Arizona republican., 1922-05-31

weathered through six rounds of gore
and anguish.
Happy floored Sherman for the
count of nine in the fourth round
with every indication that Sammy
would stay down for the full count,
but Sam crossed the boys by regain
ing his feet and he stood in the CEN
ter of the ring for fully 80 seconds
while Happy pounded his face with
both hands. Sam was all in at the
bell and went to his corner grogsy
but he came out in the fifth and was
still fighting in the sixth. His ef
forts in the last session were frail
and Happy had gore spouting from
his face. Sam shot feeble right 10
Happy's face and the Tucson knock
out king cut loose with both hands.
There was no reason why Sherman
didn't go down with Woods slani-
ming him flush in his blood -spattered
face. He rested against the ropes
helpless waiting for Happy to put
over the finishing punch when the
bell rang. He was completely out on
his feet and did not come back to
earth for 20 minutes after the bout
ended
Sherman displayed a wonderful
courage and stamina against the
known punch of the Tucson boy
Happy showed a wonderful i'm
provement over his last appearance
here and he is entitled to another
bout in this city. He is the kind of
a miller who takes with the crowd
and Happy can fight.
Mike Drops Brown
Mike Doyle repeated for the third
time last night, dropping Soldier
Brown for the full count in the third
round of scheduled four-round cur
tain raiser that put the fans on their
feet and started the evening off
right.
Brown, as usual, showed great
form in the first round and beat Mike
by safe margin. He was taking
Mikes punches and landing many on
his own account. He crossed his
right with telling effect not less than
six times in the opening round and
slugged with Mike in the center OF
the ring. The fans were just begin
ming to figure that Brown was at last
showing his real form and the eX-
citement reached high ebb.
But clouds began to roll in the
second round when Mike staggered
Brown with a stiff right flus- on the
jaw Brown shook his head and his
supporters We're hopeful, but a left
to the pit of the stomach followed by
right to the jaw dropped him fol-
the count of nine. Brown regaine6
his feet and went into a clinch. They
broke and Mike played one, two tc
the stomach and jaw again an6
Brown hit the canvas with a thud
The bell sounded before count ans
Browns seconds carried him to his
corner.
Brown came out fighting in tn,
| third and landed a right cross tc
Mikes jaw. Mike lowered Brown or
| the ropes and Brown slipped to tn,
| floor. When he regained his fee
| Mike was ION him like a, tiger show
ering hard rights and lefts to the
| head Brown took a flow of blow:
| and came back fighting with the fan:
! crying for him to cover up. There
| was no covering under Mixes attacl
| and short right hook to the jaw
| sent Brown down for the full coun
| and the first number of an all-stal
| card came to an end.
| Mike showed his old time form ant
| the fans feel the local pride is due fol
! long siege of wins. His punch wa;
| effective and his style of battling
was the same as of old.
| The curtain raiser was a fitting
| number for the evenings show will
/ the two best local bets fighting of
an old score. 1t made hit with th'
fans, even though it did not witt
