Judging from the record he has
established in southern cities this
summer and during the spring, Har-
ry Foley, the Pacific coasts latest
pugilistic sensation who makes his
debut in a Tulsa ring next Friday
night when he boxes Hugh Walker
OF Kansas City in n scheduled l5-
round bout, is the most promising
lighthoavyweight of the year.

New Orleans and Memphis after a
