You're right !" said the Cash Customer

two good boxers to make good fight T"
Johnny Cashill of st. Paul, and frankie
White had Just left the ring at the Ma
tional, Saturday night, amid thunderous
applause, after the visitor had made one
of the greatest Impressions OF any boxer
here this season. Both fans admitted
their dope was correct-and 1t was, too.
History in Philadelphia boxing proves
that many star performers have been
killed off from further competition here be-
cause they did not show we'll on their first
appearance. Yet Il really wasn't the out
of-town boxers fault. The one picked as
a trial horse discovered his opponent had
class and spoiled hostilitles by stalling,
thus handicappng the newcomer.
matchmaking apparently is not an easy
business and necessitates much head
work. Jack MeGuigan chose the most
willing 126-pounder here and one who will
give any one tough setto. in White to
assist in Cashllls debut. White was out

about three rounds White was unable to
land good punch on the st. Paul boy,

wonderful exhibition, which probably will
guarantee him some good matches here.
Still, White must not be forgotten, for he
helped the Westerner to make good by his
willingness. and II probably Is safe to
say that frankie would fight the same
way against a champion.
Another good battle was the repeater
between Lew Stinger and Young Fulton,
the former winning after 1S minutes of al
most continuous slugging. On several oc-
casions the fighters stood head to head and
exchanged punches for fully 80 seconds at
a time.
