KANGAROO JOE GETS
ANOTHER BIG BOY

Once more Joe Mandot got the decis-
ion over bigger man, when he slipped
a nice lacing to Al Remy of Hollywood
in the main event at Brawley last night.
1t is amusing to see good fighters come
down from the coast to stack up against
Joe, have a good laugh to themselves
over his size and appearance, and then
wonder what caused it all when the
referee gives them the tail end of the
decision
Joe gave away six pounds to Remy
last night, also considerable height and
reach, yet had him groggy several
times in the last two rounds, though the
boy from upstate was tough enough to
weather it through and stay on his
feet Remy showed a pretty good right
which he tried to use again and again
only to find Mandot had sneaked out
of it and was beating a tattoo on his
head or ribs. For infighting, Mandot
is hard to beat, and that crouch with
his arms protecting his head gives him
opportunity for a breathing spell when
the going gets rough, even though his
opponent may be hammering away at
him.
Joe Shows More Glass
Joe is gradually eliminating his
"kangaroo' steps, and the habit OF
sticking out his jaw inviting a punch,
and shows little more class each time
The first round was pretty even, but
the other three were Mandot IS all tie
way.
Kid Mex of Ell Centre put up nice
fight against Young Sol of Los Angeles
and led in all four rounds, getting the
decision with ease. The Kid was not in
the best of condition, but he outgener-
aled and outfought his man. Mex work
ed hard to put him away but seemed to
lack sufficient force behind his blows.
At the finish, the Kid was tired from
pounding on the boy from Los Angeles.
In the first event, Kid Joe of Braw-
ley demonstrated that there are few
men in these parts who can stay with
him, getting the decision over "The
Rabbit from FL Centre, when tha
latter's seconds threw in a towel near
Imperial Valley press., 1922-07-07

the end Of the second round. From the
jump off at the clang of the bell, it
was Joe's fight and he had "Rabbit -
reeling at the end of the first round. in
the second, all the FL Centre boy could
do was attempt to clinch, but he had
little success, Joe sliding out and rain
ing powerful blows at will ON his OPP
ponent He scored two clean knock
downs, the towel coming in with "Rab.
bit" on the floor unable to continue.
Referee Demands More Gore
Excitement broke loose in the crowd
when the referee, Joe Pico, refused TO
accept the towel as token of defeat,
and chased "Rabbit 's'' seconds from
the ring, when they went to assist their
man. According to Hoyle, the towel
means defeat, regardless of whether the
referee wishes to accept it or not, AMI
the action of the fighters seconds in ell
tering the ring disqualified their man
anyhow.
Pico gave as reason for his action
after the fight, a peculiar notion that
Rabbit" was "laying down" If he
thought that he should have chased him
from the ring. When referees start
making rules to suit themselves, it will
be time to ring the last bell. No crowd
of fans want to see beaten man ham
mered into sausage. That is one of
the important reasons for having ref
cree in the ring. He is there as judge
and not as boss butcher.
A large crowd saw the fights, includ-
ing considerable number of fair sex,
many of the latter proving by their
roofing, that they can become just as
excited over boxing match as any
mere man.
