SUTHRO LOST ON POINTS
in GLOVE SHOW; NACKARD
AND WILSON SHOW CLASS

The humdinger fight put on be-
tween Jack Wilson of Teachers coli
lege and Fred Nackard of Flagstaff
high school Friday night redeemed the
whole show and sent the fans, who
had more or less patiently waited
through numerous long delays away
feeling that they had their moneys
worth.
This scrap was carded as the semi
final, but it came last. 1t was for
six rounds and was one of the fastest
and cleanest ever seen here. Mack
ard weighed 152 pounds and Wilson
$50. They snapped into it all the way
and at times the ring wasn't large
enough. Nackard slipped through the
ropes a short time after he'd slammed
Wilson up against them with a hard
one to the face Nor were acrobatics
entirely overlooked, as when Wilson
fell head first over the crouching
Nackard who, as he raised, reversed
ends with Jack, who had to put down
his hands to prevent boring the floor
with his head.
The willingness and skill Of the
boys and the sportsmanlike conduct of
both won the hearty applause Of the
crowd. Wilson had shade the best
of three rounds and Nackard of the
other three, and Referee Bette
Mackey rightly declared it draw.
The main scrap, between Ray Kid
Suthro, 142 pounds, of Flagstaff, and
Jack Regan (Riggio), 130 pounds, of
Dallas, was delayed because Suthro
claimed he had been promised hum
dred dollars, win, lose or draw and he
thought he wasn't going to get it. He
got it after a while. Suthro wasn't
in the best condition and it was
patent during the earlier rounds that
he was staying away from Regan
pretty much. The latter displayed
the more science and did most Of the
leading pretty we'll through the fight,
getting the best in the exchange i'll
all the rounds but three, two of which
were even. In one round only did
Suthro outclass his lighter opponent
lin the sixth, when Regan was part
" pushed to the floor and stayed
down until the count of nine, immed-
lately thereafter voluntarily going
down three more times for rests
while the referee counted.
1t is a question whether, if Suthro
had forced the fighting from the first
he might not have worn down and
beaten Regain But he didn't and
Regan was awarded the fight on
points. An amusing feature of this
bout was that though the men were
carded for eight rounds, in the gem
~ c-t
track and it went to nine rounds.
Young Monte, Flagstaff, 120
pounds, quit in the second round of
his four round affair with Kickie
Williams, 1872 pounds, Flagstaff. The
boys were milling very satisfactorily
and were on an even basis as to points
when Monte sprained his right thumb
and the bout was awarded to Kiclie.
Milo LeBaron, 130 pounds, and
Buster Raudebaugh, 120 pounds, both
Flagstaff high school lads, fought
fast throughout their four rounds.
Milo's advantage in weight and hit
ting power were too much for the
gamey Buster and he was given the
decision on points, having accumu
lated an edge in every round.
Phil Hollingsworth, announced as
''I1ish Sinner from Slough" and Joe
LaScala, under the cognomen Of "Kid
Spaghetti from Palermo" put on
burlesque that made the youngsters
laugh.
The bouts were at the armory and
there was a fair turnout in spite of
weather. Some of the cars had
hard time getting away through the
mud at the bottom of the hill
Mr. Lynch of Teachers college was
announcer.
