- when II looks as If sct-up is being
served, was proved unanimously in Bos-
ton Thursday night. when Mike O'Dowd
was beaten for his title by Johnny vii
son, entirely unknown to the tistic
world at large, outside of the city of
culture. Tonight at the National Club
Young Joe Borrell. local Italian welter-
weight. is 10 stack up against hefty
hitter in Steve Latzo, of Hazleton, Pa.
Steve isn't a champion still he is rec
ognized as a mighty good battler. Bor-
rell also possesses n mean wallop. but
Latzo. according TO the know boys,
looks like the winner. But-as in base
ball-onc never can tell. Borrell is not
only vicious punCher, but he also is
tough, rugged and aggressive. All Of
which means Steve will have no CinCh.
Willie McCloskey will 60 on in the
semi final with Tommy Jamison as the
person of the second part. In tho
opener Joe Cervino will send his bald
boy after the scalp of Tommy Buck,
with other contests as follows: Jimmy
