ar 4 ss THE STAR SPORT STAFF mil Evans ack Ho About Fights and Fighters BY LEO H. LASSEN Day let anybody try to tell you that this baby, Johnny Trambitas, can’t fight. The Portland lightweight may not be the most S= sive boy in the world, but lady, lady, how he can sock! He hit Dode Bercot on the chin with a left hook in the fourth round of their fight at Tacoma Thursday night and only Bercot’s great natural amina ever survived it. Any average pug who would have taken that punch on the chin would have been knocked flat. Trambitas, handicapped by short arms, won't do much leading, but he's murder to a fighter like Bercot, who forces all of the fights he is In. Here’s One Rematch That Looks Good It's too bad that the fight ended the way It did, Bercot winning out on a foul In the fifth round. The fight was a pip while It lasted, both boys landing some terrific punches. Rercot had the advantage in weight and reach, but Trambitas off- set this with his punching power and experience. If the match can be made these boys should be signed up again, as it is one re-match that looks good. Portland may try to land {t for the 2@round route, and it should be a wonderful contest Mike De Pinto Has Improved is a much Improved boy. . ike Trambitas, is a coun left well But when the young Portlander is set he carries dynamite in his left | hook and right to the body. Joe Waterman Has Some Big Ideas Joe Waterman is making good as & promoter. When Waterman decided to go into the fight game the newspaper game lost a good fight writer. Waterman has the right idea of} matchmaking, bringing together col orful boys who give the scribes some- | , thing to write about. His mate deserved publicity. The coming battle he will stase— the Bobby Harper.Ted Krache argu- ment—will also get reams of pub- licity, and it deserves it.
