PLEASING T0FANS
AIexandrian's Fine Showing
Indicates More Chance
for Local Talent.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

~ employing 4uucT AIcld dS
~ q laboratory to develop fistic
4 a fnesse, faces Washington S
pugilistic public as result of its ap-
proval Of that policy last night when
Buddy Scott. transplanted Oklahoma
lght-heavyweight, and Hobo Williams,
rugged Alexandria clouter. battled to
o blistering draw before a near
capacity crowd of 1923 spectators.
With q lamentable lack Of Local
talent now welding gloves, the Dis
trict's rather anemic fight center will
be used as a cauliflower crucible, into
which will be poured heterogeneous
mixture Of promising youngsters, with
the fond hope that at least few OF
them will display enough cranium-
cracking ability to warrant future fea-
ture billing here.
Whether local larrup lovers will
choke on that diet remains to be dis
covered, but at least the idea deserves
a trial There was no undue enthu-
siasm expressed by ringworms when
Jimmy Lake announced next weeks
card, which will be somewhat on the
same order, but nevertheless fistic fans
apparently will thrive on that type OF
show, at least temporarily.
Of course, the proposition probably
will click only for few weeks but in
the meantime dual purpose will have
been served by sacrificing science fol-
first -class brawling. Talent undoubt-
edly will be developed, and, then again
the margin of profit of Messrs. Turner
and Ahearn will be increased con-
siderably.
Club Fighters Pleasing.
DERHAPS it is a bit ironic that 9
= city of this size is forced to go or
q small-time boxing basis, but If il
means a continuation of the rather
refreshing scraps last night, you might
. risk a few potatoes that Ahearn'!
theory will prove popular.
Scott failed to win for the first time
In his brief career of 20 professional
arguments. but the lanky Georg'
Washington University student i'm
pressed with his ability to absorb solit
smacks as well as demonstrate th'
effectiveness of a potent right paw.
Referee Denny Hughes and Judge
Charley Dunn voted the bout draw
while Judge 0. U. Singer thought Will
liams the winner The Stars score
= sheet showed Scott in front by ont
point, with four rounds awarded tx
Buddy, three to Hobo and one even.
Buddy captured the first round b!
poking lefts to the head and connect
ing with two persuasive rights to tht
Jaw as Williams sought vainly II
counter with midsection attack. Ths
tattoed Hobo shifted to the head in the
second session, catching Scott with q
succession Of lefts before Buddy re-
Gponded with terrific right to the
chin that backed Williams to the ropes
Scott again took the lead in the third
/. eanto when he sandwiched a neat
right to Hobo's bobbing noggin be-
tween three damaging left hooks tc
the face. Williams, wild in the third
round, found the range early in the
fourth, cracking Buddy with sharp
thrusts to the head. Scott rallied
however, to earn an even round when
he bounced a Furnishing right off Ho-
bo's left eye to draw blood.
Scott Scores With Lefts.
BUDDY gave his slightly muscle
bound foe a neat boxing lesson in
the fifth frame, fiicking lefts to the
face with an accuracy that belied his
comparative inexperience. Williams
retaliated in the sixth and seventh
sessions, however when he chopped
q right to Buddy's jaw early in the
sixth and followed with a play to the
body as Scott lost his head momen-
tarily.
The aggressive Hobo's rush for
Buddy in the eighth round was stopped
abruptly with singing left to the
jaw. Buddy then exchanged a hard
left for an equally solid right before
ripping another hook to the chin.
A rematch is inevitable. Williams
wants a crack at Buddy over 10
round route on December Z.
Country Boy Baggett, who will step

week, spotted Jimmy Swimmer, Balti-
more heavyweight. 18 pounds and then
carved out a six-round decision victory
The Georgia mitten tosser was nicked
by the angular Swimmer in the third
round, but rallied to win easily.
In other six-rounders Sam Bacala,
Baltimore welterweight, trounced Tony
Amarosa of Richmond; Joe Temes out
pointed Billy Bullock in a lightweight
encounter, and Valenti Brown, Balti-
more hght-heavy, took an unpopular
decision over George Cox, former local
Golden Gloves champion. Cyclone
Sammy Williams captured four
round verdict over Kid Norfolk in a
colored middleweight engagement.
