guadalcanal with
my life," explains Barney.
During 10 years in the profes
sional ring, the Chicago-born lad
set records galore. From May. 27,
1031, to May 31, 1938, Ross lost
only two houtsr-and each defeat
cost him the welterweight crown.
He won the lightweight title
from Tony Canzoneri In 1933; and
the welter crown from Jimmy
McLnrnln in 1934. MoLarnln re
gained the crown later In the same
year, but Ross came back the next
year to clinch It for three years
losing to Armstrong Mny 31, 1938.
Barney took such a beating In
thai memorable 15-round fight in
New York that ho retired from
the ring.
Despite nil these ring triumphs,
Harney's greatest hour of glory
came with the marines on Guadal
canal. There he was wounded in
action but finally was rescued
after being credited with killing
2U Japs.

"Men In service tell me that

May Quit Game
Los Angeles, Feb. 3 IU" An
irate Lou Novikoff today served
notice on Los. Angeles baseball
club President Don Stewart he'd
quit baseball, before he'd report to.
the Angels, who. acquired the
colorful outfielder from tha- Chi
cago Cubs..
"I can't understand that deal
and I don't like it. 1 know for
sure that other National league
clubs wanted me, so there s some
thing fishy about the Cubs not
trading me to- a major league
club.
"I've been sold down the river,
bub that doesn't mean I have to
take it and like it," the fence
busting Russian snorted.
Stewart-said ho conferred brief
ly with the former Angel star
yesterday but that "we didn't got
down to real business,"
"However, I think Lou will show
up for spring training-Monday at
Anaheim, Cal" Stewart said.
