to a draw. Conley is generally looked
upon In the south as the best In
his division.
But Kuhn is going to have to do
some stepping to hold his own with
Smith. During the past 10 months
the Bartlesville scrapper has been
going at his best, disposing Of many
tough boys in oklahoma and Texas
rings. His physical condition appar-
emily is better than at any time in
his long ring career.
Real Siuggors, Roth.
For some time the Tulsa boxing
public has been waiting 20 SEQ smith
when he was going at his best with
n man ~ his own weight and one
that follows about the same tactics
In the ring. Neither Smith nor Kuhn
will ever win a blue ribbon for fancy
boxing. although both are eNpe-
rienced In ring generashlp, and both
are packing a swat in either mitt
that Is not nice 10 take on tho end
OF the nose. and Is fatal on the
point of the Jaw.
Unless all predictions go astray
this pair Of middles are going TO
stage one Of the prettlest sluEging
matches seen in Tulsa for many "a
day II looks like the fans are going
10 get a real fighting game. For il
must be remembered that when
Kuhn met Smith in Shreveport
Smith was sent To the canvass three
times In the first four rounds, and
nothing but the ability OF the Bar
tlesville scrapper TO assimllate pun
ishment and rocupcratc enabled him
TO come back each time and finally
win a decision.
Another Main Event.
And then there IL that little argu~
ment between frankie Osnor. OF
Tulsa who has been fighting rings
around every one he met here this
season who Is booked to hitch up
with Bobby Hughes. that little fight
Ing demon from New Orleans who IL
a real ring general and carries a
waliop in either glove.
It's even money. White Hughes is
a finished scrapper and has the edge
over the Tulsa youth I'm years Of ox-
perience and quality Of opponents.
Osner Is no slOuCh and more than a
handful for anyone In the entire
division. Osner has the edge In
height, weight and reach and has
been training for this match, which
will probably be the best and most
important OF his career.
Hughes was n favorite here in the
past when he met and routed every
one In his class in these parts and
has been going Ike house afire
recently in the southland. Osner has
been working overtime training
down and has a host OF followers
over the city now. lt Ia tho old
against the new, and no odds Of
fered.
Brilliant Opener.
The opening clash OF the all-star
program, finds Joe CKid) Spack,
the fighting Tulsa newsboy, staring
Duke Duvoi OF Lawton in the face.
There is bound to be n bushel OF
action spilled in this 12-round en-
counter. Spack has really been train
ing for tonights scrap and is conf
dent that he will send the 1awton
boy back home sans decision, sans
everything. and maybe less than that.
Spack has fought some great fights
and some that failed to pass mus
ter. lie Is banking high on putting
Duvol on the blank while Patsy
Corrigan, manager OF Duvol, says
the fights the thing and the little
boy from the Red river section will
show the Tulsa newsboy n few
wrinkles about the game.
OsHeT, oHltn ana SpdCk are tlSnt-
Ing to mako good in Tulsa and to
build for more bouts here this win
ter. Osner is after a clean cut victory
over. Hughes 20 keep his record
right. while Smith and Spack are
bidding for public approval and are
putting everything they have into
tonights card 10 gain the o. X, OF
the fans.
Harry Pouder, who won the name
as one OF the greatest referees who
ever came to Tulsa here recently
when he stopped the jeff Smith and
Jackie Clarke bout and made the
men fight, will be the third man in
the ring tonight, Louis Newman,
announced last night.
