Lux won the title from iy Wright in Tacoma last Thursday. The bout could have been called a draw without hurt- ing anybody, but Abel's aggressiveness and his big lead in | the third round gave him an edge over the Portlander, but not enough to hand away a title. | Lux was off last night. He didn’t flash anything more startling than a harmless left jab, which he kept in Abel's face. Abel was the aggressor thruout the bout and hit Lux easily in the clinches.
