Cappelle and Neff to Do Battle For Lightweight Title of the Southwest
 In Bout Before Phoenix A. (. Tonight

the Phoenix Athletic club Neff feels that he has something to atone for in his defeat at the hands of Cappelle Is months ago, the first time that he was ever beaten, and fully believes that he will be able to even scores with the bit of battling machinery from San Diego.
 On the other hand, Cappelle is not lacking in confidence and is determined to again cut short Neffs winning streak, even as he did on the first occasion.
 If hard work. good physical condi ton and his ruggedness serve him well, then Cappelle can be counted upon to give Neff one of the hardest bouts of his career. Never was Billy in better physical condition than at present
 T feel better than did when I first met Joe Rivers" stated Cappelle last evening.
 Cappelle, in his two previous bouts in this city has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to mix it with the best of them. He is one of the old school performers, one who is ever boring in, regardless of how fast or how hot the gloves are flying.
 CappeIie Is Tough Boy It has been said of Cappelle that he is one of the toughest boys since the days of Wolgast Joe Rivers himself attests to that fact. Once the willy Mexican said that Cappelle could stand even more punishment than could Wolgast.
 Rivers, in his day, was one of the hardest hitting lightweghts that ever donned the gloves. For nine rounds he battered Cappelle around the ring, landing almost at will and using his very best in an effort to put the San Diego boy away but never once did Cappelle falter. He just kept com ing on until his seconds threw in the sponge to save him unnecessary pun l ishment. " And so when Chet Neff faces Cap belle tonight, he is meeting boy who is not going to back away. Regardless of what he uses. Neff is going to find Cappelle ever coming after him. It has been said that Neff will out box Cappelle. There probably isn't a doubt in the world as to that phase, but will he out-game, outright and outpunch Cappelle?
 Those who know Cappelle when he is in good trim say that Neff will have couple of hands and a couple of feet full beating Billy. Neff himself does not underestimate the ability of his opponent as he intimated by going through one of the hardest training periods of his career.
