ED BUTLER STILL INTHEOLBIPIC FIGHT TRYOUTS His Defeat by Mendez Not Counted Because Victor Was Not an Olympic Contender . Contrary to general belief Ed But ler wa3 not put out of further com petition for a berth on the American Olympic boxing team." He was beat en in bis second fight in Baltimore in the sectional tryouts for the team; but the man who defeated him, Hector Mendez, Argentine 'consul at Balti more, was not an American citizen and therefore not eligible to represent America in the , Olympics. . Butler was picked by the A. A. U. boxing committee at Baltimore to go to the final tryouts at Boston, April 23rd and 24th, because in their opin ion he was the most capable and ex perienced welterweight among the eli gible men of his class. Mendez had been allowed to participate only after long deliberation on the part of the boxing committee because of the fact that the tournament was not only be ing held for tryouts for the Olympic team but was a boxing tournament for the South Atlantic. " . : In the first round of fights Wednes day night Butler easily outpointed Ernest March, representing the Em erywood Athletic club in three rounds. Marsh used a cover-up style of fight ing and Ed was unable to knock him out. Mendez in the same" bracket koeked his man in twenty seconds. , An hour later Butler took on Senor Mendez in what proved to be the "most colorful bout . of the. evening." By using all the boxing still at Ms com mand Ed managed to keep away from th terrific straight-from-the-shoulder punches of Mendez. Newspapermen gave Butler the first round. Butler's strength was sapped by his first fight and the second round found him at the receiving end of a shower of straight lefts and rights that nearly mid him low. Mendez. was not so aggressive in the third round and Sutler emerged frem the fight "the first man in the state of Maryland to last three rounds with the Argentine Consul." Mendez was on the 1924 . Olympic team from Argentine and beat the American welterweight in Amsterdam, but was later beaten. Since coming to this country he has had 17 bouts and has won them all by knockouts before the end of the second round. He will also represent his native heath in the Olympics this year. ; The Tar Heel captain received a tremendous ovation on the first night of the tournament and when it was announced Thursday night that Ed -waa going to Boston in spite of his defeat the crowd nearly took the roof off. Fight experts around Baltimore believe that Butler would outpoint Mendez if he were given another week to train and if he was fresh. Dr. English Bagby, Dr. J. F. Dash iel, and H.
