DAVID RECEIVES
SOUND T'R0UNCINC
FROM KID PONCE
BY JIMMY GREENE

Young David came back to the
wars last night, determined to show
the fans that his poor showing
against Santiago Gorilla was most
ly accidental, and SO minutes after
he entered the ring Young David
left it badly beaten little Fill
pino, who had stood up under
sound trouncing given him by
bottle of quicksilver.
The quicksilver went into The ring
,under the name of Victor Ponce,
but he was bottle of quicksilver
just the same.
During the 10 rounds they bat
tied Young David stopped more
blows than the new tax measures
will have enemies and the best that
, can be said about him is that he
is one game little man, who re-
fused to quit, took everything that
was handed him and continually
kept coming in for more.
Ponce could not knock him out,
but he hooked and cuffed, jabbed
and jolted the little Filipino, at
times spinning him around with
the force of short. jerky blows that
| seemed certain TO crash David tc
the floor.
Just why this boy Ponce should
be out Of the big shots at coast
arenas, is something difficult to
understand. At defense he Is
marvel, forcing David to miss by
a mile or by a gnat's eyelash, just
as he wished He made the local
boy look silly as David sought to
put one over on him and even
/ David was forced 70 grin several
times at his own helplessness.
The boys set a furious pace for
| the first three rounds, and then let
up bit until the final cantos when
the going was plenty fast and as
furious as the first three had been.
| But not once was Ponce in diff
Guilty and his calmness remained
unruffled, even when David was
busier than a humble bee, buzzlng
around for shot that never came.
Kid Mack may be big shot in
Denver, but in his 10 round bout
with Ramon Montoya last night he
saw more gloves than there are
! Democrats in the south and he also
! took a nice pasting, Mcntoya sur
prising everyone, even himself, by
half showing and half jolting Mack
to the floor in the third round.
Mack had a big advantage in
height and reach but that was not
any help for Montoya stayed right
on top of him all the time and for
the greater part of the fight Mack
gave a fine exhibition Of hanging
on. Although Ramon never did
have a punch. his habit Of throw
| ing gloves can keep an opponent
| lust as worried es though he feared
a haymaker and that is what hap
pened to Mack. He was too busy
avoiding gloves TO do anything
| else.
First Bout Good
Montoya won, and hands down.
He may have gone back some, but
the little Brawley boy can still
travel at fast clip and he is SO
chuck full of experience that he
can take good care of himself no
matter whom he may face IN the
, ring.
The first of three 10 FOUNDERS
proved, after all, to be about the
most interesting. Two green little
! fellows, Pepy Sanchez and Babe
Mcintyre, went the route and
though they were a tired pair of
hombres along toward the end,
they had enough left for good
finish.
Mcintyre, billed as an Irish-Fil-
ipino. has the most awkward style
seen here in many moon. San
chez showed earmarks OF being
good little man and against an or
thodox fighter would have made
much better showing. He has
sweet left, at times hooking with
it and again jabbing. Mcintyre,
fighting flat-footed, tries to rush
but does something more like a
combination high jump and run
ming broad jump, to get in close to
his man.
Sanchez won the bout and won
it handily, Mcintyre losing couple
of rounds by low blows. His work
generally wes Of the rough sort
and he had Bill Tackett keeping a
close watch on him the greater
part of the bout. Mcintyre also
kept on eye on Bill and Sanchez |
was not slow to take advantage of |
this opportunity.
Goldie Hess was announced as |
booked to meet Ponce in the main |
event next week and whether he |
wins, loses or draws, Mr.. Hess ought !
to be in for a busy night, based |
on what Ponce showed last night |
