Next Big Show at Ardmore
Club.

Andy Cortez, the metropolitan light
weight champion. has been matched to
travel fifteen rounds with Tommy
Lowe, Washington's crack lightweight
performer, at the Ardmore Club on
February 8. Inasmuch as Cortez is
considered one Of the hardest working
boxers around New York, this bout
should prove a hummer. loves strong
point is his clever glove work. and he
will have to exert all his skill along this
line to keep Cortez away from him.
Both principals will weigh in at 1888
pounds at O'Clock the night of the
bout.
The semi-final has been arranged for
Young Thomas, Washington's most
promising featherwHight TO go eight

they want to fight to the finish. If this
