Frank Picato the American-Italian
lightweight who went over to Aus
traIia last October on his own hook
for the express purpose Of getting on
match with Hughie Michigan for the
championship of kangerOOland. was
going along splendidly until he bumped
a haymaker from the British Welter-
weight chamDion-JO hnny Summers
Up to that time PicatO had been taking
the measure of the lightweights In
Australia at a rapid rate, beating both
the home boys and the Frenchmen VINO
were in that country Of course, his
aim was Michigan, but Hugnie was &c
layed in England owing to his matches
with Welsh and Wells and Frank had
to 90 after other game The American
born lad had been considered fairly
good boxer on the coast and he also
made a good showing down east, but
the critics there considered him god
second class boy.
After meeting heavy WelterWelSht
and winning, PicatO was matched with
Aft AIOrey. a native Of West Australia,
and he won after terrific battle OF 10
rounds. Not long after he was matched
with the French star. POsey. and again
he won, beating the clever little
French boy in Jig time.
The defeat Of the Frenchman was the
signal for tougher game for the yam
kee boy and he was matched win
Johnny Summers for the Welterweight
title, the weight being 14T pounds in
that country. PicatO's best weight Is
about 40 but he had to give away
considerable to Summers to get the
match which was a big drawing card
in sydney. It also proved one of the
hardest fights seen there this season.
For 10 rounds the two boys fought
like two tigers. first one and then the
other having the shade The end came
in the 18th when PicatO, who had
slowed up under the severe handicap.
received a hard right to the body and
left to the jaw. It was Summers
chance. and he was too experienced
NOT to take advantage of it He
-ushed and sent another swing home,
the American boy taking the count
lust at a time when he apSeared to
have weathered in splendid style
through the entire distance. At that
it was no disgrace to lose such a battle
and there is talk now of a rematch-
