The result Of the Tracey-Jost fight
in Portland Wednesday night. fully
proves 10 the public that the Portland
boy is a mere school boy in the prize
ring and has been over-rated by his
admirers, Before the men entered the
ring Jost demanded his share Of the
gate receipts and delayed the fight for
over an hour. It is suspected that he
saw his finish and wanted TO remain
on earth as long as possible. From
the very first. Tracey punched Jost
wherever and whenever he pleased
and the Portlander was unable TO
ward of the blows or touch Tracey.
In the second round Jost went down
and remained on one knee, until the
referee counted him out. While Jost
was on the floor Tracey went over to-
ward him to put on few finishing
touches should he rise. but Jost had no
such intentions. Hewarned Tracey to re-
main ten feet away from him. There is
too much yellow in Jost's makeup to
make him fighter. Purtell, who per-
mitted Jost to remain in the ring with
him for 20 rounds, in order to get an
other dght cut of him, no doubt re-
grets that be did net give Jost a few
good ones during the fight here when
he had the Portland youth going down
queer street" The ease with which
Paddy Purtell bested Tracey and the
snap Tracey had in the fight with Jost
cause local sports to feel that the fight
here was not on The square.
