Newspaper Page Textr H I V A Vi ECHOLS RETAINS AAU AS 2,000 FANS VIEW BOXING TITLE LOCAL BOUTS ' By Harry Chlpman Wei Echols, 159, of Atwater, Ctl., ii still the national and European amateur middleweight champion and as far as Bull Halsey, 157, Portland, is con cerned, he can keep it. Halsey, who up until last night had been the rage of local fight fans, didn't have what it takes to cope with a champ of Echol's calibre and, as a result, last via a knockout in 1:45 of the third round before about 2,000 fans at the armory. Halsey's bobbing and weaving style, which had bothered all of his previous Medford opponents, proved no mystery to the champ. In the opening round Echols missed several attempts to straighten his foe up but enough of them connected to leave no doubt as to the outcome, Hality Does Best. Halsey tried several haymak ers from his crouch but those few which did land didn't phase the good looking Irishman from the south. In the second round Echols found the range and began to hurt the Negro from the Oregon metropolis. Short uppercuts and sharp right and left crosses had FACTORY DEMONSTRATION OF 1 Halsey hunfing his hole card and the Portlander was slowed con siderably at the end of the round. Halsey slipped to the canvas twice in the session but neither trip counted as a knockdown. Twice in the third heat Halsey was smacked to the canvas, once for a count of nine and again for six and the blood was coming from his mouth. The champ's punches were finding their mark in rapid succession by now and Referee Ken Lindley acted wise ly in stopping what had turned into a one-sided slaughter. Echols Best Yet. Echols is undoubtedly the best fighter, to show here in many a moon and if Promoters Larry Burdette and Owen Thomas are successful in bring ing him back, the armory prob ably won't hold the crowd. Capt. Bill Burch, Echol's man ager, expressed pleasure in the way his boy was received in Med ford and expressed a desire to bring him here again this sum mer. In the semi-findup Al Alex ander, 134. Oregon lightweight champ, fooled around too long with Jim Puscas. 138, Eugene, and lost his crown. Alexander claimed after the fight that he hurt his hand in the second round and had to take it easy. Kenny Carothers, 142, south ern Oregon welterweight champ, had too many guns for Woody Willis. Portland, and won a un animous decision. A good loft jab to the head kept Willis in trouble most of the time. Steel Wins Decision Buddy Steele. Etipeno. proved the surprise of the evening by winning a split oVcision over Don Y Swimming Squad Picked Among Boys Tryouts were held during the past two weeks of boys classes at the YMCA for those who could qualify for the "Y" swim team.

PCL Cha Game Sites; Eyes Surkont San Francisco, June 20 (U.R) The fellow scouts are eyeing in the Pacific Coast league this sea son is big Max Surkont. who hap pens to be hurling with consider able success for the last-place Sacramento Solons. The only thing that keeps Sur kont from being an outright sen sation is support that shouldn't be given to a class X bush league team either defensively or offensively. Of 32 games won by the So lons to date, Surkont has been credited with 12. However, of the 52 Sacramento has lost, he goes on the ledger for only six Finished 14 Games To show his effectiveness, Sur kont has finished 14 of the games he has started. He leads the league In strikeouts with 102 and has walked only 48 in the 153 innings he has pitched. He has an earned-run average of just slightly more than three runs per nine innings. Surkont will toe the mound for the Sacs this week in San Diego, where he'll pitch against what was once known as the most powerful lineup in the league. Of late, the punchless Padres have been all-American outs and so should have their troubles against a hurler of Sur kont s caliber. In other PCL games this week.
