Draws Good Crowd
Lefty Chartrand Kos Punch
ing Pastor in First; Sunda
Is holder of Maui Graphing
Champ.
By L, r, l.,

Those doubtless sincere and well
intentioned persons who a short time
ago were putting forward the Punch
ing Pastor" as a likely contender in
the roped arena against Lefty"
Chartrand former cavalry lad, must
have changed their minds. Nor are
they likely to return to that idea since
Friday nights match and it's disas-
trous ending for their erstwhile favo-
rite. They would receive but scant
hearing.
The Pastor" was a game one all
admit, but he lacked about two feet
of being tall enough and his short
reach placed him at enormous disad-
vantage. Matched against a man of
the same build and weight, the"Pas-
tor" would no doubt live up to his
non de guerra and make a creditable
showing but Chartrand is clearly out
of his class. Besides this the loser
strove barefooted on a none too tight
canvas flooring. He deserves full
credit for entering the ring to fill in
The first round started with the
gong alright but no gong was needed
to end it. 1t didn't last that long
and the Pastor" wouldn't have heard
a second gong anyhow. On the break
Lefty" got in a short jab to the Pas
tors" head and then both scrappers
gave the crowd an imitation of the
highland fling for a few moments.
The Pastor" rushed and succeeded in
fitting C~hartrand's head with a fast
left followed with a short jab with
his right. Before he got away Chart.
rand drove a smashing left to the Fl.
lipino's head that sent him into the
ropes. The Pastor" was pretty
dizzy after that wallop and came out
into a clinch, meanwhile tapping
Lefty" gently on the back.
Referee Melancon broke the fight
ers and Lefty" used his right to
good advantage. 1t was the beginn-
ing of the end. A wicked right and
left sent the Pastor to the mat TAX
ing the count of five before he was
up again.
About a minute after the bell start.
ed the round Chartrand swung a right
to the jaw that knocked the Pastor
fiat and as he rose at the count of
eight another right laid him low, this
time for the count.
Young Dutro and "One round
Alexander next travelled haltingly
ove the three round distance. Alex
ander was all in after the first round
but he was a game youngster and
stuck it out the three. Dutro won
the decision by a shade.
Jack Dempsey" Kong, who mixed
with young" Gibbons in the semi
windup was completely outclassed in
every round. Gibbons too was very
nearly gone at the finish of the bout
and showed lack of training. He led
the fight all the way through however
and easily took the decision on points
kid" Sunda, the Japanese grappler
won the title of lightweight mat
champion of Maui over young Alas
ka". 1t was a good bout and reused
much enthusiasm from the fans that
lined the ringside. Things looked
about ripe for Alaska" when he Sc
cured a toe hold over his opponent
in the early part of the match. Sun
da's skill in the art got him out of
the bad hold and then he won easily
in two straight falls. The deadlock
was used by the champion. First
fall came in $50 and the second In
1920.
Fair Turnout
The smoker as an effort in revival
of the fistic sport may be voted a
success. The preliminaries kept the
crowd well amused and the better
bouts were well liked. Between a
hundred and one hundred and fifty
fight fans turned out to witness the
goes and Judging from remarks heard
at the door as they left the gym the
crowd was fairly well satisfied con
sidering that the time had for train
ing by the majority of the boys was
short.
Novices in PreIiminaries
The opener vas a three round go
between "Jawbone Wilson and
kid" Solmon as announced by tom
McCrary" Lewis. 1t would be difficult
to determine the class in which the
two youngsters were scrapping but
we presume 1t was a mosquito"
weight bout. Melancons verdict of a
draw vas popular with all the fans.
RED" Dutro and kid" Pete, in
the lis pound class, then staged a
four round orgy of feinting, clinching
with some fighting. Pete had the
best of it from the second round to
the finish and easily won the decision
Tomatsu secured a fall over Kid
Harry in the first wrestling 60 after
about Is minutes of graphing. He
used the body scissors and head lock.
