i e Hl t | Ly a PAGE 16 About Fights and Fighters] BY LEO H. LASSEN PIDER ROACH, Tod Mor-} gan’s crafty trainer,| thinks that next to Morgan, Vie Foley, the Vancouver, B. C., bantamweight, is easily the best ring prospect in the| Northwest at the present) time, | “You should have Foley cop this bird, Charley Moy, in Vancouver the other night,” says Roach. “Hej fought much differently than he did ainst Midget Smith} here. The trouble with Foley | in the Smith fight was that} we, who were handling him,| were all too cautious. Smith fight in New seen York nearly “IE saw he | some tim knocked Joe punch on top ¢ with a n't take kinst Moy, Foley stepped into and knocked him dead Just watch this boy develo Riesler Makes Old Mistake with Johnny Riesler } the same old] stuff of many things abo’ newspapers. other night was the a youngster reading te himself in 1 Some of the experts| were hailing him far and wide as a| world-beater, and were picking him as an easy winner. When he came tn the ring you could tel! from his attitude that he| thought Joe Gorman was a setup.| He slouched down in his o and} looked bored to death, And Gorman gave him a nifty lacing. He was a hard man for tho little Portlander to fight, because of his long reach, but Gorman won from here to Portland and back. Altho Riesler was much advertised, the fans have had so many flivvers among the newcomers lately they are rather skeptical until a fel low has proved his worth. The Mitiget Smiths and Cal Delaneys have given the game a sock on the chin and Riesler’s help it any, Riesler must be able to fight as he has met some good boys in the South, and he may be given another chance to prove his class in the Northwest. Morgan Will Be Back Soon Tod Morgan will be back from his hunting trip in the Olympics within & few days and the Coast feather. weight king will undoubtedly be seen fn action here soon. Morgan would beat Joe Gorman just like he did Bud Ridley; he would jab the day- Nghts out of Joe. Gorman isn’t fast enough to have much of a chance with Morgan. This match will probably be made sdon, and, altho Morgan would be a} big favorite to win, Gorman, with} his aggressive style, would make a/ good fight of It. It looks lke the promoters will have to do some tall figuring to get} suitable opponents for Morgan, as} he’s too good for most of the boys around these parts. Waterman Does Wise Thing In calling off the George Lamson- Willie Meehan fight because Meehan} didn't show up in time to train sev- eral days in Tacoma before the match, Joe Waterman, Tacoma pro-| moter. did a wise thing. These out-| side fighters seem to be taking the| Northwest as a joy ride for a little| easy coin lately and making them} train in a city beforehand {s one way to make them come to terms. It didn’t do very much good In Riesler’s case here this week, but {t} gives those fans who have the in-| clination and the time to Jook the| boys over in training a chance to do #0. | A good stiff financial forfeit, that | the boxing commission should give to charity if claimed, should be put up by the fighters guaranteeing that they are in condition to fight. That will eure this habit quicker than anything else. Myers and Bercot Again Next Week Spug Myers and Dode Bercot will fight six rounds again next Tuesday | at the Crystal Pool. They put up a teally good fight last week and as both fellows are husky, aggressive | fellows, they should do so again | ‘The main trouble with the fight is) that the local promoters are rematch- ing Bercot too many times. Every | time he has met a fighter lately the bout has been brought right back again. This was true in the scraps with Young Carman, Ted Krache, Joe Nestman, Morgan Jones, and now Meyers. Lamson and Yeager Ready for McDonnell Jack McDonnell, the young Seattle heavyweight, doesn’t have to wander very far from home if he is looking for matches that will force him to the limit to win. George Lamson, the Omaha heavy- weight, who knocked for a goal recently, and Nig ¥ the great young Portland prospect, are ready to meet him any time. MeDonnell has had only a very few professional fights. He knocked out some young middleweight at Shelby, stopped a big, rugged & dinavian down in California, an broke his hand beating old Battling Ortega. He has been out of the game since. McDonnell shows real promise, but needs actual ring experience before tackling the boys that are too tough. He is a Seattle boy, a high-class fa low and one who should be a reat credit. to the game if he improves a he should, Seattle fany saw him in ‘The Star amateur championships) last spring, but as they haven't seen in action In @ pro bout they undoubtedly turn out for 1| Yeager fight, Heavy | hts always draw, particularly it} the bugs are assured that they will fight. | showing didn't | w W ashington Listed With Grid Elite Four Major Elevens Have Records Marred With Tie Games only 21 teams in the United ct records, majo Each of the game this week Washington is playing the A.
