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

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

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.
Hollywood tries to strengthen its
first-place position against the
Ran Francisco Seals in the south;
Seattle visits Portland and Oak

Harpers 168 but if Steel
weighed that much, it was the
general opinion that he had lead
in his shoes. Harper was set on
scoring a knockout and almost
did it in the first round when a
volley of head punches sent
Steele to the canvas for a nine
count.
However, in the second frame
Steele made a fitjht of it and re
peatedly beat Herper to the,
punch and avoided the Gold Hill
kid's knockout efforts.

Joe Carothers. 155. Grants
