the dope, on my idea Of the all-star
card that is being staked at the Elks
tonight l went down to the Capital
City arena Sunday afternoon and
gave the boys the once over. and
think that it is a card that the fans
of any larger city would be proud to
witness. At %. m. Jack Lynch, the
middleweight, entered the ring for
his workout, which was a very light
one. He shadow boxed for two
rounds, skipped the rope for couple
of rounds and small amount of
limbering up exercises. But ! want
you to know that this boy is safe
bet. He has a wonderful left and he
knows how and when to use 1t. But
don't overlook the fact that he Is not
crippled in the right arm either. And
he is q very good -looking opponent
for the fighting boy. Conley. / think
that the match between these two
boys will 20 the limit. He has
reach that is wonder, and any time
that you get within his range there
is going to be something to think
about.
Among the other boys that worked
out Sunday was Chet Neff, who
meets Kid Mex. Neff is a fast boy
and looks like he will give the Kid
all he can do il he even gets a draw.
He steps around like a featherweight
and has a knack OF dishing them up
from all angles. He has the appear
ance of having q jaw that can stand
lot Of good hard jolts. From Kid
Mex's workout | think that he will
have to put the old chin to the test.
The Kid is no truck horse on his feet.
He is built like a heavyweight. He
shows that he knows what 1t means
to use his hands, and the ringworms
will see q fast bout between these
two boys. Neff skipped the rope for
three rounds, shadow boxed for two
rounds, and took light limbering up
exercises for three rounds. None of
the boys who are going to show
their wares tonight worked hard, as
they are saving their steam and
punching powers for the big show.
Kid Mex took a light work k-out for
the day, skipping the rope for two
rounds, shadow boxing for three
rounds and other light work for
three rounds. The Kid looks good
for his fight here tonight and this
one bout alone will be we'll worth the
price Of admission.
Cordova and Carlyle each took
few rounds Of limbering UP and they
are in the finest Of condition for their
set-to. They will both enter the ring
tonight with one idea in mind, that is
to win and do it quick.
Soldier Brown took a little turn
around the roped arena to give the
wild -eyed fistic bugs squint at him.
He is going in tonight for the scalp
Of Lefty Lewis, but Lefty says that
| he is somewhat Of a scalper himself,
and he is going to try and beat Brown
| to the finish. And as there is no
brotherly love between these two
boys, we should see one OF them
score X. o.
At s:15 Billy Conley entered the
ring for his daily breeze. There is
going to be a lot of trouble for Jack
| old boy unless he watches himself
when he enters the ring for his go
! tonight. This is going to be real
battle. This Conley person is a bad
bad actor. He Is a heavyweight when
it comes to handing out the old sleep
| ing powders: he is a fast boy and
will make the best of his class end
weight show all they've got to beat
| him or even get a draw. He will ex-
| change wallop for wallop, and If Jack
| will do likewise it will be one of the
| gamest and hardest contests ever
staged in Phoenix. The boys are both
young and filled with self confidence
/ ana whoever comes out WITH the COL
ors flying will have a good sized
mans job on his hands.
Joe Matranga put in an appearance
| for light workout Sunday afternoon.
| At the first glance at this new arrived
one things that he is coming face to
| face with the famous Georges Car
pentier who came here to try and
win the championship from our hand
some Jack Dempsey, and went back
| to France with his feelings hurt. This
youngster is a fast boy and looks
| like he will give any lad of his own
weight a good going over at any time.
| Matranga shadow boxed for about
four rounds, and he Is so fast and
| light on his feet that he never mussed
the part in his hair Gall the same
| Bennie Leonard). Matranga has
| fought some of the best boys in the
business today. He fought before the
| largest crowd of fight fans that ever
Witnessed a fistic battle in the world,
and he fought on the same card with
| Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpen-
| tier. He fought the semi-final to the
greatest card that ever has been wit
messed at any time or in any coun-
try. And any time that the fistic
fans have a chance TO see this boy in
action they viii say that he is a
piece OF fighting machinery
Opportunity is a funny thing
have known players to wait for years
10 get their chance while others had
1t literally thrust on them.
