A crowd of about 500 packed the High School auditorium | jast night to witness a scheduled | ten bouts of boxing, but the card was reduced to three fights. Promoter and Announcer Na- than explained to the large gathering that the main event between John Mercer, 210' pounds, and Ernest Moyers, 180 pounds, had been cancelled when the fighters would not agree on the number of rounds to be fought. Mercer wanted to fight only three rounds, while Moyers stated that a minimum of five would be necessary. Four colored boxers from one of the’ Navy’s teams also failed to make an appearance.: ‘Their colored opponents were present, and efforts to mateh hiss boxers proved fruitless be- of weight differences. ‘epper’s explanations were not * 9 oj Baer the spectators d ioudly, with one preys. “What are we here for?” At this remark, Coach Pepper told the gathering that all who were, not satisfied could have their money refunded. This state- ment. caused a wholesale move- ment,.to the frant entrance where nearly all asked for a re- fund. The first bout of the evening brought together Vincent Catala, 81 pounds, and Paul’ Brown, 78 pounds, Both boys answered the bell’ with furious fighting. Ca- tala and Brown rocked each oth- er’with lefts and rights. The heavier boy showed in this rourid that he was the possessor of a vicious right hand. In the second round Brown had @ ehance to show his ring knowledge, as he made Catala miss, At times Brown led unor- thédexty with his right; which, nevertheless, was ‘very effective. In Round three, Brown ‘start- ed off excellently, but Catala, continuing to bring pressure te bear.an the lighter lad with his aggressiveness,.had Brown tired at\the end, ane ut was declared a draw was pleased with aaa fight.and the decision. Catala @ straight-up fighter, and we l-canditioned, showed ‘great promige ‘of developing into a top-notch amateur fighter. The second bout of the eve- ning‘ was also a crowd-pleaser, as southpaw Charles Roberts, 118 pounds, won ever Robert Defore, 122 pounds. Roberts won the first round, as his right, jabs found Defore’s face repeat- edly. ‘In the second round De- fore made a comeback and floer- ed: Roberts at the bell, with a right: to the jaw. Previeusly both boys had slugged it out at close quarters. without regard for s#lf-protection. Round three found Roberts again taking command. The bout, was hard-fought all the way, and the crowd gave the boys a good hand at: the finish, . The: tire ang last k Baht of: the’ event’ Was between Sergid Boza, 140° pounds, and Warren Bethel, 143. pounds... The fight was declared a draw as bath boys showed plenty of respect for each other and did not mix it up.too well. Bethel, a well- built lad, landed well with his left, while Boza countered with his right, which was good. Jimmy Calloway handled the refereeing, with Harry Baker and Oscar Fernandez acting as judges.
