Show OGDEN BOYS IN BOXING BOUTS Grant Evans of This City-Given City-Given Decision in Tame Four-round Go With K. O. Brwon. Salt Lake, Oct 24. Well, it sure was a go get 'em bout, that one between be-tween Soak 'Em Yoakum of Denver and our own Pat Gilbert. The draw decision of Referee Downing looked like the proper caper from the outside looking In, and it was certainly popular popu-lar with the gang in attendance. Too bad Hardy could not have extended the going a couple of rounds, for it looked as though in that period of time Pat could have annexed the lightweight light-weight title of Colorado. The first round saw Gilbert slightly slight-ly outclassed by his more experienced opponent, who got Pat coming in and then in every clinch pulled as pretty infighting as has been seen here In many a day. It wasn't the head down boring in kind, but wideawake slashing slash-ing upper cuts and short arm jabs of the tooth jarring genus. The second session saw i-'at using right swings to the body as Yoakum came In, and although al-though his bean got considerable rocking, yet It was Pat's round by a shade. Canto three found both men exceeding the speed limit, each at his own specialty, Pat to the body as they came together and Yoakum jolting jolt-ing the local man's think box. Going Go-ing was even. The'Denverite began to take notice of the body blows from Pat's good right and slowed up perceptibly in the fourth frame, although In a clinch he managed to open a cut over the local lo-cal boy's left peeper. A brief space of time before the gong clanged Pat got in a right to the head that caused Yoakum to hesitate a moment, but he 1 tore In again before Pat could make anything of IU The fifth period saw Gilbert force the going and Yoakum giving ground before the Impetuous localito. Each remained true to his forte and the Denveiite played on the head while the local pride scored on the body. At the gong for the sixth scrim-I scrim-I mage each man came up with a "do or die" look, but there was no chance for a K. O. for either. Pat was on the receiving end for some rat-a-jtat blows to the head, but played even by placing some beautiful jolts to the short ribs. At the bell both men were going strong and the draw decision met with general favor. "Comeback" Jack Carpenter handed Buss Boylo of Ogden a beautiful trimming trim-ming and proved that he has lost none of his cunning. The left leads Buss started went by and tben Jack would plant in a left jab" or' rieht cross to the head, shaking the Ogdenite way down to the shoes. If Boyle didn't 1 learn something about boxing it 1 wasn't Jack's fault for the latter 1 showed his younger opponent just what ought to be done. Jack coolly let the up-Btate boy try and then cut in on him when his underpinning was out of gear after a futile rush. The decision to Carpenter was foreseen before the first round ended, though the bout went the scheduled four rounds. K. O. Brown of San Francisco and Grant Evans of Ogden went four tame rounds which Hardy gave to Evans, who tried all the way. The first two sessions saw Brown clinching at every opportunity and then hanging on. Evans, built like a panther, came In and out, using both hands and trying try-ing all the time, while Brown smothered smoth-ered all the blows he could and took what he couldn't block with a smile. It was not until the third frame that Brown did any work, and then just a flash before he crawled back into his shell. The fourth saw the only real going when the coast boy opened up and showed some offensive ability, but it would take more than a Frisco finish fin-ish to gain a decision over the lead Evans had pilled up. Evans got the decision and will show up a number of other boys of his weight if given a chance. Bob Moore and Dutch Blulosh, claiming Goldfield as his home, put on the funny stuff of the evening. Dutch must have trained at a race track for he was better at making quick getaways get-aways than anything else until Bob got him cornered and put over the sleep potion in the third round. Gus Williams, just above the amateur ama-teur class, clashed with another bantam ban-tam named Willie Malin. The first session was a whirlwind affair, but in the second Gus put Willie down for the count of nine and in the third rushed his man against the ropes, where be put over the "one-two." Curtains Cur-tains for Willie. The curtain-raiser brought together , Kid Bud and Kid Young. Both kids. I Young won the decision. |
