lightweight favorite Who gave
Johnny O'Leary and other boys
tough bouts In the old days. has
come back with bang and Is now
ready to step back to his native
heath and put the skids to some OF
the lads In this vicinity.
Chef Neff. Lloyd Madden. George
1ngie and Harry Anderson are all
invited to step into the swim and
get their feet wet by the old ia
vOrite
In q way. Williams return TO the
fistic game is a decided departure
from most of the so-called come
backs" Billy has really returned
and seems to be battling them In
the same old style. II not more so.
. II seems that IL would be a good
move to hook Billy up with some
Of our local prides and JOYS. He Is
just back from a trip East. where
he stood 'em on their ear. and has
been doing the same thing down In
Portland. The highly touted Pete
Mitschie didn't look like any boy
wonder" while In the ring with the
Seattle youth. say reports
BATTLING ABE GORDON. the
fastest little lad since Abe Attell.
Is a Seattle visitor and expects to
stop here long enough to coax Bud
Ridley, AL Davies or Willie Netro
into the ring with him for little
slapfesf.
Battling Abe left Portland
couple Of years back. and since
then has hooked up with some Of
the country's class in the fly and
bantam divisions His stationery
SAYS he challenges the world at ll6
pounds rlngside. and his brother,
Hynie. who Is handling the bust
ness affairs OF both Abe and Sam
my. a younger brother. backs up
the claims.
While in Denver. Abe turned
loose and cleaned up on all the
lads In short order He won every
thing from one-punch bouts to 10
round affairs
CLIFF REED. Los Angeles light
weight. is another 135-pounder 50
tourning In our midst who Is
anxious TO display his assortment
OF pokes and iabs as well as an
occasional X. o.
Cliff is highly recommended by
kid" Dobie, an old-timer who has
taken him under his wing and
wants TO put him against the best
lightweights In this section.
Dobie also wants to do little
mitt singing. being anxious to step
into the ring with AL Davies over a
long distance tango.
Among those whom Reed has
fought are listed Eddie shannon.
the Frisco gladiator, and Pete
Mitschie.
Clippings show Reed lost hair
line decision in 10 rounds to the
Portland lad. A knockdown in one OF
the early rounds cost him the
battle.
VALLEY TRAMBITAS, the Port
land middIeweight, is still another
mitt singer who Is itching 10 step
out before Seattle boxing audience.
Valley is back In the Rose City
after a more or less successful In
vasion OF California. In the South
ern state he lost TO Battling" Or
tega, but not until he had given the
Mexican the hardest fracss he had
engaged In up to that time.
Trambitas fought Frank Farmer
here In his only appearance in Sc
attic, but the logger.boxer was too
big for the Portlander to make
showing with. Matched with a boy
Of hts weight and ability. the Ore
gon youth always puts up bout
that IL O. winner with the fans. He

mixer.

something different than the boys
who have been seen 40 often OF
late. Among those In town IL
Billy Wright. the welterweight,
just back from Californi
