Pickerd Trounced Local Heavy Given Bad Lacing by Veteran Touchstone. The “Hoosier Havoc" is no more. Walter Pickerd, the big blond who here this title in numerous local ring engagement, was administered what the natives are wont to call a neat shellacking by the veteran Benny Touchstone, Detroit heavyweight, in ten rounds at the Armory Tuesday night. What started out to be just another Pickerd fight wound up with Pickerd reeling. Pickerd carried the first three rounds in easy fashion, scoring a knockdown in the second but from then on everything was Touchstone and the local mauler weathered the hammering with difficulty. Scotty Scotten, local featherweight, had his hands full but nosed out Georgie Stokes of Gary in a torrid six-rounder. Two young Indianapolis heavies also brought cheers. Harold Anderson stopping Battling Shehee of Connersvllle In the second round after some trouble in the first and Marlon Youngstaefel winning a technical knockout over Karl King of Elwood in the fourth. Lester Quillen, Grand Rapids flvweight, shaded .Jimmie Fox In an interesting six rounds and Blllv Moore was stopped by Norman Brown, local middleweight, in the first frame. Two prominent light heavyweights, Joe Anderson of Cincinnati and Clyde Chastain of Texas, will battle in next Tuesday’s too ten-rounder.
