Z BIC EVENTS
ONF|GHT CARD
FRIDAY NIGHT

Kid Carlyle and Young Chico will
do n 10 rounder as the main event Of
a big double program to be staged at
the Capital City arena Friday night,
Matchmaker Joe LAWN announced
last night. The card is being put
on under the auspices OF the Neter-
ans of Foreign Wars. Other events
definitely determined upon include:
Red Briggs and Battling Scotty,
six rounds.
snowy Johnson and Babe Pena,
four rounds.
Rufus the Second and Young Ro-
mo. four rounds
Phoenix fans will get their first
opportunity to see the popular little
Miami battler in a main event when
he goes against Carlyle Friday night.
Chico has been clamoring for this
chance and was even willing TO try
conclusion with Ad Rubedouix. the
coast bantam, TO prove that he is en-
titled TO consideration.
In matching. him with Carlyle, how
ever. Matchmaker LAWN believes that
Chico will have his hands full. Car
lyle is probably the most popular boy
ever paraded before a Phoenix fight
crowd and he is deserving OF this
popularity because of his willingness
and his ability. In Chico. local fight
fans recognize that he will have his
hands full and a great little battle
should result when the pair gets into
the ring Friday night
Red Briggs and Battling Scotty is
the second main event at six rounds
will be another big number that
should please the fans. In the first
meeting between this pair. fans were
treated to some of the most exciting
ring work it had been their pleasure
to witness in months and there is no
reason to believe that the second en-
gagement will be any different. There
is still much speculation as to which
is the better man. Briggs has i'm
proved greatly since his first meet
ing with Scotty and the Battler is
back in form again after his illness
and long layoff. 1t viii be a give and
take engagement from gong to gong
unless all the dope goes wrong
The two preliminary events will be
up to the standard set by Match
maker LAWN in previous cards. Both
will be four round numbers with
action the watchword.
Popular prices will prevail for this
card. it was anpounced last night. The
general admission tickets will go 1T
one buck per throw with the reserved
seat section holding at double that
price, war tax paid in each instance.
The seat sale will start today at
Doyle's cigar stand.
