Friday Night Card at Maud junction
Unusually Attractive Because Of
Good Class Involved In
Principal Bouts

Division Of opinion regarding the
probabilities Of any fight always makes
the card good one, and usually proves
it's worth in attracting a good patron
age from the fans. II this rule pre-
walls Friday night there will be
record house at Maud Junction for a
minor event offering. as the ten-round
scrap between Leonard Lauder and
Bubbles Robinson promises to be one
OF the best scraps Of the season. 1t is
the most evenly balanced match Nc
Carey has made in a long time. These
boys will furnish the main event of
the card that Is to be staged that
night.
Owing to the fact that Lauder never
has run up against an opponent who
was too hard nut for him to crack.
he probably will be the favorite with
the betting sports, although the odds
cannot be great by any manner of
figuring. Lauder assuredly is one of
the cleverest fighters produced by the
McCarey school in long time, and
his remarkable success in all his ring
career entities him to the post of IA
voritism.
Lauder has many admirers among
the fans because he Is of the gentle-
manly type of boxer that has been a
credit to the sport in recent years and
diucu III iillfiltfilZu1k the oppoSlliou "
boxing by reason thereof. He also Is
popular because he is a winner and
always has done all that has been
asked of him. He Is stout hearted,
very clever, fast and has fair punch.
He does not stall or seek to box pretty
for a decision. but sails in from the
tap Of the gong to make life burden
to his opponent.
Bubbles Will BE Backed
It Is because Bubbles Robinson, his
opponent, is equally clever. fast game
and has a sitter punch that the match
appears to be so evenly matched. There
Is little left to choose between them.
and owing to their great speed and
cleverness the battle should be in
tensely interesting and exciting
throughout and at the same time fur
nish the fans with one Of the prettiest
glove duels. ever staged in minor
event show In the local ring.
Bubbles is nothing short of wonder
with his fists. Although only a be-
ginner at the biff-bang game. he has
gone to the front so rapidly that the
fans have come to consider him a
legitimate main-event fighter. He has
height and reach advantages over Lau-
der and is training like a champion
ship title was at stake, realizing the
value of victory over the clever and
boy realizes the necessity of winning
and is training faithfully to get into
condition. develop speed and punch and
acquire new leads. jabs and swings.
Webster Has Hard Job
Danny Webster, claimant of the
coast bantam championship and chal-
lenger of the world In his class. gets
back into the game after a long rest
and will take on Tommy Hennessey
San Francisco boy who is said to be
extremely clever and prime slugger
Danny is in good condition, but is
training hard that he may not be
caught mapping by the imported scrap
per. 1t is said that Hennessey never
backs up in a fight and local fans know
that Danny does not understand how
TO retreat, so 1t begins to look as If
McCarey had landed on great short
round card In making this match.
Every fan who saw Frank Picato
fight at the Chutes fleet week or at San
Diego at a later date will be pleased
to know that he is to have real try
out and with a fighter who has good
record behind him. He will tackle
Oscar Astle. a Colorado boy who has
faced the music several times In the
Rocky mountain capital and has
proved his ability as fighter In his
class. Both boys practically are UNI
known to the fans, but the bout will
give Picato a thorough tryout and
is interesting for that reason, If moth
ing more.
Jap Oyama acknowledges to an am
bition and 1t must be admitted that
on his showings in the local ring he
thoroughly outclasses all the Orientals
that ever fought for the entertainment
of Los Angeles fans. He Is being in
structed by Eddie Robinson and Is
getting practical instruction in the
ring. In taking on Mike Kutchos he
has picked up tartar, but seems to
think he has nothing to fear. Young
Saddle and Jimmy Donovan, practi-
cally unknown fighters, will travel over
a six-round route If an unexpected
punch does not terminate hostilities
before the limit and Young McGovern
is the sponsor for this match. In the
absence, of any real line on these boys,
the testimony of Young McGovern to
the effect that they are genuine fighters
and destined to shine as stars of the
roped arena should be sufficient to
make the bout size up to the standard
OF portland bean debuts.
