in = bobtailed card of three bouts
at the arena last night, and got
their moneys worth of scrapping
while the show lasted. II was ladies'
night. the last time during the pres
ent elimination championship con
test, and the fair fans were there
in force.
The special bout scheduled be-
tween Battling Doty and Harry
Jennings, was called off as one OF
the scrappers had not received his
license in time to go on and a
substitute could not be picked up
at the moment. The three events
which were fought resulted in a
knockout, II decision, while the
main event went to Jimmy Black
on foul. This decision did not at
all meet with the approval of the
fans, but Referee Bill Tackett could
only call them as he saw them, and
after an examination of the color
ed scrapper, there was nothing to
do but give him the decision.
This 10 round main event, the
third in the series of the feather
weight elimination contest for the
championship of Southern Califor-
MIA and Arizona, was between Ben
ny (Kid) Carter, of Phoenix, and
jimmy Black, San Bernardino, the
only colorcd fighter in the contest,
while Carter is Arizona's sole rep
rescntative. Both are clever fight
ers and know what it is all about.
Consequently they put up good
fight for the fans, Carter aiming
his blows at Blacks stomach and
head, while Black kept up a con
slant tattoo of blows over the Kids
kidneys and left jabs to the face.
Carter had the reach, but Black
was stockier and showed his abil-
ity to take as well as give. In the
opening session, Jimmy kept the
Kid busy covering up against left
lab to the face which he threw
at him constantly. Carter was no
slouch at using the old south flip
per and crossed this with hard
rights to the head and stomach,
most of the latter however, being
blocked by Black.
In the second round, the bout was
stopped for moment as Carter was
hit a triflc low. Benny however,
stated he was ready to go ON with
the fight and forced his opponent
around the ring with several stiff
rights and lefts to the head. All
through the round, Jimmy kept at
his opponents side, trying for the
kidneys with that left .jab to the
face alternating.
Some real smuggling was uncorked
in the third frame. Both scrap
pers used their lefts to good ad-
vantage and then Jimmy stagger'
ed Carter with hard right to
the face but the Arizona boy came
right back and gave Jimmy dose
of his own medicine. At the end
of the round, Jimmy got Carter
against the ropes and pasted him
plenty.
The Kid got away and was fight
ing hard at the bell, having missed
a splendid opportunity to take his
man when the latter left himself
wide open. The next round was Il
repetition of the third. Both bo.'s
slugged it out bit and then took
to clinching and covering up. A
couple of seemingly low blows were
caught, and in the break-aways it
was noticed that Jimmy hccled his
opponent several times while both
of them held when good opportn-
nifty presented itself.
Carter was missing too many
blows last night to do himself much
good. His uppercuts, especially,
were ill-timcd and Jimmy would
Just duck to side or weave in and
out to make the Kid miss COM
pletely.
In the fifth round the boys mill
ed, slugging each other as hard as
they could, and just before the bell
rang for the end of the round,
Jimmy went down from what look
ed like terrific belt to the stom-
ach. He claimed foul, and upon ex-
animation, Bill Tackett upheld the
claim and gave Black the decision.
Loud and many boos greeted this
decision, but it stood.
Young David, who made such q
hit with local fans by his fight
against Lorenzo Reyes last week,
took on Battling Chico of Los An
gcles in the siX-round scmi-windnp
and slipped him the kayo in the
fifth round. David had it all over
his lankier opponent from start to
finish but had hard time getting
over the finishing punch. lie had
Chico goofy from the second round
on and almost out on his feet. In
spite of this the battling boy was
always dangerous and when David
was inclined to be the least bit care
less, stiff right to the face would
show him that he had to be more
careful. Chico was on the floor
for an eight coun, III the third
frame and was practically out at
the bell, but kept right at it until
the final, hanging on when he GOT
chance while David kept at him re-
lcntlessly.
Della Fuente and Pclino Kilat
furnished the excitement for the
prelim which was won by Kilat The
boy had no punch but he put
Fuonte on the floor twice, once for
"A count of seven in the second
frame and again for two in the
third. They slugged it out, toe to
toe, and Pelino had F'ucnte's side
looking like raw steak from re-
pcated punches over the kidney.
