NJ TIME WASTED BY
 SAN PEDRO BUY IN
 GETTING ||VTO TRIM

l Billy Cappelle, lightweight boxer, started intensive training today for his coming match with Leo Houck before the Phoenix Athletic club next Friday. l Cappelle has yet to suffer defeat by 1 the knockout route although he has participated in more than a hundred ring battles.
 1 The San Pedro lad goes at his work as if he meant business. After doing a, fast turn of three miles on the road early yesterday morning, he rested un- 1 til mid-afternOon when he went to his l temporary training quarters and went six fast rounds.
 He shadow boxed, skipped the rope, punched the bag. in fact went 1 through all the paces necessary to put him in proper trim for a hard bout 1 Cappelle has the markings of a real performer. He has the shoulders of, a ] FftZsimmons. He is still a little large aroung the waist but good hard work will reduce his belt line to the proper shape. In his six rounds yesterday, two each against three different sparring partners. Cappelle showed a
 terrific wallop. He is a wo-fisted 1 fighter and comes from the same school as Battling Nelson and Ad Vol gast. There isn't an over abundance of cleverness about his work although he is a smart ring general and a splen- did judge of distance. He handles himself in fashion that bespeaks long experience.
 In Houck, Cappelle is meeting a
 performer fashioned after his own
 heart The lanky Seattle boy, built
 much the same as was Joe Cans, is as fast as a streak of lightning. But Houck does not use this speed to get away from his opponents; only to get close to them. He is a slugger and
 in his recent bouts before Jack Doyle $ Vernon Athletic club has always
Arizona republican., 1919-06-29

shown himself willing to exchange blows with the best of them.
 Houck didn't arrive in Phoenix un- til late yesterday and in consequence, didn't have much time to devote to his training work. He did jump into his togs for a few minutes, however. just to Timber up his muscles after the ride from Los Angeles.
 From the appearance of the two principals of the main bout, Phoeni- clans are going to see real bout next Friday at Arcadia hall. It will be the first meeting between Houck and Cappelle.
 Two other fast events will be includ- ed on the evenings program, including four-round curtain raiser and a six round semi final. This will make 20 rounds of boxing altogether.
 w. A. Wadhams, official match maker for the Phoenix Athletic club, will be unable to attend the opening bout here but has assured directors of the club that he will attend the sec ind match, date of which will be an nounced later
 Selection of a third man for the Cappelle- H puck match will be made Monday. it is expected.

limit. The following week he takes it easy. Then the next week he preps himself for another battle. His sched- ule is such that he will be training the week of the big show, July Fourth, and will be ready to go full speed the day of the bout.
 The merits of this system are left for another discussion.
