PAGE SEX
KNOCKOUTS
FEATURE 11
Yes, males. It wsa some bat
tle.
In card featured by three
knockout and In which at least
eight knockdowns were scored
before the evening was over,
Wesley Ketchell, thst merciless,
hard-hitting middleweight of
Portland, won orer Borneo Le
sion, Fullerton high school
youth, on a technical knockout
In the third round of their sched
uled 10-round bout at Merrill
last night. Although still on his
leet and with a gameneaa that
urged him to go on, LeMon was
suffering with long and severe
gash orer his eye, and waa In a
bad way when Meferee Jim Stev
ens stopped the tight about half
way through the third round
and raised Ketchell's hand as a
signal ot Tlctory.
A Terrific Battle.
- There waa as much excitement
crammed Into the short two and
a half rounds as is often seen
In a full 10-ronnd bout, and not
one of the Urge number of fans
who saw the encounter left the
Merrill community hall with a
feeling other than It was a great
battle.
It waa a fight from the be
ginning. There was no feeling
out" as Is ordinarily the case
during the first round. Ketchell
started right out from the sound
ot the gong to assassinste the
game LeMon. LeMon started out
to murder Ketchell, and ' they
went at it hammer and tongs.
There waa a swish as the gloyea
of the battlers sailed through
the air, and many a loud thud
as one connected with the other.
The lightning left of Ketchell.
which he uses with marvelous
speed, precision and deadliness,
waa Out Into action from the
outset and was finding its mark
on LeMon's body and head. The
pile-driving right of the dufky
skinned Californisn was swing
ing out far and wide for Ketch
ell's head and found its mark,
though pot squarely, more than
once. It was fart and hectic
and the first round ended with
honors even.
A Memorable Round.
The second round was one
which will live In fistic mem
ories for a long, long time.
There was more action, more
savage hitting and gameness dis
played In that canto than has
ever been crammed Into one
round in a Southern Oregon
ring. Evidently each, started
that round with the intention
ot storing the other away be
fore the close. LeMon bored
right Into Ketchell and took the
fight away from him for a few
seconds. He Dotnerea Aeicnen
with straight left Jabs to the
face and head and In the melee
that ensued connected with his
' right to the head. The fans
were shouting and general bed
lam ensued as the two stood toe
to toe exchanging blows which
resounded from one end ot the
spacious hall to the other, and
both were near the point ot
grogglness. But, the shiftiness
of Ketchell prevented LeMon
getting set to deliver his pile
driving right with full force,
and following the LeMon rally
of a few seconds, the vicious
Ketchell, recovering from the ef
fects ot LeMon's offensive, un
leashed an attack that for ring
generalship, short, snappy and
deadly blows, has never been ap
proached in the history ot the
fight game In Southern Oregon.
Ketchell's lightning left connect
ed with LeMon's bead and face
once, twice and the California
youth crumpled to the canvas
in a neutral corner. At the
count ot two he arose to his
knees, where he rested until
the referee had counted seven.
He was no sooner on his feet.
however, than Ketchell was
showering him with a succession
of short, smashing rights and
lefts, and LeMon went down a
second time Just as the bell
rang.
LeMon Is Game.
The powerful blows of Ketch
ell had their telling effect on
the game LeMon, and although
somewhat recovered from the se
vere pumelling of that torrid
second round, it was evident at
the opening ot the third that be
could not weather the storm of
blows which Ketchell would un
leash. LeMon, displaying a game
ness that won hint hearty ap
plause, sallied in to give Ketch
ell the best battle which his
weak legs would permit, but his
efforts were short lived. Ketch
ell caught him with a left to
the body, and shot a deadly
right which landed immediately
above LeMon's eye and he went
. down for a count ot nine.
Ilomeo arose, his spirit willing
to wade In again, but his legs
were trembling and sagging be
neath bis body aa Reteree btev
ens waved him aside and raised
Ketchell's hand In token ot vic
tory. . Although LeMon expressed re
gret at Stevens' method ot ter
minating the fight, the latter
displayed good judgment and
saved the game youth unneces
sary punishment. Ketchell de
clared following the fight that
LeMon was one ot the gam eat
men he ever met, and he has
squared away in the prise ring
with at least a huudred or more.
Another Great Battle.
The four-round aeml-wlndup
between Jack Breedlove of Bend,
IS8. and Red Mondotle, 157,
Ban Diego lad and mate of Le
Mon in the atable of Jack Walk
r, was a wow. Mondotte, who
made his second start In a pro
fessional ring, was awarded the
decision. He smothered the
Bend led with a rain of blows
In the opening round and floored
him twice. Kxrlted and over
anxious to flnlxh his adversary.
Mondotto worked In too close to
. get in knockout punch before
I E CARD
the gong announced the close
of the hectlo round.
The second round waa full of
action with Mondotte leading all
the way, but unable to lay
Breedlove low for the count of
ten because ot being over-anxious.
Breedlove staged a sur
prising comebsck In the third
and If anything had a shade
the best of it in that round. He
landed several hard drives to
Mondotte'a face and head, but
tbe red haired lad demonstrated
that he could take aa well as
give. The fourth round found
both bovs tired, but Mondotte
easily had the better of 1U
Short and Sweet."
The four-round bout between
Battling Leo Burns. Sprague
klver Indian, and Jesse Ayala,
another Jack Walker protege, of
San Diego, which waa expected
to steal a part of the ahow, did
as waa expected but only tor a
few seconds. The fight lasted
exactly 47 seconds. Three licks
were struck. Ayala hit Burns
twice and Bursa hit the floor. It
was a long song the birdies aang
tor Burns, who was still in the
land of dreams when he was
supported to the dressing room.
Aysla is another of the voting
fighters Walker has under his
wing. His blows hsve the force
of dynamite and nnder the
coaching of that veteran gives
promise ot developing into a
top-notch man.
Another snort (me.
It was Bulldog Beno, Pelican
City Italian youth, who started
down for last evening's card.
His bout, scheduled for four
rounds, was only abont aa many
seconds old when he landed a
haymaker on Tom Bessler. Boss
ier got np before the count of
ten, hut was so wobbly his sec
ond tossed a towel into the ring
and the fight ended. Bessler
was still weaving around like a
horse with the blind staggers
when he was helped from the
ring.
Redskin Jackson win.
Johnny Jackson added an
other scalp to his belt when he
took the decision irom sua
Campbell of this city. The fight
ing Modoc Indian punished
Campbell severely in tbe first
round, and not to be outdone
by those knock-down punchers
who preceded and followed him,
downed the white boy tor the
connt of seven. It looked like
curtains for Campbell when the
round ended, but he came back
stronger in the second and Jack
son hsd only a shade of that
round. In the third Campbell
discovered he hsd a left fist, be
gan using it, and not only heia
Jackson at bay, hut took the
round by a shade. The boys
fought on pretty even terms In
the fourth, but Jsrkson had a
shade and was entitled to the
decision.
DeMott Get Decision.
Jesse DeMott, light heavy
weliht snud farmer of Merrill,
was awarded a decision over Gus
Eaton, colored boy. Eaton, al
though a superior boxer and
showing DeMott up during the
first two rounds, waa unable to
withstand the pace and saved
himself only by frequent clinches
and holding on. It was me onir
bout of the evening in which
one or the other of the con
testants did not collide with the
canvas-covered floor.
Roy and Gelbert Jonas, two
game and fast brothers of the
midget type, put on the curtain
raiser, and it was a hummer the
two little "pugs" staged.
while waitinc for tbe appear
ance ot Ketchell and LeMon in
the ring. Dolores Bitterly sang a
song and did a tap dance, fol
lowed by a song and. dance by
little Miss Ruth Barbonr.
A Super-Card.
Today the vast crowd of fans
are praising Joe Bickerstaff,
matchmaker, and Tnle" Lake Post
of the American Legion, nnder
whose auspices the event was
held, for staging a super-card.
It was that, and nothing less.
Every bout waa a fight from the
word go, and the main event
was all that advance notices
ssid it would be. Today fans
.r rinmorim to see Ketchell
In action again and If he is
matched with a man ot his cal
iber the fight will attract tne
biggest crowd In history.
James Stevens ot Tule Lake
refereed and be did a good Job
of It- He used excellent Judg
ment all the way tnrongn, ana
tbe only possible criticism that
can be offered in connection
with his work was the slowness
with which he counted.

