PUGILISTIC POTPOURRI

Since his second invasion of the Eas,
| Eddie Campi, the Frisco boxer, has in
| creased in avoirdupois. thus his debut in
! Philadelphia tonight as a featherweight
| And the former bantam who was one OF
the leading contenders for Kid Williams
| crown has mighty stiff fest for his
| first competition in the "22" division. He
| Will be opposed to Billy De Foe, of st.
Paul, In the star set-to before the Ma
tional Club patronage this evening
De Foe is a vicious puncher. This was
proved in his two previous matches here
with Eddie Morgan and frankie Nc
Manus. Billy keeps forcing the milling
throughout his best blow being a left
nook, and Mr. Campi may feel the eff
fects of southpaw semiswings unless he
is quick enough to get out of range
st. Paul has been placed on the pugilis-
tic map prominently the last two years
with such boxers as Mike and Tom Glib
bons, Mike O'Dowd, Johnny Ertle and
De Foe carrying the Minnesota city's col
ors. Another boxer from the Saint p. viii
lage has crossed to this side of the Mis-
sissippi to reap fame and fortune. Tonight
he makes his first appearance in the East,
and he will find his opponent. Frankie
White, pretty tough customer to assist
him in his debut
Two return matches-Franke Conifrey
VS.. Stanley Hinckle and Lew Singer VS.
Young Futon-are scheduled, and a tilt
between Darby Caspar and Billy Cahill
will be the opener.
