PLAN BOXING CARD
HERE IN JANUARY

Richmond fight fans are planning

shown here within the next six weeks.
Interest in boxing has revived here.

Gently at the Coliseum, In which about
900 fans were the only ones whip
ped" promoters of the game claim
that q good crowd will turn out for a
first rate show.
The latest bill as outlined would in
clude Jack Dillon and some other high
class heavy as the chief attraction.
Dick O'Brten, of Cincinnati, has been
prominently mentioned as an oppon.
ent for the "Hoosier Bearcat" "Yank"
Druley. one of the best middle weights
in this section seems to have caught
the fancy Of a large number of fans
and will probably be included on this
bill.
Bill Ryan, recently defeated by Mike
Gibbons in ten round scrap, has
been mentioned as an opponent for
Druley. Ryan is one of the top-notch-
ers Of his weight and is picked by
critics as q future champ. He is only
20 years old.

Whitewater Basketball
Planning for Hard Game

WHITEWATER, Ind, Dec. 23-The
defeat sustained by the Whitewater
basketball quintet at the hands Of
Cambridge City last Friday evening, is
ranking in the hearts of the White
water rooters and furious scrap is
forthcoming when Cambridge City
plays game on January %.
Whitewater started the season in
great shape but has fallen down dur
ing the past month. The inability Of
the first string players to finish a game
is blamed for the last minute defeats
sustained. Both Fountain City. Cam.
bridge City defeated Whitewater in
the last few minutes OF play, and after
substitutes had been sent in the game.
The local team is confident Of max
ing a good showing in the district
tournament at Richmond, next March.
The Christmas vacation Is being spent
by the members of the basketball
squad in conditioning themselves for
the hard grind boxed for after Christ
mas. Hagerstown, Cambridge City
and Centcrville are three OF the teams

Jimmy Wilde.

Probably the most interesting event
Of the year to the fistic enthusiasts
was the keeling over of Jess Willard
by Jack Dempsey. But the arrival Of
Jimmy Wilde, the English flyweight,

be ranked next to the Fourth Of July
event in importance.

was outpointed by Jack Sharkey in
the Briton's first appearance in the
United States. but lived up to h. rep
Of being a mighty fast and clever
boy.
