INJURY HALTS
TOFT- AGUIRRE
BOUT IN SIXTH
By JIMMY GREENE

: hapS. TO see Pete loft and Sammy
Aguirre put on another fight las
night such as they did a week ago
and while last nights affair was ;
good battle it did not compare witt
/ their first appearance and endeC
unsatisfactory when Aguirre faileC
to come up for the seventh round
! loft getting the decision on tech
nieal Knockout.
, But Sammy had good reason fol
not coming up. Just at the clost
I of the sixth round the boys cracked
heads and a nasty cash laid Sam

bump on his bean the size of ar
egg. Aguirre slumped over double
and was helpless when the bell end
ed the round.
Bill Tackett inspected the cut
during the rest period and wisely
halted the scrap TO prevent poSsi-
BILE serious injury to Sammy.
loft showed much better than he
did last. week and had a fine lead
over Sammy when the battle end
ed Aguirre could not seem to get
going and he didn't know what to
do about Pete's left, which kept
plopping into his face with consid-
cradle frequency and considerable
force.
The boys started off cautiously in
the first round and the honors
were about even. Pete took the
second by his aggressiveness and
piled up a nice lead over Sammy
The latter came back to take the
third when he rocked Pete with
blows to the jaw and had him COW
ering up, not in any great danger
but taking no chances.
Pete forced the fighting the next
three rounds and took each of them
by enough margin to show no dis
pute. Sammy just wasn't getting
anywhere after that third round
and appeared to be all at sea. He
was fighting good scrap and
might have been hoping to tire out
the sailor, finished with a rally in
the last two rounds. AS things
turned out, if that was his plan
he waited a bit too long.
loft packs plenty of dynamite in
that left and his right is not full
Of love taps. Sammy can hit too
but why he didn't Go more of il

Armstrong Licked
Frankie West demonstrated be-
yond all possible doubt last night
that he carries too many guns fol

watermelons and the purse, if ad-
vance notices OF the winner take

Andy tried, and was in there
giving battle when the sixth round
ended, but he might as well have
been hitting at stone wall as pok-
ing at West, and there would have
been less danger for stone wal
can't hit back and West can.
It was Vests argument all the
way, with Andy doing his best
work in the first and fifth rounds
when he held things even. West
dumped him twice for no count ano
the colored boys best punches
didn't seem to bother him any.
Steven Ortega, substituting fol
Rush Tortolis, took the special
event from Vincent Solano on g
foul. We don't like to criticize g
boxer too severely, for things car
happen, but Solano certainly should
be set down hard for his work last
night. Coming after last weeks af-
fair when he repeatedly fouled his
man, the stuff he pulled last night
was mighty raw He had plenty
of caution from Tackett, who tolc
him several times to keep them up
He absolutely ignored the advice
We don't say his fouls are inten-
tional, but a boxer who can't gov
ern his blows any better than hi
can does not belong in the ring
/ Solano has ability. He can hit like
a mule and he doesn't have to re.
