HOLYOKE. Mass. Mar. 81
The case of the perambulating
pugiliSts has been solved.
The mystery started Monday
night when two young Spanish
boxers from New York went out
for a snack and missed their
bouts at the Valley Arena.

The two fighters, who came
from their native Spain via
Puerto Rico and speak little Eng

When they left the theater

them to Holyoke Arena, instead

By the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 81. Don
Cockell, Britain's farmer-black-
smith boxer, skyrocketed to a
contending role in the heavy
weight picture by outpointing
Roland LaStarza in 10 rounds at
Earls Court Arena last night.
Cockell, .2-to-1 underdog,
took over in the fifth and piled
up points the rest of the way.
Some British experts had the
margin as wide as 80 in rounds
for the winner. The Associated
Press scorecard had it Sal.
In fairness. LaStarza wasn't
that bad. For four rounds, he
looked as though he intended

But I think I Won"
LaStarZa tried desperately for
a knockout in the 10th and final
round. But he had neither the
power nor the aim. When it
ended. he didn't even hear the
bell and the referee had to lead
him to his corner with a head
lock.
Gate Totals $4,000.
The sellout crowd of $4,000
produced a gate of about S1l2.-

weighed 1892 to Cockell's 211.
The victory was Cockell's 57th
