/ hv won the fight on a foul. Much
discussion among the fans followed
tbis announcement. but there can be
no doubt as to the lowness of the
blow Several fans at the ringside
heard the impact of the blow and
when Tackett stopped the count, first
time he has ever done so, it was cV-
! ident that something ont of the or
dinarv had occurred. The blow it,
self was unintcntional and unavoid-
able and was brought about by KOS
ky's peculiar creuching, weaving
method of boring in.
Teddy had intended the wall0p for
the head lust as the sailor straight
ened up. Both boys showed plenty
of fight during the 3la rounds of
the affair. Teddy had the reach on
the sailor and smacked him about
the head plenty. Koskv is a dan
qerous fighter. crouching almost to
the floor. weaving in and getting I'M
der Teddv's reach to lambastc hin,
in the midriff He got over several
of these piledrivers which did not
help Palacios any at all and it was
only the latter's reach ard iabbing
left that kept him out of trouble.
The third round saw plenty of
wrestling and wild swings and the
bows hurt each other. Teddy by q
vicious wallop TO the head and Kos

RoSriguez Looks Good
The special event was to go four
POUNDS by Rcd Rodriguez of CalcX-
leo. slipped the X. o. to Andy Palma
Of Fresno in the third round and
that was that. Palma, nifty lit
tie southpaw scrapper, showed plen-
tv of pep ard scrap at the start. but
the Calexico boy who surprised ev-
ervone by his wonderful comeback,
waded right in and slammed Palma
all over tine ring, rocking him with
hard rights TO the head and finally
lust as minutes of the third frame
had passed, slipped him the haymak- !
or. right uppercut to the button.
He got quite hand when leaving
the ring.
In the preliminary, Frank Abedi-
no the Bouncing Bambino from Los
Angeles. chased II. Naples of Braw-
ley. all over the ring and won all
four heats of the race. Naples just
didn't seem to be able to do any
thing against his smaller opponent
who Jumped around, swinging mitts
in all directions, many of which
landed when he got close enough to
Naples to make them effective.
There was little comment on the
part of the fans when the smaller
mans hand was raised at the end OF
the scrap.
Between Rounds
4 very good attendance again
last night. Probably by now it is
becoming evident that the fans will
come ont if suitable card is ar
ranged for them, and not just for a
certain group.
Naples stood in his own corner in
the fourth round and let Abedinc
hit him with everything but the
posts. The little boy was trying
desperately for a k. o. and Naples
certainly stood plenty of pummcl
ing. He is a tough boy.
More booing again last night for
the defeated. Pretty hard to under
stand how game little scrapper
who loses must get til. razz every
time.
Abcdino seemed 20 be made Of
rubber the way he bounced about
the ring. He did not seem to havc
anything definite in view but would
just leave the floor with both arms
swinging and when he landed, a nice
red mark was the result
frankie got over couple of low
ones during the milling but not to
cause any serious damage. Naples
did not protest and so the scrap went
on. Abedino was 50 much smaller
than the Brawlcy boy that it was
hard sometimes - keep his mitts
where they belonged.
Palma sported beautiful shiner
under his left eve when he answered
the bell and Rodriguez aimed several
punches in the direction Of the
wounded glim which found their
mark. They did not help the Fres.
no boy anv. In the last round Of
this scrap Rod just poured il to him
with everything he had and Palma
could not stand up under such pun.
! isimcnt.
Pacho seemed to have hurt his
hand again when he kayocd Villa
Flor. He hit 50 hard in his scrap
with Bullahan here some time ago
that his trusty right was on the bum
| for some time afterward. Fans ar"
hoping it is nothing serious ard will
| not keep their idol OFT Of the ring
