The bat !j tiers that aurvlved that wild first ! night came hack last evening and ! (bowed a lot of fighting ability to ' go with their belloose Intentions and if the result was a card Just that much i! better. 't They learned a lot on that first 'i appeeranoe, but none of It was cau tiousness. The f sna last night, about jj 1000 of them, got all the action of the ii previous evenlng'a show and ome bang-up battling featured every bout. ! The whole thing left the patrons en thualastlo and gave Indications ot a ; record crowd for the finale- billed ,', for tonight. Joanaa-Dunford Oo Thrills. Out of that welter of wild mixes I (am one that brought the house 'i down. It was the tussle between Irtdle Joanaa and Levon Dunford In the welterweight class. Dunford, j i rangy and resourceful with a fine left. 'I wirvlved a first round In which the j fast and hard punching veteran had it blm on the floor and on the verge of !! at knockout, fought his way to an even '! break In the second and won the final f! ' by mile when Joanaa wore away to !; a whisper and his punches lout their ii steam. It was a great fight and might ! ht gone either way. The evening's l thrillers seemed to run to decisions. : although Referee Erlckaon had to ij hoist all of Ray Price as well as his ! mitt in awarding him the edge over i Jimmy Orr, Orant Paaa mlddle- weight. At that the decision was un questionable an Price also weathered j ; an awful thumping In the early stages ; before landing enough solid shots to !' put him out In front. It was a bel i llgerent and gory affair, both con .iania tlirnwinff minchea from all 1 over the place, splitting the edge in i: the first two rounds ana i-rice gm ;! lng the verdict In a slow-motion final. , Hawkins Conies Tnrouan. ! Indefatlguable Billy Hawklna. Med ford, who takea hie ring work lightly almost totally Ignoring euch points as defense, did some more lusty punching to atop Leland Ashcraft. Ashland welterweight on a technical knockout In the last round. Leo Ohelardl. who has a penchant for picking tough opponents, picked one that the Judges seemed to think too tough, though there were some fans who were dubious even after the decision hsd gone to Pete Bowers. ' CCC battler. They are lightweight. ! The first of the evenlng'a trio of j thrillers had In common with Its companion fights, lot of action, and j a decision call, but differed In some I officiating fantasies that had fan a j uncertain as to the probable outcome governed by the bueineUke way In j which the combatant were hatnmer ! lng each other.

In a wild start Keferea Erlckaon hoisted Pool's glove when both fighters mixed It Indua- ' trtously after bis command to bresk.

(AP) U Jack Hsgen, superintendent of the five golf courses Paul Llnln owns at Salisbury, had wagered a paltry S3 on his ability to bit deliberately a bole In one, he'd never have to manicure a green again. A prominent Broadway bookmaker once quoted the price against step ping up to a tee and calling your shot to the cup at 200,000 to 1. At the rate of 3 at thst price the fig ures are simple, 140.000 Ii you make It. That' exactly what Hagen did yes terday In the tournament the World Telegram atages annually for golfers who slready have a hole In one, either by accident or design, to their credit. Hagen, first to shoot, dropped his third bsll In the cup with a No. 7 Iron and the shock was so grest he never did take bis last two. No one tied him. affectionately and Industriously be tween rounds. Lutk It Unlucky. Another gory affair hsd a first round termination when Carol Wright CCD welter, opened a cut over the eye of wild Carl Lusk of Medford In the first round and was awarded the fight on a technical K. O. The opening fights didn't have to pot the features anything In point of class or action. In the curtain raiser, Rex Pegg, Medford lightweight, stopped Rodney Hawklna of the CCO on a technical In the third round Billy Orless and Virgil Burnett a pair ot CCC bantams, staged a fast three rounds the former gaining an edge. Another technical was chalked up In the next bout when Ray Powers did some effective punching to stop Earl Page. Medford continued' to hold It own when Ted LIndley outboxed br vllle Stockstlll of Grants Pass to gain the decision. Watson Given Nod. Decisions were the deciding factors in two other bout, Jimmy Watson. CCC lightweight, gaining the nod over Clarence Cook, also of the CCO and Johnny Shaw of Grants Pass using the same route to trounce Jimmy Palmer ot Medford In the last welter weight engagement. There was noth ing fraternal In the way In which Russol Reed belted his fellow Roy Hill, Junior welter for a second round technical knockout. The bout last night had none of the wild uncertainty of the previous night. They wore In dead earnest, viciously fought, and more prominent still, smartly fought. Less Showers and Dick Russel, promoters, had tneir lighters clicking ss well as their prep arations, but the latter were none the less welcome, featuring an effective ventilation system, good officiating, and the bouts running off on schedule. After last night's brilliant showing the finals tonight will, in all proba bility be fought to a capacity crowd and after such a showing tne earn shouldn't disappoint. SUMMARY Rx Pegg.

DUNFORD, JOANAS BATTLE THRILLER OF SEMI-FINALS By Bob Coil-is. t Whoever It was who first got off the now quaint old bromide of "the third's the charm." will In all like lihood -urn contentedly In his grave as an added bit of verification will be given ill theory when the boys who have proven they've got what It takea to mU In the finals of the big tour ney tn the armory tonight. Prom their rather dubious, slovenly start, the amateur punchers moved Into an entirely new category last eve; If the same Improvement Is hown tonight well, Its Just a case of warning Max Baer that worse evils than Hit ler abound In this particular year of our Lord and that here on our own coast. Not that last night brought out skill that cut down on thrills; for while it is true the boss did their bong and dance act with much more finesse than In the opening bouts, the canvas, nonetheless, took, just as bad a drubbing In the yesterday go es. Thirteen fights for the num ber. If no other reason had to re sult unluckily for some of the lada. unluckily In the extreme, that la. And -he fist f lingers who discovered most emphatically that thirteen on anything, or In any form. Is nothing to move them to cheer and laughter were Rodney Hawkins, of the CCO, Earl Page, Medford; Arhcraft, Ash land; Carl Lusk, Medford, and Roy Hill. CCC. Those five went the k. o. route the first four via technical and Hlil by the more to be deplored method. My penny or will that make the boya pro, Mr. Showers for the most exciting tiff of the cara goes to La von Dunford and Eddie Joanas. They can either divide the copper or fight for It but If they decide to do the latter, will someone please call 735J? That's something I don't calculate mlssln?, by heck not If the Med ford boy and the Ashland all-around star dupllcute their argument of Tuesday. Dunford eked out the de cision by as narrow an eke as any old eke expert ever saw. And threw, and took, a million punches in the do ing. Things like that turn banker and preachers and housewives Into Marquis of Que ens berry -era I But tho boys haven't won or done a thing yet strictly speaking. The final test, and the one that counts.
