ON July FOURTH
LEG|ONPR0CRAM

Fighting Dick Campbell will get
real chance to show his fistlc wares
when the American legion stages It's
big independence Day program at the
Eighth street arena Tuesday night,
July A. Announcement was made by
the legion matchmaker last night
that Campbell had been signed TO
meet Soldier Brown in a six-round
special on the July card.
The Campbell Brown event is one
for which the local fans have been
waiting these many months and the
legion matchmaker feels certain
pride in being able to bring them to-
sether at this time. especially in
view of Campbells work against Joe
Rivers last week.
Brown is the type of battler that
will give Dick a real argument; in
fact, a great many local fans will
have their money on the soldier when
they get together to settle differ

Considerable rivalry exists between
the pair and it will be no brotherly
love feast when they get into the ring.
Campbell will have slight weight
advantage on Brown, but the soldier
saws he could spot Dick 10 additional
pounds and still beat him.
Brown is one of the most active OF
the local crop of preliminary boys
and one of the most popular. He's

had him beaten so far that he got

Campbell has pugilistic aspirations.
He believes that within another year
he will bt fighting main events in
Phoenix and on the coast, so he
doesn't care how fast they bring on
opponents for him nor does he care

faithfully and is in shape to go 10
rounds at top speed, If necessary.
The Campbell Brown engagement
will support the 10-round main event
between, Soldier Jack Lynch of Pres
colt and Tiger Johnny Cline OF
Fresno. Two other good events are
promised by the legion matchmaker,
one an eight-round semi final and
the other a six-round opener, giving
so rounds of milling altogether.
The Lynch Cline bout is conceded
bya fans to be one of the best main
events possible for Phoenix at this
time. Both boys are going good now
and Cline is at the top of his form
after more than three weeks of hard
training. The Tiger says he never
felt better.
Lynch has agreed to do 154 pounds
at 4 o'clock on the afternoon OF the
fight for Cline. This will give him a
three or four pound weight advan-
taEe, as Cline says he will scale
around 150 pounds for the July
melee.
Other members on. the program
will be announced by the legion
matchmaker within the next few
