z IGHTWEIGHTS will be the center Of
attraction IN the Juarez arena to-
morrow afternoon when Grover

and Louie Albert. the aggressive Manila
scrapper. clash in a scheduled 20 round bout
In view Of the fact that the winner OF the
battle is very apt TO receive several offers
from promoters over the country TO meet
desirable selections in the future, plenty OF
action is anticipated during the entire 20
rounds.
Hayes Is the more experienced OF the
two and for this reason and because OF
MS reported hitting ability, he is the favor
tie IN the betting. Spectators are not
overlooking the aggressiveness, strength and
stamina OF the western boy. however, and
It Is very probable that when the light
weights step into the ring. the chances OF
the Manila champion will be made as good
as even money Hayes by virtue Of his
work In the training camp. is considered to
pack the hardest punch Of the two boxers.
Since he met Johnny Dundee in the Jua-
rez arena. and established himself a favor
lite with the Fl Paso and Juarez fans be-
cause Of his clean work, Hayes has fought
a number OF times in eastern rings. and
has won all OF his fights. Louie Albert

Detroit. Mich. Oct 3--Hughey Jennings
manager Of an American league pennant
winner IS OF the opinion that the Ath-

today. I would have been willing TO wager
that the Athletics stood good chance OF
winning four straight. or at least capturing
the series inside Of five games. But have
changed my mind.
During the last month the Braves have
won so many games in the ninth or extra
innings that we must admit they have real
class. for one OF the best Indications OF n
teams strength IS It's ability 20 win in
the alright games that are not decided
until the finish.
They say the Braves have only one
