IN THE fourth
Fight Fans Are Treated to
Some Good Contests at
SchofieId Last Night

Il
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS. Oct IT.
The colors of the much heralded Bud
Walters, the champion, in his weight
of the Orient. were reversed Tor the
distress signal In the 10-round go last
night at the Infantry amusement hall
by the clever little fistic sportsman
Bud Roundtree OF the coast defense It
was easily the fight of the evenings
card and the interest here made II 4
fayorite over the Donovan-C arlin
fight, the main event Of the evening
Rarely has a fighter been shown
here who had the classy press notices
that Walters had and seldom. have the
fans been so disappointed In fight
er's inability to live up to his reputa-
ton The newcomer proved a fast
man, much given to the strut game
and with minimum of science back
ed up with considerable sand. He
showed savage left uppercut and
some punch behind right overland
swing, but his showing last night
stopped there. He took tremendous
amount of severe punishment from
Roundtree and showed considerable
ring generalship when, In the eighth
round he saw the fight bound to-
wards decision for Roundtree and
came back in time to force the fight to
q draw. Rouhdfree had the science and
the weight to onset the seeming adj
vantage Walters had In height and
reach and after q round or two OF
dodging wild swings and avoiding be-
lated upper cuts Roundtree had the
fight hts own way. Walters respond
gamely to the ehtreaties OF his artil-
lefy hackers and made q game fin
ish' but the consensus Of the fans,s OPP
inion here Is tnat Walters would have
been down and out had the fight gone
two rounds longer, Walters INDUCED
In some dirty tactics in the fourth
round which sent his stock to the
bad with the local fans when Major
Butts decision In elevating the hands
OF both men was not d popular one,
but 1t was undoubtedly fair and Wal
tiers scored heavily by his recovery Id
the later rounds. Walters did not ex-
hibit nearly the knowledge Of the
game that he has shown in his train
ing bouts and was Wider than any
fighter seen here III many months.
The final bout was a surprise to
the fans because of the absence Of
the old-time ginger that Donovan has
had In his other appearances and
Carlin's improvement was nothing
short of remarkable He fought more
on the offensive than before and no.
one was more surprised than Dono-
van at the adoption Of Don6van's own
tactics. The opening round was
about even but Carlifi,s aggressive
fighting from the second round on
paving the way to an early victory.
The knockout came early III the fourth
with right crop to Donovan's neck,
following close after q short right
jab to the solor plexus.t Donovan
started to rise at the fifth second only
to roll over for the full count. This
fight marks the passing from the
ring, for a time at least, of the favor
lite soldier fighter on the island.
Charlie Reilly helped Carlin to get
Donovan unquestfonably. The fans
hope to see Bill go into retirement
for while and put on some flesh, get
into first class condition and come
back with manager who will use
some Judgment in handling htm and
make him keep within his weight. 81
The faster of the two preliminaries
was the mill between Silling OF the
hospital corps and 1st infantry ia
vorite, Stout
Silling put up hard fight several
months ago that ended in a draw aft
er the hospital corps man had taken a
severe drubbing, and the fans were!
hardly prepared to see him show such
form as he offered last night He has
been training under Sergeant Stone of
the cavalry, who can box-if he can't
light any more-and Selling looks like
4 coming post favorite.; He put Stout
away in the fifth, the knockout ending
4 furious succession of blows to face
and neck. The feature of Settings
work was his ,countering and the man
ler in which he followed up every
opening.
Pinkey Pastori performed for four
rounds with Kid Stevens, which went
to draw in the fourth round. Pinkey
has his usual speed but he had no
hing that even looked like punch. |
A large crowd from the brigade camp
and from Honolulu attended and more
han the usual amount ofsenthusiasm
