DOPE SHEET HAS ND
C|NCH ON MONDAYS
F|ST|C ENCOUNTERS

You can't beat the fight fan when it
comes to remaining faithful to the old
SOFA pillows. Keep your eve on the
Iau pirds who make the daily trip
from the main stem to the Lewis train
ing quarters, where they witch Billy
MCCAIN swat his partners, thence to
the American legion club to watch
foung France pummel his stable of
promising youngsters and back to town
70 inquire the dope sheet.
The inside boys will clock Mccain
through a strenuous afternoon and fig
ure the Eayo punch to bring home the
bacon. But a few minutes with the
france clan and the speed mixed with
cieverness and the boys are up in the
air
1t can't be done on workout. The
majority of the fans have seen France
IN action, but the training routine and
news reports are the only things to
back McCann's ability. The fans are
IN doubt as to the way France and Nc
cam Will fight. One fight and they
can figure the odds on any man-but
until Mccain steps a few rounds in the
arena its a hard line to dope. They
know Billy has the punch. and they can
see that he is clever after witching him
in the training quarters. He looks
good and is confident. Jimmy Curley
is SO confident of victory that ne is
already booking engagements in other
parts of the state on the strength of
Mondays victory. Great stuff, this
tanning game.
Any fan who ever watched Young
France in action against real miller
will tell you the Los Angeles kid knows
how to handle his mitts. The man
who beats France is all class. France
feels that he has the fight already
won, yet he refuses to make any rash
promises and is not Understanding
his opponent. France is real gentle
man well as fighter and his main
hope is to beat Mccain fairly. He asks
no odds and worries along with his
own peculiar style of fighting. Some
fans do not like France because he
and a half. Time after time the wise
ones have damned Jack Doyle's Yer
non arena to see France get wal
Hoped and each time he has edged over
the top with clean cut victory.
France is coaching Wildcat ELS fol-
his bout with Young Scotty Monday
night. The Wildcat is sure wild, not
in his defense but. his desire to fight
Ellis Graves fight and nothing more
If he can get in there and sWaI
punches with some big husky Alfred
can crawl out of the ring at the finish
and eat a square meal. If he doesn't
get action his conscience hurts hin
and will not even speak to his trainer
Mix Scotty and Ellis, with few ses-
sions of Spaw and Hooker; throw II
a curtain raiser with Dynamite Nc
Carthy and Nugent stepping for tbs
winners end. and top off with col
ored bout a la Ira O'Neil and BABE
CabelI-there's fight enough for am
fan But the Labor day card will hav'
one other big feature, the four-rounC
event staged by Andy Gardner ant
Young Maza. It's a safe bet this bou
will not go to the limit, as both lad
are in for blood. It's a sort of grudg
fight for winner take all and mic
little chunk of silver on the side
Gardner holds one decision over Maza
which Maza protests. AMY says h
can lick Maza any day in the weel
for any sum and any place in tn
world. They ratified the key board o.
the typewriter for five rounds befor
they decided to fight it out in the rims
Now they've signed and they expeS
to make it equal the world battle
