 Pena is popular with the Mexican colony due to his record both before leaving Arizona and since taking up Jack Doyle's game. Pena has bat tied three times in Phoenix, winning three bouts. He fought Kid La Sale two times in his two first Phoenix scraps and he won both via the kayo. Pena's last fight here was against Cyclone Briggs of Fl Paso. Briggs and Pena fought six rounds at the Eighth Street arena beating the bor- der dinge in every round.
 O'Neirs record stamps him one of the best bets in Phoenix. He has de- feated every man he went against since his unpleasantness with Rufus Williams. It took Ira some time to . recover from the effects of that fight. but his last foAr starts have been kayos Ira is developing his punch. and coupled with his defensive skill he is formidable opponent for any of the southwestern middle weights.
 Young Rivers covered a whole lot of territory when he Challenged Young Mike to battle. Mike has new CT been defeated and he Hslally sleeps his opponsfits. Rivers is prob ably the toughest Opponent yet matched for him and the fans will be anxious to see how he gets over the hill Rivers is a game and willing lad with two good mitts and more d thinking power than the average scrarper
 The Rufus Romeo bout will be the fourth meeting of this pair with in structions for a clean victory one way or the other or no money. Ro- meo has been handed several nice decisions with Rufus doing the work This time Romeo will earn all he gets and if he gets in the harness he will give Rufus The Two something te worry about.
 Wildcat Johns has taken a chance at all the boys. He is sort of tria horse for the matchnnalzers and h. keeps right on trying. He is a goot fighter when in condition. Little i known of Speedy Flynn outside O his showing in the workout. H, looks very good in training.
 Battling Sam is just as good toda, as he was last year, he doesn't ge any worse and he may get better This will be his last chance to whil somebody and Soldier Brown is slateC for the bill. Sam says it is whil Brown or quit fighting and Browl says Sam has already sold his fight ing trunks.
