McCarthy was trying hard for a knockout all thru the bout and did manage to crack Wright several terrific wallops, but Billy stood up| under the attack and had McCarthy missing badly most of the time. yYAPS BLOWS WITH MOTORMAN Wright is the first ring fought with McCarthy here this season. man who has stood up and Most of the other! battlers who have mixed with the Californian were on the run most of the time, but Wright swapped punches with McCarthy and beat him to most of the blows, | Wright made a grand finish,.altho McCarthy nearly pped him in the third frame when he ragged him with a couple of hard lefts in the stomach and on the chin. But Wright won the final round by a mile and smeared McCar- ithy’s face with his left and occasionally banged him on the} snoot with a well placed right. ‘Thought He Was Cheated Sol Levinson, McCarthy's manager, | that McCarthy was robbed of a draw but the majority of the fans agreed with the judges. George Olson, a local. attorney, and Tommy Shields, of the Simonds com pany, were the judges, with Roy David and Jimmy Malone in the ring ‘In the semi-windup the “Bitter Root Kid,” had quite an edge on Frankie Tucker.

A knockdown in the second frame helped the “Kid's” cause along. Jimmy Storey rained gloves on Mike Pete and dazed the Wilkenson boy with his assortment of teft and Storey popped Pete with regularity, and when Pete came tearing in, Storey let him have a volley of wallops on the noodie that soon slowed Pete up. Storey copped the verdict and won ft by a mile. He has won a home here with his work and is a welcome addition to the Seattle mitt corps. Fight Draw Harry Williams had a slight shade over Steve Reynolds in their bout. The big fellows fought, hammer and tongs, in their mix, and Williams put up the best fight he has shown since his battles with Oscar Koch a couple of months ago, Williams nearly sunk Steve in the third frame, but Reynolds made a come- back and evened the going by his in fighting. Steve landed his hardest blow at the start of the second round when he cracked Williams on the Jaw, but the Spokane man refused to dive. (illiams used his left with nice advantage last night. Steve tried hard to work on Williams’ wind in the clinches, but Williams held him off most of the time. First Round Even ~ In the first round of the main event, Wright landed the first wal. ing right, on McCarthy's McCarthy started his boring tactics and played for Wright's head. He backed Wright against the ropes, but Wright got back into the center of the ring and jabbed McCarthy with his left. Both men were taking it easy in this period and the round was even, with Wright | nose, McCarthy started after Wright in the second session and swung wildly several times, but Wright managed to keep away from him.

Wright had McCarthy miasingly badly. It was Wright's round by a shade. McCarthy Gets Third At the start of the third session, MeCarthy ragged Wright against the | ropes and almost knocked him out | with @ series of hard blows to the wind and two solid punches on the head, but Wright refused to dive, and, by clever footwork, escaped fur. ther punishment. It was MoCar thy’s round. Billy came out of his corner in the final chapter and hopped seven left jabs in McCarthy's face in quick succeasion and crossed a right to the jaw before McCarthy landed a blow McCarthy was fighting like a mad man in this period, but couldn't hit the Seattle phantom, who kept him self in the clear. Wright won the last round by a mile, and, with the edge in the first two periods, copped the verdict and the title In the curtain-raiser, son took a nice lacing from Staniey Ryan, a neweomer, with a nice left} hand.

Mickey is writ ing @ series of articles on his experi- ences in the fight game. And ences, Australia, where Mickey King was born, 24 years ago, was the mecca for fighters a couple of seasons back. Eddie McGoorty, Jimmy Clabby, George Chip, Les Darcy and | Jeff Smith were some of the great middleweights who were in Australia when King was there. Mickey won over McGoorty, Clabby, Chip and Smith, and fought a draw with Darcy and finally lost the middle- weight title of Australia to Darcy. Mickey has traveled all over the world. He has fought in Monte | Cario, Spain, and in Milan, Italy. ‘d fought a fellow with a spa- ghetti name, who claimed the mid dieweight championship of the world,” says Mickey, “and I won the verdict. The people of Milan were very much grieved at the defeat of their champion. At a dinner that night I gave back the so-called title to the Italian ring man, and the guests cheered me like a national | hero.” | Mickey is planning on entering the export business, conducting a trade between Seattle and Australia, but | yet. | “I like the 20-round game much |better than the four-round fights,” | declares King, “because four rounds | is just a start, and a fighter ¥ | get a chance to size up his pli in four periods,” Mickey is one of the later type of fighters, and is a perfect gentleman, He fights scientifically, and has made a study of the most effective points to hit a man to accomplish — | the most results with the least ef: | fort.
