The pace-setting frankie DOGGY"
Hannigan of Staten Island will nave
to go some in order to stay with the
speedy South Amboy boxing repre-
Sentative of today, Rocky Walker.
Walker made a real showing in his
initial start before the fans of this
section at the last show of the Cen
ter A. C. and while Hannigan has
a great ring record, fans who have
seen Moe Forgotson's new man go
are confident that the bout will be
a fast six-rounder. This is the semi
final contest. Walker claims to
have fought Billy Murphy three
times and information furnished by
the local matchmaker is to the eff
feet that the South Amboy lad
twice met Johnny Buff, former fly
weight champion.
Peter Rebonish of Penn street,
boy, has trained hard in the knights
of Columbus rooms, under the
watchful eye of Tommy Fitzgerald,
for his fo%ur-round contest with j.
Clancy of Railway. Rebonish is
fast, has a good punch and big
things are expected of him. The
Railway lad is expected to live up
to his fighting name.
The second fOuf-round contest
will bring together Lester Apple
baum of Railway and Young Beav-
or of Elizabeth. The Betsytown
lad defeated Applebaum in Railway
during the summer and the latter
boxer has anxiously awaited a re-
turn crack at the only man who
holds a victory over him.
Young Cinzo of Carteret and
Frankie Gargano of Staten Island
are carded to battle in a four-round
bout. Both men are new in the
ring game and as a result should
give the fans plenty of action. Cinzo
fought at the last Center A. G. show
in this city and also at the last show
of the Roosevelt Boxing Club.
The opening f~our-round encount-
err will bring together Billy Lewis
of Westfield and Joe Russell OF
Newark. These two men engaged
in a bout some time ago, honors
being even at the close. RUSSELL
