LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE CONTENDER WILL MEET BEST WESTERN MAN 1T LEGION ARENA NOVEMBER 24
Thanksgiving day

White for the Thanksgiving day card.
 Reservations are already being
 made for the holiday bout, in fact re- quests for ringside seats were re- ceived by MT. Erhardt several weeks ago, when it first became known that he was negotiating with White for a
 Phoenix bout. The match has been
 under consideration for some time,
 but Erhardt withheld announcement
 until he had White signed to a Phoe-
 nix contract. With the receipt of
 yesterdays message stating that he
 would leave today for Phoenix. MT.
 Erhardt considered arrangements
 definite enough to announce the fight.
 The Thanksgiving card will be the
 first held under the rules and direct
 supervision of the Phoenix boxing
 commission and the fans are anxious
 to see how the new system works
 out For some time past the lady
 fans have been showing increased in
 terest in boxing and the promoters
 feel that under the commissions su-
 pervision the bouts will be kept up to
 the highest possible standard, with
 a total elimination of rowdyism, there
 by increasing the. number of lady
 fans who attend the boxing bouts. Matchmaker Erhardt announces that a high class preliminary card will be offered that will be in keep ing with the main event.
 Charlie White is not staging bouts to build local idols and he goes in to win as quickly as possible, as he proved when he beat Billy Alger at Fl Paso White could have stalled through half the fight without taking any chances on Alger slipping one over, but White is a business man as well as a fighter and he finished his work in the shortest possible | time.
 Regardless of who White meets in | Phoenix, the fans are assured of a real contest. Whites opponent will I be known this afternoon and Mir. Err hardt will arrange the rest of the | card just as soon as the main event 1 is decided. White and his opponent l will be here five days before the fight, as the commission has ruled, and all fighters will work in public at least three times before the bout. Whites appearance in Phoenix will | be the first time a lightweight of his 1 class has been matched in this sec ! tion, and Matchmaker Erhardt should 1 be commended for his work in ar
 ranging the card. No doubt the Eighth Street arena will be taxed on l the afternoon of the fight with fans | from every section of the Southwest. In order to avoid conflict with the 1 football game, MT. Erhardt is trying l to arrange the card for o'clock in l the afternoon. He had planned on starting the card at o'clock. but changed the time when it was learned l the football game was set for that 1 hour. Every effort will be made to
 Arrange the fight late enough to l avoid interfering with the grid game l A corps of laborers will start to l work on the Eighth Street arena this week to get the fight mill ready for

After long years of struggling through with mediocre fighters Phoe- nix fans will finally see a real light weight battler in action here Thanks giving afternoon.
 Charlie White, the greatest light weight in the game today and only logical contender for Benny Leonard's title. has been matched to fight any legitimate lightweight the Phoenix promoters may select. There are many fighters on the coast who claim to be lightweights, but White will not meet any man who cannot make the lightweight limit, 135 pounds. White has never refused to meet a lightweight in all his long years in the roped arena, and right now he is matched with Lew Tender for a De- cember bout.
 Mat hmaker Jake Erhardt received wire from White yesterday stating that he was leaving Chicago this morning and to arrange for training quarters, hotel accommodations and sparring partners. White also re- quested Matchmaker Erhardt to get in touch with a capable referee, naln- ing Abe Pollock, sports editor of the Denver Times, as his choice for ar bitter. MT. Erhardt believes White will be willing to abide by the selec- tion of the Phoenix boxing commits sion with two judges to assist in rendering the decision. White has never asked for judges in his fights, usually deciding the winner by the kayo route.
 E,rhardt has issued sweeping challenge to every lightweight on the Pacific coast, but to date has not been able to sign a suitable opponent for White. Jimmy Duffey, Oakland Frankie Burns, Gene Cline and Billy McCann have been considered. but no definite selection has been made. Duffey has been fighting as a light weight, but has not replied favorably to Erhardt's weight limit. It is re- garded as almost certain that one of the four named will be matched with

the holiday scrap. Additional bleach CT seats will be installed to handle the crowd and the present seating ar engagement will be renumbered to per init the early sale of reserved seats.
 The fight will be billed in every city ins the state, Fl Paso and the coast cities, and a large delegation Of outside fans will undoubtedly be at txacted to this city by the bout Whites reputation is world wide and his ability as fighter needs no in-. troduction to the fight fans of the country. If a suitable opponent Is selected Phoenix fans will be treated to the biggest and best fight card ever arranged in the Southwest.
