He was still groggy in the Aressing room several minutes la- ter.” But one judge, Billy discovered, had tallied 11 rounds even and four for the Sitka Kid. “Just for fun, did I win the fif- teenth?” Billy said he asked thi: Judge “Sure,” answered the punch- tabber, but his gcorecard did not shew if, or did he show Billy even winning the eighth with the other knockdown.

This doesn’t prove anything but | the Juneau side of it, but even trying tc be reasonable, the Sitka decision still a peculiar one. McCann says like a good sports- man, “I'll fight him again, any- where,” but Bob Wahl of Sitka re- ports that Lovos declared before the fight, that win, lose or draw. it was his last.
