 FEATURE CARD
 IF FIGHT CLUB

Offering to surprise to Warren dis trict fight fans, o. s.

Interest in the fight Is said to be running high in Douglas, where Chambers has become a popular idol, while .Celmars is making friends every day in Bisbee.

U. A. TO PLAY POMONA.

Their confidence strengthened by their decisive victory over the New Mexico Aggies last Friday, the Wild cats of the University of Arizona will meet the grid stars of Pomona col lege in Tucson Saturday, with the determination to vanquish them in the same way. Arizona varsity has now won all of the five games that have been played so far without be- ing scored against. Never, this year, has the opposing team been able to carry the oval across the Arizona line. The last two games that Ari zona has played with Pomona have ended disastrously for the Native Sons, and it is expected that Pomona will try harder than ever this year to recoup her losses and redeem her self. Already this year Pomona has been on a rampage and cleaned up nearly everything in southern Cali fornia.

Challenger Martin
 Is Faster Man Than
 Champion Dempsey
By JIMMY DUNN Who Piloted kiIbane to the Hkannnfnnehin


 Bob Martin is a wonder. He is ready right now to whip any man in the heavyweight ranks, excepting Fred Fulton and Jack Dempsey. In couple of more bouts he would be ready for Fulton. After he has waded through the present list of heavy weight aspirants he'll be ready for Dempsey and when those two get into the ring I want to be there.
 Martin is the fastest heavyweight l ever saw in the ring. He's faster than Dempsey. He's as fast as a lightweight.
 Of course, Martin needs ring exper- fence before he can take on Dempsey. But hell wade through the others and then will be ready for Dempsey, and he'll give a good account of himself at that time.
 Martins work against Bonds was wonderful. I thought beforehand he likely would outpoint Bonds, but didn't think he'd Overwhelm him as he did. Bonds is a clever boy, but Martin was so fast he made Bonds look like bum.
 Lots folks don't give Martin the credit that is due him. He's great fighter right now.
 He has two hands and he knows just what they're for. He hits hard with either. Bonds took a terrible punishment, but then Bonds is a tough bird and hard to knock out
 Martin was on top of his man all

 He took no wild swings. His aim was good at all times. And when he attacked you couldn't tell which hand was going out first. He strikes in such a manner that blow for the head or a blow for the body looks the same.
 He'd have the same mastery over Cap Roper or Willie Meehan.
