JACKSON WINS
BY KNOCKOUT

LOS ANGELES, April II. U.P) =
A short, straight right travelling like
thunderbolt from the shoulder Of
Young Peter Jackson gave him a
knockout victory over Ceferino Gar
cha in the third round of sched-
uled 10-round engagement at the
Olympic last night.
The state welterWeight title
changed hands as Garcia hit the
floor for the count of 10 and re-
manned unconscious for several min
utes thereafter, SO great was the
force of the blow that caught him
flush on the jaw SIS seconds after
the third round opened.
Until that juncture, the Negro
slugger was trailing slightly. Super
ior punching gave Garcia the first
round when he landed several rights
and a left hook that staggered his
opponent. He again was piling up a
margin of points in the second until
the final seconds when he stopped a
right to the head. The blow marked
Jacksons opening attack. The Ne
gro required only the single blow in
the next heat to gain the knockout.
The bout was packed with action
from start to finish and the result
assured spectators of a rematch.
Jackson conceded the Filipino five
pounds, weighing in at 1877.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
By United Press

Free hitting in Pacific coast
league games to date began to
build up the conviction today that
the ball in use is livelier than last
year s.
In the four games played yester-
day, opening the second week of the
campaign, 80 hits we're spattered
over the ball lots by the eigLe
teams competing. Run scoring,
however, did not keep pace with
the hitting, as 35 men made the
circuit of bases and in one game
shutout was recorded. The first
weeks competition produced 518
hits, an average of about ID per
game.
Roy Henshaw, new Los Angeles
hurler, produced the shutout when
he held Hollywood to seven hits.
The Angels battered Frank Shell
lenback and Page for Is hits to
turn in an 30 victory in opening
the "civil war; series.
In the league IS other "civil war"
the San Francisco Missions drew
first blood with IA win over the
San Francisco Seals. A fruitful
fourth inning, which produced five
runs and finished Win Ballou,
gave the Reds and Hollis Thurston
the victory.
The two games broke the exist
ing tie for first place and left Los
Angeles sole occupant of the top,
with the Seals dropped to second.
Seattle started the week with a
Ga win over Oakland. Rallies in
the first and second innings, at the
expense of Glen Gabler, gave the
Indians five runs, enough to win.
Portland too got off to flying
start by humbling Sacramento by
a Al score in a duel between Tur-
pin of the Beavers and Koupal, a
former team-mate.

SOMEWHERE IN NEW YORK
STATE, April 1.-THE old fellow
asked me if 1 had ever seen a cock
fight, and 1 said no, and he said
would you like to, and I said yes,
so we got in car, drove better'n
200 miles upstate, meandered in and
out of the side streets in sorry
section of a small town, and final
ly pulled up in front of cheap
beer and hamburg joint.
We walked up to the door, an iron
grill snapped back, and somebody
gave us the eye. The hamburg
joint, which was just a front for
the arena in the back, was mad
house. There were 400 men and only
room for half that number. You
never saw such a collection in your
life, buns, rich guys, old bearded
fellows and kids who hadn't ever
handled a razor. 1t was worse than
the 5 o'clock rush on the Bronx
subway.
We nudged our way past the bar,
which served straight applejack and
nothing else, and through a door
into the battle-ground. 1t was some
thing straight out of the Police
Gazette. Rising almost perpendicu-
lar in the dirty, little room was a
porridge- bowl of a white-washed
,grandstand, whose top seats were
so high their occupants all but

From the cobwebby rafters hung
two kerosene lamps whose pale light
barely held its own with the smoke
Down in the center was the pit
1t was about II feet across and en-
closed by solid fence about three
feet high. The pit was covered in
tanbark, stained dark with blood
You never heard such an unholy
din! Everybody in the place, and
every inch of the 200 seats was
wedged tight with men-seemed tC
be yelling for bet.
Betting Is Heavy

1.-TWO hundred on the red 'un"
II got fifty says the gray one
ticks him!"
II got hundred says he don't"
Then they brought in the frs,
pair of cocks, slick red one with g
ruff of yellow feathers round his
neck, and long-legged gray fell
low. They put them on the scales
and their weights were announced
four pounds six ounces for the red
four pounds eight ounces for the
gray gamester.
Their handlers held them while
the referee laced on the gaffs =
wicked, curved, steel barbs an incl

mounted on leather cuffs, which
were strapped on the cocks JUS
above their own spurs.
The referee stepped back and the
handlers walked to the center o.
the pit and, holding their fighters
at arms length rubbed their head,

stood there, straining to break loose

fore the chocks are removed.
Then they let 'em loose and they
went together with a wild, fierce

age, lightning fast slashes with
their gaffs.
