Local Bantam and st. Paul Battler Will
Go Ten Rounds Tomorrow Night
at Iowa City.

Eddie Evers Of Rock Island will take
on Kid Barone of St Paul in a 10
round go tomorrow before the Iowa
City Athletic club. Although little is
known of Barone in this locality the

Ertle to a draw in 10 rounds, before
"Kwepie" left on his eastern invasion.
Evers and Barone will weigh in at 116
pounds. In the prelims Young Francis
and Mickey Mckay, both of Rock Is
land, will mix six rounds and Young
Morgan of Davenport will take on Mid
Moha of Oshkosh over the same dis
lance.
George Dams, Evers' manager, today
received articles from Billy Hoke,
Minneapolis promoter, for a 10-round
bout between the local boy and Roy
Moore for May 10. Hoke offered two
one-way railroad tickets in the agree
ment and Dams will not accept the
offer unless he can offer round-trip
tickets. Should this bout be closed
Dams will cancel Evers match with
