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.

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.

Bull Dog Reno, Pelican City

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-

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

FIELD PLACE
CHICAGO, Feb. 20. (UP)
Hack Wilson, who led both major
leagues with 66 home runs last
season, doesn't want to play any
place but center field.
In commenting on Manager
Rogers Hornsby's announcement
that be planned to shift the Chi
cago Cubs' outfield, moving Cul
ver to center and play ilson in
left or right. Wilson said today:
"I have always played center
field and of course If the manager
wants to shift me I'll he a good
soldier and do my best, but it will
simply mean that I will have to
start all over again. I've played
center field a long time and know
just bow to play the hitters there.
I bope Manager Hornsby doesn t
make the shift."
Wilson said he didn't have the
slightest idea what difference the
new ball would have on his hit-
ting.
"I'll still be up there swinging,"
he said.
Other- members of the Cubs ar
rived here today preparatory to
leaving tomorrow for the spring
training camp at Catalina Island.
The first squad of Chicago
