ONLY an ordinary crowd attended
the minor event show at NC
~ Careys pavilion last night, al
though the card appeared in prospect
and proved to be one of the best shows
that has been staged at Maud Junction
since McCarey cut out the near cham
pions. Only, two fights went the limit
the others ending in knockouts or being
stopped when 1t appeared that one of
the principals was hopelessly beaten.
The surprise of the evening came in
the second number on the card, IN
which Charlie Anslinger fought Frank
Picato to a well-earned draw. This Is
the first time in his ring career that
Picato has permitted any opponent to
stay the limit with him. Anslinger
was woefully lacking in condition or
he probably would have given the un-
beaten lightweight a thorough drub-
.bins. After the second round he
showed his lack of proper preparation
for the fight in every way but ne
gamely stuck to his task and Is fully
deserving of a draw with the knockout
kid.
Billy Morris stopped the Turk in four
rounds, after they had put up the
fiercest milling of the evening, ana un-
til the Pitcher protege landed the lucky
punch that set Abdul groggy honors
easily were even. Both boys TOOK lot
freely from the first minute of the
fight. but Morris was a bit too good at
the rough house game for the TURK
Willie Fairbanks of San Francisco
defeated Jim Konkel in the curtain
raiser after six rounds or rather or
f,a fnI1
fouled his opponent. Fairbanks is
clever boy and speedy and outclassed
Konkel in the fine points of the game,
while he also showed a variety OF
wallops that. won admiration for nam:
Konkel never had look IN ana hao
the fight been scheduled for ten ROUNDS
n is probable that Fairbanks would
have stopped him. The Frisco boy
landed at will and with good erect,
while he at all times was able TO plocK
the leads of Konkel. Fairbanks pulled
off a La Blanche in the fourth ROUND
that was quite novelty to the spec
tators. 1t is the same blow that won
the championship of the world for It's
originator, George La Blanche. rms
blow is a pivot swing and is said to
be foul.
> Anslinger Is Surprise
The first round of the Frank Picato-
Charlie Anslinger bout was whlrl-
lighted the crowd by landing repeat
eddy to the jaw of the Italian knockout
Kid, and three or four times he stag
gered Picato with clean right swings
to the jaw. Picato stuck to his job IN
game manner however ana refused
to be seriously distressed.
The second round was fiercer than
the first, Anslinger coming back with
greater confidence and landing more
frequently. He was setting terrific
pace, however, and soon began to show
the effects thereof, when Picato began
to get to him with the first effective
blows he had landed during the fight.
AS the bell sounded Anslinger was in
a bad way and was stopping some
fierce wallops to the head, although
Picato was unable to put over the
finishing wallop.
Anslinser showed plainly in the third
round that he was in no condition to
go a route, as he was breathing heavily
and had lost all his dash and steam.
Picato smashed him at will, but An
singer covered up so effectively that
he was enabled to stick out the round.
The fourth round found Picato firing
also. and his blows lacked steam.
Anslinger landed more, frequently and
effectively than his opponent and, II
anything, had shade the better of the
round. Both were very tired, how
ever, and neither inflicted any great
amount OIL
had a shade the best of it in the fifth,
although neither did any great amount
of real fighting. both being SO tired
that neither could hurt the other. Al
though Anslinger was too tired 10 DO
much in the fighting line In the sixth,
he more than outfought Picato and
easily earned a draw.
kutchos Stops Two
Eddie Lennon was selected as the
first victim for Mike Kutchos in his
championship stunt of whipping two
men in one night. Eddie went at his
job like he understood what he was
abount tanning into Kutchos with
right and left leads and dancing in
and out to count and get away.
Kutchos unbuckled one or two
straight lefts and landed them, but at
the end of the bout Lennon had
shade the best Of 1t. He kept up these
tactics In the second round, but was
not quick enough to avoid the straight
