Milo MAKES COB
CHAMP GO SOME
AT TULANE BOUTS

: Fight fans who missed last nlght
performance at the Tulane club, cheat
ed themselves out of the pleasure OF
watching three real fights, and one
which still could be coupted in when
reckoning up the thrills of the evening.
Don Davis, lightweight champion of
the Pacific fleet, came over here from
San Diego and took on Kid Milo Of
Mexicali, for the main go Of the eve
ming. This COB showed himself to be
pretty shifty bird, fast as lightning
when he got worked up, and willing
to mix it at all times. Milo was will
ing to fight at all times, while up
against faster man. All he had to
do to get a shower of lefts and rights,
was to land punch on some part Of
the sailor s anatomy, and the latter
would uncork his long range guns and
deck batteries, whereupon Milo was
wise enough to slide into clinch.
Milo showed he can hit when he
breaks through his opponents g guard,
and slipped over a good slam now and
then. The judges awarded the bout to
Davis, who was clearly entitled to 1t,
and the decision met with approval
from all except a few rabid rooters for
Milo from the other side of the line.
Kid Joe Gets His Beating
The long expected beating for Kid
Joe of Brawley came from San Diego
yesterday afternoon, neatly tied up in
fancy package in the person of Jap
Romero. The Kid has been knocking
them over like bunch of tenpins, and
the low down up in Brawley was to the
effect that he couldn't be licked DE

Last night he took few lessons in the
manly art, and when the session was
over, Joe was down on the floor, try
ing to bore his way through the canvas
with his nose. There is no getting away
from it, Joe has a wicked punch in
either mitt, but his habit Of flying in
to whale away with both hands, leaving
undoing and that is just what happen
ed last night. Romero studied his man
for the first round, and allowed him ia
do most of the leading, contenting him
self with slipping away from the hay
makers which the kid let loose. In the
second round Jap evidently decided af
fairs had gone far enough and it was
time to give Joe his present. While
swapping blows in a neutral corner
Jap slipped one to the boy from Braw-
ley which sent him through the ropes
and though he came back for more, he
was dead herring from that one
punch. He, managed to stay several
seconds longer, but a few more blows
to the head, and one right on top OF

he went down among the daisies afte,

Mandot Gets a Live One
Our friend Joe MandOt, who now
calls himself Battling Joe Mandot, mix
ed things up with Young Augarria, a
Filipino boy from San Diego. While
Joe is entitled to be known as Battling
it makes too long a name for a little
fellow like him, and we II call him Joe
This Augarria boy proved the Filipino.

of the fighting game from their old
Uncle Sam since they discarded the
bolo for five ounce gloves. Joe took
the decision, but he had to work all
the time to get it, and at times il

the crowd due to his snorting and blow.
ing. He took a bad chance once with
the old trick of sticking out his jaw,
but received orders from his corner to
cut it out, which was mighty good ad
vice, for it didn't pay to take chances
with this Augarria boy. There was con-
siderable infighting all through this
bout, which gave Joe opportunity to
pile up lead by using his gloves with
telling effect on the Filipino boy g
body. The latter showed some pretty
nice boxing and in the third round
caught Joe off balance with a blow
which sent him to the floor, but he was
up and at his man Immediately. 1t
probably was the best fight Of the
night, with action all the way from
start to finish.
Light Brown Boy There
The card opened with two colored
boys, Battling Sam and Battling John
son going at it again, and once more
johnson upheld the honor Of Eastside
and took the decision from the Brawley
boy. This 'Iight brown" of Jean Hud-
son Is is one shifty bird on his feet and
seems to get better each fight. As yet
he seems little slow about following
up his advantage after he connects with
his wicked right, which hops out and
back like snakes tongue, but with
proper coaching will probably overcome
this fault. Sam showed Willingness
to swap blows in the first two rounde,
but seemed to tire after that, and the
next two rounds were johnson g by a
mile. He practically had Sam out in
the fourth round, when time was call.

spell saved Sam from a certain X. o.
