East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-07-06

Wonderful Speed and Cleverness
over His Opponent-Nlnth Round
Spells the End.
Bud Anderson the Vancouver fight
er who only short time since was
the sensation of the lightweight divi-
sion, last night saw his vision of a
comeback vanish when, in the 14th
round of a scheduled 20 round bout,
he succumbed to the terrific blows
rained upon him by George Ingle,
the clever Seattle boy who is an
ironworker when he isn't fighting,
Anderson was not counted out but
he was so apparently all in that his
seconds tossed in the sponge to save
him further punishment.
1t was Ingle's fight from the very
first round though the crowd was
not sure of that fact so early. The
Seattle boy was doing all of the land
ing but many entertained the opin-
ion that Anderson was only playing a
waiting game and was willing to stop
his opponents blows to get an oppor-
tunity to slip over a sleep producer.
As round followed round with the
advantage all with Ingle, Anderson
| friends lost hope and waited for the
end.
In the ninth round. the iroworker
sent Anderson to his knees with two
terrific smashes, one landing on An
derson's right optic and almost clos
ing it and the other catching him on
the point of the jaw. For the remain
der of the round Anderson was grog-
| gy and hung on desperately as In
| gle tried to finish him. During the
next four and a half rounds the one
time near-champion took an awful
beating but he was game from skin
1 to bone.
lngle is one of the cleverest fight
ers seen in action here for some time
and his exhibition last night won
him a host of friends among the fight
fans He is a two-fisted scrapper
with a crouch, reach and a guard
that make him extremely difficult to
| hit, The short-armed Anderson
could not reach him in straight-up
fighting and it is doubtful whether he
landed a clean blow save during the
mitigating when his jabs were inef-
! fective.
Ingle seemed able to hit his oppo-
nent almost at will and from the very
first rocked Anderson's head with
rights and lefts the one generally
following the other in one-two order.
The Seattle boy puts a great deal of
body into his blows and wastes little
energy in futile tapping Throughout
the fight he maintained a smiling
been as harmless as his fighting face
appeared, Anderson would have beer
in little danger.
Both boys fought with remarkable
cleanness both breaking at the cal
of the referee and neither taking al
unfair advantage. This won the ad
miration of the fans and moved Ref
cree Asa Thompson to make an an
nouncement after the fight to the eff
feet that he had never refereed 70
two cleaner fighters.
The fight started with Anderson
3 boring in despite the punches h.
stopped with his head. Throughou
0 the fight he kept advancing, evel
3 when battered and groggy. and hi
courage and willingness seemed to b
his chief asset. Bud was a ruling ia
vorite at the start doubtless becaus
0 of his reputation, but many Of tn
2 fans early swung to Ingle when the
noted his metal After the mint

l could hope for was that the bou
would go through the goth round
! Early in the 14th, Anderson was sen

at the count Of three, was rushe
l across the ring and knocked prom
l on his back by a right to the jaw H
was trying to get up when his second
threw in the sponge.
Two good prellminaries precede
2 the main bout The first betweel
Earl Snyder and Bill Sweeney put tn
fans in good voice. Sweeney starte

effective guard protecting himself an

: was on the defensive and in the flna
2 round Snyder had everything his ow
l way He started the claret flown
freely and had Sweeney reellng aroun

Pasco and scotty, two colored box

Q which ducking, footwork and facia
contortions were features. They step
