Ends Pool Fight Ward Socks Mack Behind Ear, and Slugger Takes Count in Second Round ‘T was the old story of experience vs, youth last night at the Crys- tal Pool when Bobby Ward, punch drunk from taking a severe beating in the first round, warded off de- feat by use of his noodle and out- foxed Freddie Mack, thé green youngster, in the second session, feinted him into leading and then countered with a terrific blow that landed behind Mack's ear and knocked the young slugger dead. Mack tried to get up, but his body wouldn't respond.. In the first round Mack swung and caught Ward on the side of the head with a terrific punch and followed it up with s¢veral more wallops that rocked the veteran St. Paul miller badly. He finally landed a right on Ward's button and the veteran hit the floor. He was so dizzy that he didn’t even take a count, and he couldn't hold up his hands. But he kept his chin down and ducked wild swing after wild swing which Mack tried to land for the k. 0. Ward waa in such a fog at the end of the round he tried to sit in Mack’s chair and had to be helped to his corner. Mack came out for the second round with his chin high and his hands low, leaving his head unpro- tected. Ward felnted with a Jeft and Mack shot for the opening. Ward made him miss and countered with a right hand that was half hook and half uppercut. Mack fell like he had been hit by a falling log. After his head had cleared, as he |was out for nearly a half an hour, Mack said he wanted to fight Ward Jagain Saturday if the match could be arranged. But if the youngster listens to those smarter in ring af- fairs than himself he will learn how to protect himself before he steps in the ring with oldtimers like Ward. It doesn't do any good in a ball game when you score 20 runs if the other side makes 21. Tho same goes for a fight. Pitting Mack against an old head like Ward before he was ready is a quick way of knocking him off. In a wild fight in the semi-windup |Pete Bross and Truman Davis |fought a gory dr: with Bross {having trouble + - Yealy cut eye. It was pret’ ih both men taking plen: snishment. Eddie Neil, the (yeictt bantam- weight, hit too cleverly for Babe Foote and the blonde boy wo the verdict in the four-round special. It was a nifty fight. Neil is a good battler now and deserves another tumble from the Seattle promoters. Danny Carlson gave Sailor Love a bad beating in four rounds, altho Carlson caught ‘quite a few him- self. It was purely a slugging bee. Swede Anderson and Jack Gard- ner were hitting {t up at a terrific pace in the opener when the Ta- coma welterweight hit Gardner on the chin in the third round and knocked him out. Nate Druxman staged the show. OFFICIALS ARE PICKED FOR BATTLE ASADENA, Cal. Dec, 29.—The choicest blooms of California are | being selected today to decorate this \elty for the 35th annual Tournament. lof Roses New Year's day, and with {both the naval academy and Unt | versity of Washington football teams speeding toward Los Angeles, final preparations for the big sport event jwhich features the celebration are nearing an end. Twenty-nine lads from Seattle under the guardianship of Enoch | Bagshaw are expected to arrive here Monday morning for a last minute | workout before the battle Tuesday. The navy squad, it is expected, will |get here Sunday afternoon, in order a good night's sleep before signal practice. This is ally the first time that teams competing in the Tournament of Roses contest have not arrived at ast a few days before the game to give their men a bit of practice. But ever since Bob Matthews, astute University of Idaho coach, announe- ed that it was foolish for coaches to try to acclimate their men in a few days, mentors seem to have taken | this sunny clime advice to heart. Officials for the game have been selected as follows: George Varnell, University of Chi- \to © Monds practi It} cago, referee. IW. umpire Kenneth Bartlett, Oregon, head linesman. » J.
