Young Denny and Tommy Kelly. 10
Founders, ring VI the asbestos shade
at $50, sharp. with a quartet OF punch
! swapping sessions. This promises well.
Both men are local neophytes in the
! squared circle and anxious to start a
rep on the resined surface. Following
their tangle, X. q. Lacy of Kansas City
and Bobby Lambert of Spokane take
their $50 pounds of scrapplng ability
into the arena and go for Il half dozen
cantos. This is the first appearance Of
either; of these boys in a local ring.
Bross to Scrap Ranieri
Old friends will bow in the semi
windup. Pete Bross and Marine Ranierl
having eight rounds to settle. Pete is
giving away poundage here, and the
mill will be between a middleweight and
a man on the low edge of the light
heavyweight division. Pete has not
done any boxing in the workouts but
looks top shape and ready for the go.
Ranieri may not be quite up 10 Pete,s
level as a boxer, but he has enough
medicine in either mitt to jar Peter.
badly when he lands. He is no punch
! waster, either. and will probably bide
his time to get EN- through. Pete is
not q scrappe who is easy to knock
! out. but there is danger here for him
if Ranieri connects. Nor is Ranieri
easily spilled off his sturdy pins. and
looks fit to take a flock Of punish
ment.
All the card personnel are directed

that he could annex a pair of world
titles if matched with this pair.
Gordon Rugged Scrapper
Gordon, his opponent tonight, is a
rugged scrapper, who has batted his
way to the top up and down the Pa
cific slope, and comes here rated one
of the hardest punching 124- pounders
in the game today. ,
Sammy is, like Dillon. young in years
but seasoned in the ring. He made
his debut while still in short pants. at
the age Of IA, and he has been steadily
climbing since. His long suite is de-
clared to be his heart. and he has never

Gordon has no fear of the Minneap-
