The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-12-11


and his famous sweater.
ence but hampered by lack Of recent
professional ring experience and
slowed up by rapidly failing energy,
succeeded in getting away from only
the first Of WOmack's determined
rushes. Driven to the ropes near a
corner, he ducked to avoid a snappy
hook to the jaw and plunged into a
stiff uppercut to the solar plexus,
which stretched him helpless upon the
floor. The ending was So sudden
and decisive that the fans could hard
ly realize the bout was over. "Scot-
ty" accepted his defeat philosophical
ly, later admitting that his condition
was not of the best. However, that
in nowise detracts from the showing
made by Womack, that tough and
hard-hitting lad being at the end Of
the fight in fine fettle and able tt
keep up the pace for many rounds
more.
Mere Punching Bag
The s~emi-windup was a big disap-
pointment, but no one blames the pro-
motor for it. Carlson in his previous
appearance at Manhattan had SO de-
cisively defeated a BOzeman boxer,
and showed such promise that he was
expected to make a splendid show
ing. AS a matter of fact, he proved
a mere punching bag for Wine who,
after feeling him out in the first
round, punished him numerically in
the second. Carlson was weak and
unsteady when he came up for the
third, and after he had been battered
from pillar to post and was virtually
defenseless, his seconds threw a
towel into the ring to save him from
further punishment. Wines best
blow was a wicked overland right to
the head, and Carlson was not able
to block or dodge one of them. Wine
is a stocky lad and a fast fighter
with a wicked punch in either hand.
AS a possible opponent for Womack,
however, he lacks ring experience. He
might prove a formidable foe later
on.
Real Lively GO
Of the preliminaries, the go be-
tween Warwood and Muchow was the
best. Both forced the issue ~viciously,
and both took a great deal of punish
ment. Warwook suffered a broken
nose early in the fight, while Mu-
chow took several hard ones on the
nose and month, and gore in copious
quantities was soon in evidence. The
draw decision was popular, but opin-
ion is that MuchOw was rapidly weak
ening and could not have lasted ever
another round or two.
Jules Benton, M. S. c. student and
all-rOund athlete, dropped Durder
six times for a knockout in the first
round. Jules showed considerable
science, much speed, and solid hitting
ability. While burden was outclass.
