IDPIGID HERE IT IS Part 2) As we said yesterday, the Klamath Falls Boxing and Wrest ling commission leaves the issue of whether it's to be mitt or maul up to its appointed promoter in in this ease. Mack Lillard. Mack asserts that from past experience in this city and from his long association with boxing and wrestling, boxing will not par in Klamath Falls for any length of time. Ac cording to Mack, ha is willing, ready, and able. to bring the best coast boxers into Klam ath Falls when he feels the town will support it Lillard has in the past pro- moted leather pushers here, and even before his advent in town, i tossed the discus over 132 feet others have tried it. to easily cap a first in the 20-30 In every case, programs have meet and MeCandliss leaped in folded after enjoying a short to a high hurdle second. spectacular success followed by! dwindling interest. This is the best argument against bringing boxing back. It comes not just oa one state ment from one promoter but from the record of several pro moters over a period of years. Although we are not taking aides in the issue, we can not help believing Lillard knows best in 1 this particular situation. He has a breadth of experience and a i wealth of contacts built up over i a period of years in this region, j With such an ear to the ground . he should know the choice of the general public whether it be : for mitt or for maul. Mack tells us he would rath-, er promote boxing than Test-' ling, because he knows more-' about boxing. He learned it as a competitor.

From a member of the Klam ath Falls Boxing and Wrest ling commission, we hare re ceired another reading of what has been public and published information for years past to-wit that the commission receives S per cent of each weekly gross gate, be it box ing or wrestling, of which 6 per cent. (0 per cent is paid to various veterans' organisa tions in the city. The balance goes into the city treasury. Members of the commission, of which there are five, serve without pay. That, Mr. and Mrs. Public, is , the other side. 11 resolves itself, as we see it Into only a question of whether , basketball . baseball, Everett, Klamath Falls wants boxing or .

A man approached us with the Idea of promoting boxing, wanted to know ii it could be done and if not, why not. We ourselves wanted to know and felt those who are interested in boxing and wrest ling locally would also want to know. From here on we'll leave it to you if you want it.

S l.tS QL Ben Bulk, Inc., Boilon Billy Soose Decisions Overlin Veteran Ken Goes Down Ta 15-Round Defeat; New Middle Champ Crowned By JACK CUDDY United Press Correspondent NEW YORK, May 8 (UP) Billy Soose completed one of the ring's most funlastlc flights to glory tonight when he wrested the middleweight championship from Veteran Ken Overlin in a unanimous IS round decision at Madison Square garden. The slender, dark-haired lad from Farrell, I'a., who was r rady to hang up his gloves in disgiist less thun a year ago, out fumbled the ancient ex sailor to tiike the unpopular verdict In nne nf the dullest middleweight title fights ever staged. Like Amateurs During most of the bout, 31-year-old Overlin and his 23-vcar-old challenger fuught like amateurs, missing u many punches and fulling Into o many clinches that the funs made almoot as much noise yelling fur action as they did after Die final gong, protesting the decision. In winning this title, which Is recognized only In New York and four other states. Soose re ceived the votes of all three of ficials. Referee Arthur Donovan and the two Judges. Marty Mon roe and Bill Mealy. Donovan and Monroe each gave Soose eight rounds and Overlin seven, while Mealy scored nine for Soose, five for Overlin and one even. Fans Protest Judging from the funs' pro tests and remarks of many ring side experts, it Is likely that to .night's decision will be dis puted as stormily as the one last July when Soose received a j questionable non-title 10 round verdict over Overlin at Scran ton, I'a. This writer scored the fight even, giving each fighter seven rounds and rating one session even. It was that kind of a bout, with both champion and chal lenger equally bad. Soose, who had gone Into the ring an 11-3 favorite In the bet ting, did not seem to have the strength and skill that he dis played In his last appearance against Ernie Vigil on March 7. It Is possible he was weakened by paring down to the 160 pound limit and then coming In much lighter than expected at 1373.
