Will Meet Mike Cassidy,

round headline event at Havre tonor-
row Saturday., which will bring to-
gesher Earl France, western light
weight champion, and Mike Cassidy,

Montana Cassidy is little known for
his fighting ability here and many are
wondering whether he will appear as a
stumbling block in the path of the
fighting lawyer. who has not lost
decision in Montana and who is rap
idly bringing the eyes of the boxing
world Upon him by the decisions over
such boys as he has fought in Mon
tana rings.

the Californian. Had not Fowler been
called to Lewistown Tuesday to sub
stitute for Otto Wallace, Milwaukee
lightweight, against Charlie Mccarthy,
it is very probable that he would have
fought a return go with the western
champion, but it would have proved
pretty tough battle, after fighting a
winning fight against a boy of McCar-
thv's caliber.
