Draw Leaves McIntyre Sommers Bout in Rough Four Round Tie
The Portland light heavyweight Al Sommers and Chet McIntyre Coast champion fought four rounds at Crystal Pool with many observers believing Sommers had the edge though referee Ad Schacht scored it a draw. McIntyre warned of a worsening left arm from a Tacoma bout as Reynolds and Farmer drew in the semiwindup, and Labell beat Lowe on a KO call from Schacht. A second four-round bout saw Labell victorious, while Pinkman expected to visit Seattle from Montana.
