Littz in | Round

Despite ccnceding Red Turner

man toed in and fought aggressively
for six rounds and when the final
gong was rung was awarded a draw
by Referee Jack Sullivan, here Tues
day night on the main event Of a
boxing card staged at the Fort Brown
skating rink.
Turner, 1914 1-2 pounds, of Fort
Brown, had all the advantage in
height, reach and weight but seemed
disinclined to mix it up. He occa-
sionally set into Goodman who was
following him about the ring and
delivered several smacking blows
that gave much promise.
The bout opened slow with few
blows being passed as the two fight
ers felt each other out. In the next
round Goodman began leading and
carrying the fight TO Turner but the
big fiery-top was little concerned
and never quickened his pace nor the

gum. Turner's weight and reach
stoode out like a sore thumb in the
occasional flurries.
The bout continued in this fashion
until the fifth round when Goodman
was still leading but Red was land
ing a number of we'll aimed punches.
Bearing out the predicted "grudge"
fight, Red was scorning Goodman
and laughing at his efforts. The
last round was a duplicate Of the
previous stanZas.
The biggest surprise of the even
ing came when Kid Guerra, 1875
pounds, of San Benito, knocked out
Kid Ltitz. 1876, Of Fort Brown in the
first round. The soldier boy had
Guerra variously slated to be knock
ed out from the first round on but
the game little Mexican. much to the
establishment of all, turned the Ia
bles.
Guerra swsrmed out OF his corner
and was all over Littz with a hail of
blows before the soldier had squared
off. The San Benito boys opening
rush knocked both Of the battlers
from their feet. On their feet
again. Guerra began a second storm
Of blows. A number of stiff punch
es sunk under Littz's heart before
2 solid piston stroke IN the same
place sent him down for the count.
Joe Martinez, III pounds Of Mon
terrey. took a four round decision
from Young Parker. 142 pounds Of
Fort Brown. In the opening round

had felt the soldier out in the first
round and from then on out the
Mexican lad led the fight.
He delivered much punishment in
the clinches, slowing Parker down

the referee broke them often. The
fourth round was all Martinez.
Joe Marroquin. San Benito's f49

decision from Kid Pepper, 152 pounds
Of Machine Gun troop.

punches. He landed frequently IS

fast and furious IN the opening mir
utes and Zavala soon sunk to the
mat from q low blow. He did not
want the bout on a foul, however,
and rested several minutes and con-
tinued the fight. Zavala soon was
letting the bout come to him, landing
several blows as Lupe came in TO
press the fight. Lupe came out TO
win IN the third round and rushed
the soldier over the ring but his
rushes were not very effective. He
had Zavsla backing up but was
taking blows as he came in.
Referee Sullivan said in view of
Zsvala's game comeback and the fact
that Lupe had placed his gloves on
the mat at several times during the
bout. he awarded the bout to the
soldier.
Jack Sullivan and Roberto Hino-
josa went through a three-round ex-
hibition bout much to the amuse-
ment Of the crowd.
