BUD ANDERSON WINS OYER FRENCHMAN 1.03 ANGELES, May 21. Hud Anderson of Vancouver, Waal)., is to day m ar the top of the pugilistic lad der, and Joe Mandot is in the boxing discard as (be result of the former's decisive victory over the New Orleans Frenchman at Mi-Carey's Vernon arena last night. Anderson won handily by a technic al knockout I. the 12th round after he had led the fight from tho first tap of the gong. Mandot wliH itill on his feet but was iialpuhly unablo to de- j fend himself when Referee Eyton in terfered anj hoisted Anderson's arm, declaring hlin the winner. Hud's great punching power won him the battle Ills boxing was crude and the Frenchman easily surpassed him at the long range work. Ander son, however, refused to work at a distance. After almost every ead by Mandot ho would rush to close quar ters and pound on the New Orleans boy's stomach with piston-like lefts and rights. As early as the first round it was apparent that HiIh mode of attack would seal Joo's doom. Mandot bad a hard time to weath er the ninth. He went to the mat from a short right to the jaw, but came up fighting bravely. The hell stopped the terrific; punishment. Throughout the 10th nnd llth rounds Anderson continued his body attack nnd in the 12th, after henting Joe's kidneys until Mandot was al most ready to drop, shot a sharp right to the Jaw that sent Joe reeling across the ring. As he leaped to flninh his work, Eyton Interfered. In addition to what veteran ring birds here declared to lm the most terrific punch ever exhibited at Ver non by a lightweight, Anderson showed amazing strength. In spite of Mandot's clever covering and hold ing, ho was unable to break the force of Hud's punches, which continually crnshod through the southerner's guard to his face. Ilefore tho third round was over Dud had begun to pay particular at tention to the kidneys nnd from then until tho end he bnttered the welter red back of Mandot. VANCOI'VER, Wash., May 21. Vancouver slept late this morning, for practically every resident of the city Btayed up lust night to henr the fight returns that brought t he news thnt their Idol hud stowed away Joe Mnndol, his highly-touted adversary. It has not yet been decided wheth er to preHciit Bud Anderson w ith nine city blocks, or purchase the govern ment reservation at Vancouver Bar racks, so that be may turn it Into a country cstato. "I expected Hud to win," said Mrs. Charles Anderson, the fighter's mother today. "He wrote to me that he would win before, the 1.1th round, and he Is usually right in sizing up his man. I want him to ko now and win tho championship and then re tire and settlu down here in Van couver." Several thousand dollars was sent from hero to bet on Anderson. PORTLAND, May 21. A few of tho wlso Portland boxing funs are carrying around sacks of that yellow, dinky metal, ns tlio result of Bud Anderson's victory over Joe Mandot nt Loh Angeles lust night, while a number of others are cursing the fate thai caused them to doubt the ability of the Vancouver boy to land IiIh opponent. For I ho tlrfct time since 11ml began his spectacular car eer as a lightweight champion con tender, ho lacked the backing of the Portland sports, who were afraid that Mumlol's cleverness would bo too much for him, Mandot was iv ten to seven favorite here, and thoso who hacked Anderson went to it strong and are. reported to have landed a small fortune. 1X)S ANGELES, May 22. Bound for Medford, Or., for a long rest, Hud Anderson left Los Angeles today. He will return about the middle of June to prepare, for a contest ou July 4 with Joe Rivers if such , match is arranged. The July 4 situation here was ex pected to be cleared today by Pro motor MeCarey. if Billy Nolan ac cepts McCarey's terms for Willie Ritchie, the champion and Rivers un doubtedly will meet here on that day. If he refuses, Rivers and Anderson probably will bo the card Joo Mandot will remain in Los Angeles until ho fully recovers from fie beating Anderson gave him when be fell before the sensational north westerner In tho twelfth round Tues day night.
