SMOKER TO Be STAGED
FOR BOXING FANS AT
RYAN HALL TONIGHT

Under the able direction of Bernie
Goldburg, leading promoter of fistic
bouts and other sports Of Portland, a
smoker will be staged in Ryan IS hall on
South Commercial street this evening.
Ardent followers of the great manly art
in Salem will have an opportunity to
pass Judgment upon some of the lads
who put the X in box when Mr.. Gold
burg lines up his string-six of 'em in
all.
Among the star actors who have been
making Portland fans sit up straight
and who are attracting attention all
over the Northwest, is Muff Brownson,
a veritable whirlwind on foot and pos
sessed of pair of hands which resem-
BILE playful lightning when in action.
Brownson has gained the rightful repu-
tation of "comer" in the fight realm
on the coast and his head and foot work
tonight promises to measure up fairly
with that which placed his name in
prominence. The speedy ones opponent
will be Silics Rexter, also of Portland.
Rexter is somewhat of veteran in the
boxing sport and is generally fa-
vorite with all who see him in action
In any event, Rexter without doubt will
stir up something pretty lively for
Brownson and Mr.. Goldburg is conf
dent that the Salem enthusiasts will
witness six rounds of Al work when
these two fellows square off.
Valley Trambutus rs. Tad BERKSHIRE
will furnish the spectators with the star
performance of the evening. Rerbshire
needs no introduction to even the lesser
lights in boxing fandom, as that chap
has walked rings around many would
be top notchers during the past year.
He has been selected to meet what Mr..
Goldberg honestly believes to be box
er with the inherent salent of cham
pion, as Trambutus has forged to the
front by taking the scalps of several
of the best who have been before audi
ences at smokers in Portland and 9TH
er cities. He cannot be considered
an unknown quantity while at the same
time the boy has yet to do his best and
for this reason BERKSHIRE has been
placed against him. It is not often that
Salem fans are favored with chance
to witness the "coming-out" of real
boxer, and this bout will amount to
just that to a great degree.
The well known boxer, Abe Gordon,
will also be on the program. He is an
other fighter who needs no Introduction
to the Salem sportsmen.
Kid Hartford is scheduled to meet
Gordon. Hartford is accustomed to
speeding fight along side of the favor
ties. He is, in fact, q hard man to
negotiate successfully unless the boxer
who takes the chance has action to
( bolster up his reputation, and the mum
! Der promises to breed some fine sport
and excitement.
The three teams will face each othei
for at least six rounds, and Director
Goldburg guarantees that each bout vii
arouse more than ordinary interest. The
promoter of this smoker managed Q
similar affair here last fair week with
nice success and the entertainment neXt
Monday will be no exception to the rule
In the absence Of other sports in Salem
this winter, the coming events are look
ed forward to with interest and in the
event this one proves successful, this
city will be made n regular meeting
place for the most popular boxers in Tho
future.
The admission will be ringsdc seat,
81 and all others so cents. These art
customary prices now prevailing ii
Portland at the boxing meetings.
