THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. ORECON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1928 Soldier vs Sailor Encounter Ends Without Victory PAfiE SIX GORDON GOES TEN ROUNDS WITH KEWPIE The feud between the army and the navy (till remains In an un settled condition, at least Insofar as the part played by Kewpie Riley of Vancouver and Sailor Willie Gordon are 'concerned. The two went 10 rounds to a draw Thurs- day night before an exceptionally small crowd. - Riley, with his rangy build and longer reach was a difficult target for the sailor, but at that Willie kept prodding away and stood up and mixed things whenever the sol dier felt so Inclined to stir matters un. The first couple of rounds were mild atralrs. both boys evidently being cold and willing to feel each other out. Each one ol tne remain. Jng eight rounds with the possible exception ol the loih were about as. similar as rounds could be. The boys would rush to the center of the ring, spar about for a minute and tnen mix tt lunousiy lor a while, then dance about some more. Once during the latter part of the fourth when the sailor evidently got a bit riled up he sailed into Kewpie and the pair flailed vicious ly at each other, most of the blows falling on shoulders and kidneys. The final round brought the fans up howling as the two fighters for got their sparring tactics and pounded each other with both fists. However the blows were mostly of the side swiping variety and fell on the shoulders where they did little harm. Gordon was careful throughout the fight to not land anywhere near the foul line and this carefulness probably cramped his style to a cer tain extent. Riley is an excellent boxer and would make a vicious op- Sonent for anyone in his class if e really cared to extend himself. Jack Peterson, a substitute for Red Hayes, who was unable to fight because of an attack of Influenza, and Terry Kllleen of Independence staged an old fashioned slugging bee when they weren't embracing each other In one of their numerous clinches. Kllleen kept jabbing the rortiander with a lelt to the head which did little damage while Jack ribbed In several body punches that must nave jarred me irisnman. Peterson was awarded a decision Kllleen said he fought the last two rounds with a broken right hand. Jimmy Woods of Amity landed one of nts infrequent swings to Del Russells Jaw In the latter part of the fourth and the Salem boy went down for the count. Woods ap peared a trifle muscle bound but was elusive and hard to hit with a solid punch. Jackie Wattenberger and Quy Hickman fought one of the fastest bouts of the entire card, with Jackie taking the decision. Hickman took a count of nine In the second but came back In the third and 'put Wattenberger down for a short count. The Independence lad was the strongest and had the most stamina and kept boring in con stantly. . The affair between Jack, Nelson and Bernard Kulin, the curtain raiser was called a draw.
