Sacco had tak- en two knock- downs, and then he went down for the third time and claimed Dr. Hunter examined him said no foul was evident. Sacco allowed to rest several minutes and the bout went on for the full siz rounds. Either the foul should have been a foul. a |mwarded or else Sacco should have been counted out, but Promoter Shanklin told the boys to finish the bout, and they did. What a swell fin- ish it w: After Sacco found out that he could really mix with Michaels with. out getting ruined, he put up a won- derful exhibition, winning the fifth «nd sixth rounds. The draw verdict was the only one possible, S8ACCO COMES BACK Michaels, as usual, depended en- {tirely upon his terrific left hand for his best work, and he landed plenty of times, bit after Sacco found he could break the New Yorker with his right hand, he loosened up and showed the boys some real speed and boxing class ir the last two sessions, bewildering Michaels and winning by a wide margin, Referees Art Schock’s decision was well received, Sacco, who hafis from Boston, is @ finished worker in the ring, and after * got over his stage fright, he showed a lot of class. He boxes Joe Gorman at the Arena here, Tuesday night. Joe Eagan, the Boston middle welght, won over Eddie Hammond in a slow fight. Eagan used his left hand tn hooking to the wind and head for most of his points. The fans gave the bout the royal order of | the razz. It was a six-round tiff. BALLARINO A LIGHTWEIGHT? Mike Ballarino, the Camp Lewts fignter, has no business fighting fy- welghts bantams. Reports going the rounds before his bout last night with Kid La Rose said he weighed The Northwest promoters ought to make him hop on the scaler. He's too strong a toy to be fighting little fellows like La Rose, who only weighs around 112. Altho Ralarino won the verdict In thelr bout, which was a four-rounder, La Rose gave tim plenty of fight and made the Camp Lewis boy miss a lot of punches, Ballarino was too strong for the local entry, however, and won the call. It was a dard of a fight, in spite of the unevenness in weight. SECOND BOUT Is DRAW In the second bout, Sandy Carb sre, Tacoma welterwe'xht, staged a rinth. inning finish and eerned a draw with Kid Rarde, of Comp Lewis, Barde |scored a knockdown tn the first round.