Now is the time of year when

Donie Bush tells one about
Art Shires last year: "We were
playing a spring training game,"
says Bush, "and in the latter
part of the game, I decided to
take Art out and send in Clancy.
So after Shires had batted in
the seventh Inning I told him to
go on to the showers and let
Clancy finish.
'Wait a minute. Dome,- ne
replied. "Do" you want all the

Soon afterward a fan wise

This provided Nick with his

KID FRANCIS
BEATS SHEA
NEW YORK, Feb. II. (API
Kid Francis, auother ot those
well-known ander-dogs, has over
turned the dope In Madison
Square Garden whore ehort-end-
ers in tbe betting have won with
monotonoua regularity In recent
months.
The rugged little Italian, held
on the short end of i to I odds,
showed the ntmost contempt for
expert opinion by belting Kddlr
Shea, clouting Chicago feather
weight, all over the ring last
night and winning the unanimous
decision ot the referee and two
Judges.
Shea, returning to New York
after an absence ot six years and
In the role ot foremost contender
for Bat Battalino's 126-pound
crown, never could fatham Fran
cis's unceasing attack, won only
three of the rounds, reeled nnder
the Kid's body attack in the
eighth and tenth rounds and
waa completely exhausted by the
time tne final gong sounded.
Francis, who still ran make
the bantamweight limit, fought
entirely on the offensive. Never
taking a backward step, he
marched In to close quarters and
belted Shea solidly with short
Jolts to the body that slowed
tne cmcagoan down to a walk.
Shea, at i: pounds, had a
four-round pull in the weights.
