Boxing fans OF this section of the
country will have a chance tonight to
snow whether they appreciate the eff
TORT that has been made by the Amer1
lean Legion here to give them a real
card. Tonight at S:15 the bell will
send Borchers Of Grand Forks, and
Of the university, against each
other in the six round curtain raiser
OF what will be the greatest ring event
dakota or western Minnesota. The
card is headed by first heavyweight
battle Grand Forks has seen in re-
cent years. BILLY Miske of st. Paul,
who has suffAredir defeat by only one
man in his career since he reached
the top Of the game, will oppose Bud
Ryder, aNeiant Iowan,, who seeks a
place In the heavyweight limelight.
The semi-windup will be fought be-
tween Battling Krause OF Bismarck.
and Perry Bliven of Grand Forks.
Hope For Crowd. 3,
Real boosters of the game here are
hoping that there will not be standing
room when the first bout begins, for
the reason that a full house tonight
Will mean that even better cards than
this will be put on by the Legion.
The promoters announced last
night that everything was in readi-
ness. The boxers are all in the city,
and a wire was received. from Leo
Kossick OF Moorhead, who is to ref
cree, that he would leave there at 3
o'clock, arriving in Grand Forks at
6:45 o'clock.
Billy Miske landed here yesterday
morning and spent the day in COM
looks in the prime of condition and
said that he was ready to travel the
ten rounds at top speed. He will re-
main M the city for several days and
expects to go out Sunday for a duck
hunt. He brought all his hunting toys
along and in addition to a shotgun,
his deer rifle, as he. will take a trip
into northern Minnesota with Jack
Reddy after leaving here.
Here Before. ...
Miske said that he was not alto
gether unfamiliar with this city as he
was here when he was II years old,
working on "a rivetting gang that aided
in the construction Of the Great
Northern bridge across the Red river.
he recalled that in those days it was
probably somewhat livelier on the
Point than at the present time.
All six principals in the evenings
entertainment will be guests at the ex-
service mems banquet in the Masonic
temple at 6 o'clock While none OF
them will do much eating. they will
be there to enjoy the festivities and
be introduced to the crowd.
Miske did not do any work yester-
day and the others simply Numbered
up. They will spend today In rest.
Both Miske and Ryder saidsthat they
had formed a habit Of keeping off
their feet a good share Of the time
on the day they had q match.
Much Speculation.
There is much speculation as to how
the Iowa giant will stack up against
the two-fsted St. Paul battler. Miske
said yesterday that he knew very little
about him other than that he was
credited with being a good boxer and
fairly al for q fellow as large as he
was. Ryder has not been in the Twin
Cities any length Of time and does not
expect to remain long. That he can
hit. goes without saying for the rea-
to his credit. The bout tonight prom
