LASSEN OF HARRAHAN is proving to be a versatile battler these days. Last night the Fighting Harp added the scalp of Marcario Flores, the Manila Tiger, to his belt. Two weeks ago Harrahan beat Morgan Jones, the clever Tacoma youngster, S11 emesta by outroughing him in the clinches and ly superior infighting. Last night he found he couldn’t do any. Pric Per thing with Flores at close range and so he boxed him, mixed up his attack with rushes 1 that ebiieiet the brown battler off of his feet time and time Tr again and won the decision. re i Harrahan seemed to be in slightly better condition thay ¥ the Manila entry. He finished stronger, taking the fourth be round by a large edge. u | FLORES HAD EDGE IN FIRST 4th The first round was fairly even with the edge going to Flores. The visitor clicked Harrahan a wallop on the chin vith his justly famous right just as Harrahan was ducking. It shook the little Irishman up considerably and gave the round to his opponent as it was the only effective blow of | the session. Harrahan waded in and copped the second round by a shade. EX He adopted long range tactics and made Flores miss re- - peatedly. j The third was fairly even. Flores forced Harrahan to the : ropes and shot an uppercut that just grazed Joe’s chin. If o at had landed we might be writing a different story. But Joe evened it up before the gong when he fo Flores into a neutral corner and landed many telling pune! FOURTH ROUND DECIDES BOUT The last round was all Harrahan’s. He rushed the Filipino ; all over the ring and won hands down. ‘ Charlie Givens. who was the third man in the ring, didn’t Ww have any trouble picking the winner. ' The real feature of the main event was the Wild West demonstration by Harry Casey, local lightie, who was in x Harrahan’s corner. He yelled louder than a missionary : watching the Zulu chef prepare the king's family dinner. The semi-windup was a real battle with Boy McCasslin ir winning the decision over Young Gardeau. The only real edge between the battlers was established in the first round bi when McCasslin floored the tall Idaho boy twice, nearly stopping him the second time. Ti But Gardeau weathered the storm, and it wasn’t any breeze either, and he fought on even terms with McCasglin the rest of the way. Both boys were pretty weary when the final gong sounded. | _ Rube Finn won a close decision over Red Gallagher. In the |closing round Finn's right hand began to find its mark and jhe did the stiffer punching. As for aggressiveness Gallagher forced all of the fighting. | That’s the main handicap of Finn, as he won't lead. Once he Jearns to force matters a bit he will get in the better graces of the fans. A GOOD WRESTLER George Benquet might be a good Filipino wrestler, but he turned out to be quite a quince as a boxer. He is one of Flores’ playmates. He's evidently green at the game. He x jtook a beating from Alvin Landin, who didn’t have any | eoable trouncing him. In the last round or two Banquet ii wrestled around quite a bit, but he didn’t do any punching. The going was a bit too rugged for Young Parker in the M opener. The bout was stopped in the second round when | Bob Barnes piled up too big a lead. George Wagner refereed the first four bouts. Quite a crowd of the boys and girls were on hand, with a goodly sprinkling of Flores’ countrymen in the audience.
