ting 'en1 away by the knockout route with convincing regularity lately. Eddie Hughes, a rugged and tough muscled youth from the southwest shaft, has challenged Collins with the assertion that he can put the husky Bob away without difficulty As Col lins is the pride of the Briggs shaft, it IS believed that the miners of the district will immediately range them selves on the side of one or the oti.or of the heavies. Southwest men are strong in their assertion that Hughes is going to bring Collins to the mat, while the Collins supporters, many of whom are employed at the Briggs, are confident that nothing less than q battering ram can prevail against him This fight alone is go- ing to be worth the price of admis sion.
 In one Of the preliminaries, Georgie Burns, the clever and hard-hitting boxer who took the fight out of Kid Hartman in one round on Armistice Day, will meet Kid Higgins, the rangy youth who slammed him to a drew on Nov T. Burns has made a generally good impression by the manner in which he carries himself and the way in which he lets 'em go from the shoulder, while Higgins is more than able to take care of him. self.
 It is considered probable that Al Mauch and Frank Ford will also ap- pear on the card. Mauch created a good impression here in his previous fights, but met his Waterloo in his scrap with Bob Collins on october "A. On Nov z, however, Collins handed the same kind of birthday gift to Ford In both cases, however, Collins outweighed both his oppo- nents, and fans are assured that they are going to witness an even and a hard fight.
 The program for Nov. q will be staged at the Grand theater.

GOOD MATCH IN sAFFoRp

Nothing is claiming the attention of amusement lovers in Graham coun- ty just quite so much as cae cc-1lng ten-round bout between Chet Neff, who boxed Eddie shannon to a draw in Stafford recently, and Robbie Waugh, the San Antonio whirlwind, who has a record of victories as long as the A. E. F.
 Neff can be relied upon to keep any mixer in his class awful busy and Waugh has the same reputation-so there is no daubt about a fast ten rounder Saturday night in Stafford.

Burns and Higgins
 Will Meet Nov. 21

Through an anadvertent error in a story in yesterdays Review con- cerning the boxing contests at War ren park on Armistice Day. it was said that Kid Higgins had been knocked out by Kid Burns in the first round of scheduled four-round preliminary. The boxer who went down under the hard pummeling of Burns was Kid Hartman, who put up fast fight until the sleep-pro- ducer was slipped over
 Kid Higgins fought Burns to a good draw at the Grand theatre on November 2 and in the opinion of some of the fans, had a little better of the argument. He and Burns will meet again on November 21. Hig gins chief quality is his recupera- tive powers, which allowed him to stage comebacks when the going seemed to be all against him. He packs a nifty wallop and his go with Burns should be all that the fans should want to see in a preliminary.

When Johnnie Celmars of Los An 5eles and Frank Loughery of Bisbee met at the Grand theater on October S4 in the first bout to be staged by the Bisbee Athletic club, fans de- clared that the bill was the best to be offered here for long time When, in the second card, Celmars and Russell Chambers Of Douglas slugged through 10 rounds of honest-to-good- ness battle, a crowded house said that the program could not be i'm proved upon. In the third card to be staged by the club, the date of which is Nov. 21, O. s. French manager of the club, and Frank Loughery, the clubs matchmaker, believe that they are going to- give Warren district fight enthusiasts the surprise of the winter.
 On that date, Nov 21, Kid George, the husky middleweight who has been living in Bisbee for several weeks, and who has devoted much of his time while here to training Rus sell Chambers, will meet Walter Caldwell of Albuquerque in a 10- round session which, in the mind of George at least, is going to mean the definite defeat of the New Mexico whirlwind.
 As fans in the Warren district talk of the Loughery-Celmars battle as Bisbee's p-cmic- fistic event, so the fans Of New Mexico swear that the battle between George and Caldwell in Albuquerque on October IS was the fastest and bitteTest fight ever staged in that state.
 For 15 rounds of continued fight ing, Kid George and Caldwell fought toe 10 toe. George had arisen from 8 sick bed to meet the New Mexican, and in every session slugged blow for blow with his opponent until the spectators went wild with excite ment. In the fifteenth round Cald- well rushed him over the ropes and to the floor below, and before he could climb back in the ring he was counted out.
 Now George wants to reverse the standing. Since the fight he has been nursing himself back to health, working out carefully to put himself in the best of condition for the fight with Caldwell that he knew was to come some time. Now that the9d5te has been given him by MsnaEeJ- French, those who are acquafnted with the details of his fight with Caldwell are looking for the fiercest ring battle ever presented in Kisbee.
 Kid George started his training yesterday at the Knights of Column bus hall, where a quantity of new athletic apparatus has been installed. His first workout was light, but from today on he will give himself a thor ough training. He is already in su- perb condition, but he is not taking any chances. as he wants this fight to mean a decisive victory for him self over Caldwell. His sparring partner during the workout period will be Bob Collins, the husky heavy weight. who also fights on Nov. 21.
 Caldwell is already training in New Mexico, and will be in Bisbee the latter part of this week to com plete his conditioning. He is said to be a clever, hard-fisted boxer, with a punch in either hand.
 The semi-final which has also been arranged by MaINger French, should attract as many fans as the main event, for it's outcome will mean all most an entire career to Bob Collins, the heavyweight who has been put
