LA BARBA- -MASTRO
BATTLE TO DRAW
In GREAT FICH I
Ringside Observers Claim
Decision Break" For
Chicago Boy.
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Fidel La Bar
ha of California, former world fly
weight champion. and Earl Mastro,
Youthful Chicago slugger, loomcd
today rs formidable rivals for
Fcathcrweight Champion Bat Batta-
limo. and Kid Chocolate, "uncrowncd
king" of the 126-pound division.
Although unable to decide the
question of personal superiority in
three bouts-thc third of which re-
suited in a draw decision at Chicago
stadium last night-both fighters
lave established their claims to the
championship consideration.
La Barba and Mastro put up = great
fight in their third meeting, bat the
decision left them all even after 80
ounds of boxing. each having won
enc of their previous gCmontS.
The draw verdict proved popular
with the 12,430 fans who paid S33,-
1861 to witness the bout. But in
the opinion of ringside observers it
was a decided "'break' for the Chi
Cago boy.
La Barba and Mastr0 pat UP great
decision on the basis of his aggres-
siveness. superior infighting and
harder punching. Nastro failed to
land a single right hand punch in
the first four rounds and was out
classed until his late rally.
Mastro was hit low in the third
round and for the balance eff the
bout claimed foul everytime he was
hit in the body. After the fight he
displayed a cut and several bruises
below the groin to support his con
tention of foul punching and claimed
the low blows weakened him SO that
he was unable TO give his best ef-
forts until late in the fight.
Referee Collins refused to allow
Mastro's claims and issued only one
warning to La Barba, but the foul
claims apparently swayed the Off
cials in the decision, although the
fans expressed disapproval OF Mas
tro s complaints by booing.
La Barba was pleased with his
showing. - proved that Mastro 5
victory in our last bout was an ac-
cident and now l IN on the road to
a second title,' he said.

There were no knockdowns. but both

1t was a ease of a rushing, tear

Berg, outweighing Chocolate 153 4

Of Two Years Ago

WALLA WALLA, Wash, Sept. IL.
-tRJ-Archie I. Mock Of Spokane,
was executed at the state peniten-
tiary here today for the murder two
years ago Of Mrs. Catherine Clark,
who came here from Boston In
response to letters promising mar
riage.
MrC. Clark was killed III the
woods nea Spokane with a Ratchet
two years ago. Evidence at Moock's
trial indicated she was induced to
come west through several letters
signed Murphy"
Letters, clothing and money found
at Moock's home provided the
principal links In the chain OF
circumstantial evidence which led
to his conviction. Mock claimed
Murphy" actually existed and
that he himself was a victim of
circumstances. Several thousand
persons in Spokane signed a petit
tino asking Moockss sentence be
changed to life imprisonment.
Mrs. Tenna Mock, the condemn
ed mans wife. was with him in the
death cen the last few hours Of his
life.
