GOOD FIGHT At
FORT EXPECTED
THURSDAY NIGHT
frankie Martin and Johnny
Papke Are Said to Be
Evenly Matched.

A brief survey OF the record OF Frankie
Martin. the little company L battler, who Is
scheduled TO clash with Johnny Papke. Of
Kewanee. at Fort Bliss arena on Thursday
night shows that as far as experience and
past contests are concerned, the fighters are
on an equal basis. Martin has met some OF
the best men Of the division in the south
west. defeating a majority, and all this
happened when the infantry product was but
a novice in the glove game
There Is no doubt but that Martin has
improved so percent over the form he eLhib-
tied when he fought Larry Strouer in Jua-
rez over six months ago. Careful training
under the supervision OF his manager has
brought a change IN style OF fighting and
the adoption Of a new system by the stocky
little battler. Consistent training for the
past thre weeks has put the little fellow in
excellent physical condition and in readiness
for the battle OF his life.
Johnnie Papke. the prospective opponent
Of Martin. was scheduled to arrive in the
city Monday from the west. Papke has been
stationed at Nogales. Ariz-, with his troop,
and it was only through the influence Of su-
perfor officers OF Fort Bliss that the eX-
meet Martin Pspks will work out with
a number Of comrades in the sixth infantry
camp. all Of whom Will have good bet down
on the result OF the fight
The betting odds sway with the tide, and
It now seems probable that the principals
will enter the ring with the betting even on
the decision. and few wagers that the con-
test will not go the limit either way. Specu-
lations that If the contest goes 10 rounds
Papke Will receive the decision. while Martin
will score a knockout II one is made. are
being laid at various places along the border
patrol and among friends Of the principals.
Among the men Martin met and defeated
are as follows R. Rsmey, Marty Rowan KID
Sims. the Battling Dane. L Strouer. private

TO tamper with the men whose dis

have no difficulty in showing TO the

Stanley Ketchel
Gibbons has done nothing OF late to
startle the pugilistic realm, but his
record substantially bears out his class.

Looking over the field again, there
