this go the sporting fraternity win be
treated to a change that promises 20 meet
with general favor. Heretofore every
match made has been between fighters in

Hueser was born here, little is known
about his ability as a boxer. except the
showing he made against Terry Davis
last week. His style Immediately caught
the crowd, and there are many i'm the

Mexican Pete seems 10 be up 10 his old
tricks again, and is evidently intent on

follower of the game said yesterday:
This is "A funny world. What does the
human race want, anyway? There sat a
crowd of men to see the two big bruiscts

with the sailor until the latter does some
thing to redeem himself
