BUTLER - MANILA - FIGHT TO DRAW: IN HARD FIGHT Vets Stage Fine Smoker for Small Crowd at A. B. Arena Last Night Some 200 odd f! went A. W. can Legion smoker la: ed one of the staged in Juneau, hree nifty battles and a fourth that was| a bloomer only beca of the great disparity in size of the two box-| ers. The Butler-Manila main event) and DeGracia and Nabalis were! classics, even if both were WS. The semi-final missed re. Za- morra was outweighed 20 pounds and Weaver had little difficulty disposing of him in one round.| The former weighed 116 and the latter 136 and the handicap was too much for the little Filipino to overcome. In the curtainraiser, Rod on lost © Hulse slugged his way to victory over Kid Lawrence in four hectic sessions.

Butler straightened Joe up with a stinging right smash to the fore- |head and landed a left and a right to the jaw. Manila worked in close and when the bell rang they were slugging away with both hands. The judges' decision of a draw was popular. Semi-Final Is Short The semi-final was short lived. | Weaver towered above his opponent like a man-mountain, and the lit- tle brown brother who looked to {be clever and was game, was abso- lutely helpless. It was over with the bell. For two minutes, Zamorra tried to get at his bigger opponent but the latter kept him off and crowded the little fellow to the ropes. A right to the face sent Za- morra through the ropes and he crawled back through and took a nine count. ‘Weaver covered him like a flash and as the two battlers stood up and flailed away with both hands| the crowd rose and howled for al knockout. It started slowly with| slashing rounds, a slam bang, slug- ging match that brought out of their seats many roar for a kayo fireworks in the cpening round| when he burned Fords' face with| a two-handed attack. Butler, stung but not hurt, came back with all he had. Manila forced him to the limit in every round Little damage was done by either fighter in the first canto. Butler opened with an effort to land his famous one-two punch. Manila | ducked a left jab and Butler's right cross was wide of the mark. Manila, working in close, countered | with a left to the face which stung| but didn't damage. He ripped a| smart right to Butler's sore ribs but | the latter smiled and tied up Ma-| nila in a clinch. Butler landed a hard right to Joe's head and two more rights as the big Filipino worked in close. Joe ripped twol uppercuts through Butler's guard tu the body. Both were slipping the punches without danger. Manila Draws Claret Manila drew blood from Butler's nose with 'a left swing in the sec-| cnd round. The men worked in close at the bell.

Lawrence opened the session by left-hand- ing Hulse all over the ring in the first round. In the second Hulse solved the southpaw lead and from then on had Lawrence winging. Hulse drew blood in the second and again in the fourth. Harry Sperling refereed the first two and Billy Franks the semi and finals. Ed Adams and Karl Theile were judges.
