Mack Given Decision
Over Harry Wills

Young Harry Wills, hardhitting
| colored weller who halls from San
Diego spotted Freddie Mack, Sc
attle's scrappy mitman seven pounds
in the wind-up bout last Tuesday
night at the Crystal Pool and for
four rounds made the going miser-
able for his white opponent. Wills
VINO has been seeing plenty of ac-
ton lately went after his foe in
hammer and tongs fashion, but he
found in Mack rugged warrior who
both took and gave. The method
IN which these two gladiators started
off assured the highly partisan spec
tators that they were in for a battle
royal. There wasn't a dull mo-
ment in the entire struggle and the
labid fans were standing roofing
like mad. Wills won the first four
rounds by a wide margin. In the
very first round he sent Mack TO
the ropes with a wicked left that
would have dismissed proceedings
then and there if it had landed flush.
Mack came back strong in the sec
ond but slowed up after running in
to several hard rights and lefts de-
livered by Wills to the white bows
head and body. The third round
was fairly even with Wills having
slight margin. Wills took the fourth
with plenty to spare. He stung
Mack several times with hard right
swings and left jabs.
In the fifth Mack changed his tao
ties, instead of staying back he be-
gan to bob and duck around never |
giving Wills a chance to set for a |
hard punch. Toward the last of the |
round Mack suddenly let go with q |
hard right swing that landed flush I
on Wills jaw and the colored boy
went down. He took a count of /
eight and on getting up went into /
a clinch, until the bell sounded.
The final round saw both fighters
showing plenty of action with Mack /
having the better of the argument,
When the smoke of the battle cleared
the referee gave the decision to
Mack which pleased the majority of
the fans who for some reason seem
to dislike Wills. /
The colored fighter thought the
worst he should have received was
. draw and minced no words in saw
ing so.
In the other bouts Charley o.
Leary defeated Young Farrell in six
rounds. Billy McBeigh and Jimmy
Driscoll went four rounds for
lraw. Willard Dix got the nod over
Jimmy McDermott. Fat Geysel beat
Casey Reed. Wills was the only
,olored fighter on the card which
vas staged by Nate Druxman and
Toe Waterman of the National Ath-
etc Club.

DR.. Ramirez Reported
Slated for Ministry

Reports current in Pan.American
circles here today said DR.. Juan ".
Ramirez, charge d'affaires ad
interim of the legation of Paraguay,
may be raised to the rank Of minis
ter in the near future.
DR.. Ramirez has held his present
post since September, 1925, when he
succeeded DR.. Eusibio Ayala, who
had been minister here. It will be
recalled that both DIR. Ayala and his
predecessor, Minister Manuel Con-
dra. had served terms as presidents
of Paraguay.
DR.. Ramirez, an exception to this
policy of the South American repub-
lie, has. nevertheless, held important
diplomatic posts. Before coming to
the United States he acted as charge
d'affaires of his country's mission
at Lima, Peru.
