WILkESON BOYS
WILL BE STARS
OF EAGLE SHOW

Two young men who are doing
Imuch to put Wilkeson on the box

Eagles smoker Wednesday night.
Both Mike and Frank Pete are on
the card.
The Petes are fast boys, willing
to mix, and pack the kayo punch.
Frank Pete, who won from Joe
Hill few weeks, will engage the
lanky Leo Houck in one of the
bouts to be staged by the Eagles,
and this go promises to be a
speedy one. Houck is a good, ex-
perienced scrapper, and will make
Frank step fast. Wilkeson fans
expect their man to bring home the
pork, however.
Mike Pete meets AL Edison, a
young fellow who has been doing
a lot of milling around Seattle the
past few months. He will make
Mike extend himself, and the bat
Il tie promises to be q corker.
| Every one of the seven bouts
offered on the Eagles card should
be good. There are two main
events. Speedy Chef Neff and the
equally speedy frankie Sullivan
will hook up in one of the head
line numbers. Neff recently best
ed the sensational Muff Bronson,
while Sullivan cleaned up Charlie
Whites brother Jack New Years
day.
In the other main event Jack
Simms of Portland, will tangle
with Frank Farmer, and the Ore
gon boy looks good enough to
cause Frank some worry.
Walter Porsch and Charlie
Peterson will go four rounds, and
Joe Richmond, the pride of South
Tacoma, is to step around the
ring with Bud Ridley, the little fell
low who has come so rapidly of
late. Eddie Quinn will open the
show by tackling Kid Lee for
four rounds.
Tom Armstrong, armed with
mustache and gong, will keep
time, and Arthur Schoek will call
the decisions.
