aera aL nT LT EET CIE (000 SEE FILIPINO FLASH WIN AS HAD BEEN EXPECTED ? Pancho Entitled to Honors in Nine Rounds, With Three Even and Three Going to His Opponent—Martin Seemed Able to Take Everything Filipino Was Able to Hand Out. By Ed Van Every. NCHO VILLA met Terry Martin at the Garden last night in a fight thet was—just a fight. The Filipino Flash won as expected, though possibly not as decisively. Ono of the surprising features of the evening was the fact that more than 10,000 paid good money to see Villa defeat the boy who had been beaten by the boy (Frankie Genaro) who defeated Villa. This proves that Pancho is an exceptional drawing card. Another surprising feature was the fact that quite a few booed the de Cision in favor of Villa. Villa, who injured his ankle while im training and was forced to cut out tits conditioning work for two days, was only in spasms the marvellous little fighting streak that has made #uch a bit with the fight fans. Oc- casionally he was forced to ease up, Roticably in the sixth and _ ninth younds, Nevertheless, the Fillpino ‘boy was entitied to the honors in nine nounds, with three even and three going to Martin. For Martin it should be said that he seemed able to take everything ‘Villa was able to hand out. He stayed with his opponent and fought back ail the way and finished tn fairly good shape outside of some damage to his ose, which suffered quite an assort- ment of punches. It might also be mentioned that Martio smiled when- ever he was hit and had consider- able to smile about since he felt that way about it. 10,032 FIGHT FANS PAID TO SEE VILLA AND MARTIN BOUT By John Pollock. Another large crowd of fight fans attended the boxing ‘outs staged by Tex Rickard at Madison Square Ga night, at which Panoho Villa, the fly- weight champion of the United Stat fought Terry Martin of Providence, 2. |., in the star bout of fifteen rounds. About 11,000 persons witnessed the bout, of which 10,032 paid for tickets. Tho gross receipts including the Gov- nment tax of 10 per cent. amounted to $33,364.10, while the net receipts ‘igured up $28,814.45, Martin's most effective blow was a] from which Villa and Martin re- right swing’ to the kidneys. He con-| Seived their percentage. Villa nected often and powerfully with this} 9° 30 per cent. of the net Punch, and Villa's body showed the effects of the pounding. His left side was a deep pink and considerably bruised from this violent massage. VILLA HAS SPRING LIKE A PANTHER’S. Whenever Villa really cut loose, however, he was all over his man and Swept him back to the ropes. There something panther-like about the fone of little man into action; of the dart of the rattle- fake in his blow when he strikes; something of the tirelessness of a Wolf-hound tn the persistency of his attack. There was considerable ani- mal quality to his fighting, plus the {utelligence of the human brain. ‘They tore into each other with the clang of the bell and close body fight- img marked the most of the first _ found. In the second Villa flashed some of his speed stuff and Martin ‘Was spilled to the canvas, but for only @ second, as the result of a right swing and a@ partial slip. Pancho put over some good smashes to the jaw in the third but was fighting rather wild at times and missed rather often. MARTIN TAKES THE AGGRES- SIVE IN FOURTH ROUND. Tm ibe fourth Martin took the ag- gresive and gained a shade. He also started the fifth in good style but the Filipino was doing the most effective Work before the round was over. This Was a warm session but the sixth and receipts of $28,814.45, which gave him $8,644.34, while ‘Aartin got 11 per cent. which brought his end up to $3,169.59. The State got , $1,516.55, which was five per cent. of $28,814.45, The tickets. sold for the fights including the gov- 8 followa: ernment tax, were With Government Tax vtrelie) of ten per cent. added 3,033.10 + $33,364.10 —————S Total. and they made lots of noise express- ing themselves to that effect. Martin forced the going in the eleventh and deserved this round, but the last four were all plainly in favor of Villa. One flurry of punches in the thirteenth almost blew Terry out of the ring. Villag weighed 111, which gave Mar- tin ‘four and one-half pound ad-J vantage. No title was involved, the Filipino being three pounds over the fiyweight limit himself.

Heydler, President of the National League, and the National Leaguo club owners. he senior league head confirmed the statement here that Benton was not wanted in the National League. Out in Judge Landis’s office in Chi cago two statements were issued by the head of baseball—first, that he had no evidence against the Rube which might keep him out of the majors. Later, another report was that Benton's stories on betting during the crooked World's Series of 1919 would be carefully investigated and if Ben- ton was found guilty he would not only be banished trom the majors but would not be allowed to pitch in the minors either. Benton's career during the last few @ years in baseball has been rather mysterious, If Benton is good enough to pitch in the minors with the St Paul Club of the American Assocta- tion and is considered ‘ta member in ing to Benton's tale, he was ap- proached by two of his fellow New York players.
