C h a m p onship Of the world
stretches before Bob Pastor,
Of New York, q rock strewn,
uphill trail. Based on his
showing against Buck Everett In
the ring at Turner's Arena last
night, Pastor needs q lot Of school,
ing. He won a 10-round decision
over the battle,scarred Everett
without question, but he did not
impress the crowd as q prospective
champion Of the world.
The second largest crowd in the
annals of indoor boxing in Wash
ington paid $2,465 at the gate last
night. The spectators expected
Pastor to make good his promise
to knock out Everett.
Pastor not only failed to stop
Everett, but failed to score q
knockdown. Fighters Of lesser
reputation have accomplished that
feat without too much difficulty.
Everett bled slightly from the nose
at the end of the bout, and q faint
trickle of claret was noted around
Pastors mouth.
Referee Bowen scored 95 points
for Pastor and 80 for Everett, Civ.

three and counting one even.
Judge Singer scored 81 points
for Pastor, SO for Everett. Singer
scored three rounds even, gave
Everett two rounds and Pastor
five rounds.
Judge Mulhall gave Pastor
the entire 10 rounds.
The writer thought Pastor won
seven rounds, with three in favor
of Everett.
EVERETT FOUGHT WELL
Everett fought q far better
fight than local fans have seen
him make in many Q day. He
started in his usual reckless, take
one to land one style, but after
he had been hit on the chin by q
couple Of inside right uppercutS
and a few smashing left hooks on
the Jaw, Buck changed his tactics.
He covered his chin pretty well
with high left shoulder defense,
and he caught Pastors left hooks
on his right forearm.
Naturally, Everett's recourse to
experience and science slowed the
action of the fight considerably,
but it was the correct and sensible
thing to do. Buck waited patient
ly for openings, and when they
came he laShed out manfully. But
Pastor was rugged, took the but-
fetS and was in no danger.

BREAK FOR BUCK
The only break of the fight was
in favor Of Everett. Pastor had
rocked him with a vicious right
uppercut to the jaw and plunged
in to smash home wicked left
to the head. Everett was a bit
woozy from the punishment when
the lacings of Pastors glove came
undone. The referee called time
and tied the laces. Everett thus
got a most welcome rest.
Pastor gave Everett a bit Of a
going over in the ninth round,
which was marked by a furry Of
heavy punching. There were heavy
exchanges in the tenth, with both
men strong at the finish.
Steve Mamakos. the Golden
Greek, returned to the ring for the
first time since he lost to George
Abrams. He defeated joey Spaag-
Iler in six rounds. MamakoS
