ROBERTS To
FIGHT ROPER
Staten Island Heavyweight is
Ready for "Capt. Bob" in
IL Round Bout Tomorrow

The much talked and advertised
big bout between Bob Roper OF
Chicago and Al. Roberts of Staten
Island will be held tomorrow night
at the Commonwealth Sporting Club
of Harlem at 135th street, between
Madison venue and Fifth avenue.
The event marks the inauguration
Of the first heavyweight bout in an
arena outside of Madison Square
Garden since the enactment Of the
Walker law.
Roper's appearance at the uptown
club is his initial debut here in the
east. He has fought the greater
part of his battles in the west. Ac-
cording to reports from the western
scribes. the former Army captain
shapes quite well as a heavyweight
possibility. His best work has been
against Bill Brennan, Frank Moran,
Harry Greb, Bob Martin, Tom Glib
bons. Homer Smith and BARLEY
Madden. Roper turned in a clean
score card with these boxers, with
but one decision against him-Harry
Greb.
Roberts, Billy Gibson's protege
who faces the westerner, really
stacks up against the first real hard
heavyweight since the Staten Island
er entered the game. Gibson ha:
personally handled Roberts for the
event and "Gib" feels confident his
entry will win the blue ribbon fol
the event.
Both boxers are in splendid shape
for their twelve round jaunt and nc
excuse can be offered from that
angle after the bell rings for the
final round.
The usual short events of four anc
six round schedule will precede ths
big bout.
