LA OU'VE got to take your hat off to Dode Bercot The Monroe logger kicked thru with the greatest finish that any fighter has ever dished up in a Seattle ring in his battle of battles with Ted Krache, of Hoquiam, last night at the Arena. One second more and Krache would have been counted out in the sixth round! Taking a right swing flush on the button, Krache fell like a ton of brick right smack on his f. nd Referee Pat Scott Started swinging his counting arm. When he had reached five Timer Len Dizzard jumped into the ring with his trusty Watch and just as Scott’s arm swung down for the nine count Dizzard blew his whistle and Bercot was robbed of a K. 0. But the victory will go down in the record book as a technical Kk. O., asthe referee could have counted a couple of hundred before Krache could have got up, as the Hoquiam Jad was paralyzed by the wallop. showed his hting heart when he came back the fifth round and carried the fight to Krache after the Hoquiam boy had won the third and fourth rounds in a walk and looked like a winner. Bercot forced all the fight- ing in this period and won the round. The going was pretty even until the sensational punch in the sixth. Bercot changed his punching tactics in the fifth from the belly to} the chin and it had its effect, as Krache left himself open and Bercot, a southpaw by style, hopped one on the hinge and Krache dropped. \; Great Crowd Turns Out 1E crowd of f the “Arena the largest in the histor Northwest. borhood of every nook Arena.
