	Still, some fans were critical of Fahie for matching the young Trambitas against tough opposition early on, such as Oakland's veteran [[Lee Johnson]] in May 1917. But Trambitas earned a draw and some respect. In time, however, Trambitas received criticism from promoters of private [[smoker]]s, and so he wasn't given much opportunity against headliners. The Great War further checked his career. But when Oregon's [[USA: Oregon Laws\|ten-round law]] went into effect in 1919, Trambitas had some good bouts and began to earn recognition.
