GREAT CARD PRAISED DY FIGHT FANS Romeo on Feet and Ready To Continue Slugging; Eye Badly Cut WmIct Ketchel. hardest hit tint mld'dlewelitht In lie world. met nd beat Borneo LeMon in three rounds of the hardest fight. 'h It luted, seen In the Klam- th ralley. last nlitht at the Mer rill American Legion ahow. The fight' wai even In the first round but far from the usual feel out round fought by most boys. Ketchel went out to end the light and it teems that LeMon had the same idea. When these two boys met In the middle of the ring, gloves started to fly and It looked like Ketchel was to have It his own way, but Just when everyone In tha arena thought Itomeo was dated, he started a long right that caught Wesley on the chin. 'IKKT IH FAST Both boys were groggy in the first round with the frlst minute nr so going to Ketchel. lie caught Itomeo on the chin with a left hook and Komeo almost went down hut was not hurt. He caught himself on the ropea and rame back punching almost un letting JVesley. Al the bell both boya were groggy. In the second round LeMon and Ketchel atarted with murder in their hearts and only one idea finish it. The going was tough for both boya and the sooner tbey rould win the better for their china and bodies. Scon, after a lugfest, Komeo caught Wesley on the chin and Ketchel all but went down. TSat boy has a tough chin and a great heart. Romeo kept punching and the crowd was on Its feet tor the kill and the unexpected Romeo knocking Ketchell out. JU KDfcKOl S LKFX However, Wesley snapped out of It and started his murderous loft for the body. It landed clean an Romeo sent a fast right over Wesley's chin and missing by a fraction of an inch. The punch landed with dynamite be hind It. Wen followed with a short right book to the chin and Komeo went down in the south west corner of tho ring for an eight count. He got up and tried to punch It out with Wes, who caught him on the chin and down Komeo went again. This time the bell rang at the count of two but Komeo was seeking elevation. COMES OCT SLUGGING To every one present It looked as though LeMon would come out too weak to even make an effort, but his manager, Jack Walker, had him in good shape and he came out plugging. Ketchel backed away waiting for an open ing and when it came he sent an other of his murderous left hooks to the body followed by that hard right hook to the chin. It landed high, catching LeMon on the left eye, splitting It wide open. LeMon went down from the bard left and right and took an eight count. As he atarted to his feet the referee, Stevenon, pushed him away and raised Ket chel'a arm in the air as taken of victory. Ketchel won the fight by a technical knockout. LeMon was on his feet and after his man when the fight was halted. Stopping the fight at this time was the right thing to do because with LeMon's eye in the condition it was he might have received a permanent Injury that would Im pair his fighting. WHS l'KAISKS ROMEO Ketchel tola the reporter, after the fight, that LeMon was the toughest boy ho ever fought and that takes in worlds of territory. He said that this fight was his 78th and his 54th knockout vic tory. Komeo all that be was sorry the referee stopped the fight and asked Joe to get him a return match If possible. He said that be enn bounce off the floor sev eral times and come back fighting hard, usually to win. His scrap book proves this assertion. Ket chel weighed 68 pounds and Hnmeo one-half pouud less.

Hoy and Gil bert. gmng the fans a hot thre- ronnd fight. These boys look Uk seasoned fighters in the ring. Bull Dog Reno, Pelican City pride, won in the fastest time ever scored here when he knocked out Tom Bessler in five seconds. It was the first punch. Beno looks good but needs coaching. DrMOTT VICTOR Johnny Jackson added another scalp to his belt last night when he won his four-round fight with Bud Campbell. Jackson was picked to win. but looked bad. He said that he had suffered a bad cold the last week and could not punch. He bad Campbell down (or an eight count in the first round and took the second. Camp bell came back to win the third but lost the last ronnd and the fight in the fourth. The boys are 138-pounders. When Jess DeMott crawled be- ween the ropes he received a big hand. He is Merrill's Jack Demp- i Jess won the fight from Gus I Eaton who weighed 165 pounds. The first and second rounds were slow but the last two were fast and were won by Jess. He out weighed Gus nine pounds and Gus was so tlrd in the last round he could hardly hold his hands up. There were no knockdowns in this fight. It was the only fight lacking knockdowns. AY ALA KAYOKS Ill'RNS The Leo Burns fight with Je?is Ayala at 138 pounds came to a sudden ending in the tint round and the first minute of fighting, when Ayala shot one of his short right punches to Leo's chin on the north ropes. Leon went down and counting was merely a formality. He came to Is minutes later in the dressing room. This Mexican boy, whom Jack Walker raves about, looks like a champ. He is making a comeback after having his jaw broken over year ago. He moves fast and hits with short TNT punches. Burns was hit so hard he did not even quiver. MAXDOTT WINS Another of Walker's boys. Red Mundott, won his welterweight fight with Jack Breedlove. after four hard punching rounds. In the first round lie bounced Jack oft the mat twice. Once for a no count and once for a five count. He is powerfully built and hits a la Jack Dempsey. Walker is bringing him along nlowly. Breedlove was fighting his firH fight in 14 months and his long lay-off was too much for so bard a fight. He fought a beautiful up-hill battle and won the third round but tired In the fourth. Thin is lted's Becond pro fight and he taks wonderful care of him self while in there. PACKED IIOl'SK J no BIckerstaff had a big house which totaled over H.OOU. The card was fast and furious and ovcry fight but one onHnl In a knockout or with one of the fight ers on the floor lor counts. It was the kind of card that fans enjoy and are willing to go a long way to see. Jim Stevenson refereed. Ho looked bolter, but his count is twice too slow, and after a knock down he slops the fight to wipe the resin from the boxer's glove. This is wrong and the improper time. Dolores Bitterly and Ruth Bar bour entertained with songs and a dance. St. Goddard Adds To Lead in Derby QCKBRC, Can., Feb. 20. (UP) Kmil St. Goddard. rupresentlng the Tavern club. Cleveland, Ohio.
