thereafter was wholly on the defensive
Montana poked him in the face re-
peatedly with a left jab that worked
like a piston rod and the Italian boy
was bleeding profusely after the third
round.
In the eleventh round Picato came
back fairly strong considering his con-
dition at the end of the tenth, but ne
was wild and realized he was beaten
Montana worked his left hook repeat
eddy and again put Picato to the mat
for the count of nine. Picato stalled
out the round and came back for the
thirteenth with his face badly bat
tered, his right eye all but closed and
his left eye swelling fast while his
nose and mouth were bleeding freely.
He was weak and attempted to stali
out the round, but could not do it.
Montana put him down with another
left to the jaw, and in a few seconds
repeated. While Referee Tommy
Walsh was tolling off the seconds Pi-
cato's advisers tossed a towel in the
ring as the Italian was out, and they
desired to save him the humiliation or
being counted out.
The second preliminary showed up
a promising young scrapper in Kid
Arcy a Mexican. This boy fought like
veteran, showing remarkable clever
ness in blocking all leads Of his op-
ponent, while he also had most ac-
curate catlike spring that was fol-
lowed with a whirlwind of blows that
Young Pico could not weather. He
will be seen in local engagements soon
if the local promoters know their bust
ness.
Charlie Anslinger refereed the Cour-
sey-Butts fight, Jack Laponte refereed
the Young Pico-Arcy scrap and Tom
my Walsh handled the main event.
About 70 Los Angeles sports went to
San Pedro on a special that left this

Eddie Marine of Seattle In the tenth
round of a fight for the featherweight
championship of the world. Marine
was outclassed by Attell, but he put
up a game fight and in several of the
early rounds forced the fighting, driV-
ing Attell TO the ropes. The fight orig
inally was scheduled for twenty rounds
but was changed to ten rounds just be-
fore the men entered the ring. The
greater part of the betting was on the
ability OF Marine to stay the ten
rounds. Attelfs cleverness enabled him
to ward off the fierce rushes of Marine
and In turn to pummel him unmerci-
fully. Marine began to weaken in the
third round, when the gong saved him,
