Morgan Jones of Tacoma won on
points over Eddie Pinkman of Seattle
in the main bout at the smoker
staged by the Chelan County Athletic
Club last Friday evening. This was
the decision of Al Hoffman, referee
backed by others who sat at the ring
side, though scattered through the
crowd were several who protested
that Eddie should have been given
the decision. The match was very
close throughout. Each boxer had his
strong points. Pinkman seemed best
at rangy sparring, while Morgan was
best at close-in fighting

blow to head and neck. Jones fought
hard, but Eddie's longer reach enabled
him to stand Jones off. Eddie's round
by good margin.

changing blow for blow, and there
seemed to be no advantage.

vantage to either.

blows and an occasional punch to the
head.
Round 5. Pinkman was winded
