Wildcat" Carter Defeats Micky DoIan

Leslie Wild Cat Carter won his
second match on his comeback tour
Wednesday night at the Seattle Crys-
tai Pool. defeating Mickey Dolan of
Portland. known as the Little Demp-
sey of the ring. Carter took the de-
cision after six fast rounds of mill
ing. 1t was a good bout and Carter
showed well. However, some of his
close friends experienced IN boxing
believed he should have stopped Do
Ian.
Dolan, stocky built chap, and
strong, bobbed and weaved, hurting
hooks and straight punches at Car
ter throughout, kept the Wild Cat
moving fast. Dolan connected with
several punches that carried consid-
cradle steam but they did not appear
to bother the Everett Flash. Carter
has always been cable" to take 'em.
What impressed boxing men most
with Carter's comeback was the
manner with which Leslie kept up
an incessant fire of left jabs that
were constantly landing on Dolan's
face. 1t was Carriers rapid left jabs
that won for him.
The boxing show Wednesday night
was very good. When it is consid-
cred that these boxing bouts are
staged at admission prices of SO
cents, rs cents and 81, it is indeed
remarkable what the Seattle pro-

Police Frame Girls
AT $500 A Head

NEW YORK,-How innocent col
ored women in Harlem were framed
on crime charges was revealed last
week at the departmental trial of
five white policemen. Five dollars
head whether he obtained real
evidence or not, was the price Chile
Mapocho Acuna, former Vice Squad
informer got for framing" women,
it was testified.
Taken Without Cause
Acuna outlined the circumstance
of arrests in which two or more of
the five patrolmen participated. Once
they arrested a colored girl with
whom he was talking in an apartment
house hallway, with no evidence at
all of an over act. The young wom-
an was Miss Bebe Lyon and she was
taken at % West 142nd Street.
In another case he revealed that
he and another informer were
pushed into" an apartment at Id
West bath Street by the vice squad
men and two colored women found
they were then arrested on the
ground that they had white men with
them. The victims in this case were
Misses Eva jackson and Alice Miller.
Wanted To Appear Big
The five men on trial are Lieut..
Peter j. Pfeiffer and Patrolmen Sid
ney TAFT, Eugene Baccaglini, Andrew
P. Stirnweiss and Michael j. Ken
nelly.
The idea of the arrest, it was re-
vealed, was for Acuna to get the
women in a comprising situation, ar
rest them and then receive "$5" for
his fine work" from the officers
making the arrest to magnify their
own records.
