Plasterer Expected to
Suppress ''West Side
Terror in Garden Bout
Gladys Robinson
By lack Lawrence

Fred Fulton, the plastic plasterer
will display his uncertain wares at
Madison Square Garden next Friday
night in a twcve-round decision fight
with a gent named BARLEY Madden
This is the sort OF {. bout in which the
pallid plaste1er should shine, unless
perchance. BartIey should absentmind-
edly bop Freddie on the point of his
parafne chin and dissolve all the bel
ligerency that occasionally animatcs
his system.
Bartley is being advertised as The
West Side Terror. rhich is probably
something of an eva ggeration. The
West Side hasn't had real terror
since the distressing days of Inspector
Dominic Henry. If BARLEY has ter
rorized the district he has been singu-
larly secretive about it.
Fred Fulton should have no trouble
in suppressing Madden. The latter
should prove soft mark in which TO
GOMEZ back on the part OF the pensivc
plasterer. If Freddie should go down
before the unculturcd wallops of Mis-
ter Madden he might as we'll renew his
card in the United and Protective
Plastercrs Union, Local 899 Rochester,
MINI. There seems to be small chance
of this, however.
Levinsky to Meet Tunney
The Fulton Madden disturbance Will
top an unusually interesting card.
The semi-hnal will see Battling lie
whisky, who may or may not be the
American ight-heavywcight champion,
in action against Gene Tunney, the
pride of all the tea rooms and studios
in Greenwich Village. 1t will be in
teresting to see what Tunney can do
against the clever and experienced de-
fense of the Battler. This affair, like
the headliner, will go twelve rounds.
Two eight-round engagements will
bring together X. O. Phil belmont and
Joe Reno, of Trenton, n. j.. and the
second will see Fay Keser and Jimmy
Darcy in action. Both should be we'll
worth watching.
All hstic trails tomorrow night will
lead to the Atm Regiment Armory, in
Jersey City. where Mickey Walker, the
Elizabeth Thundcrb bolt-whatever that
is-wll meet Johnny Grifft.', of
Akron, Ohio. in a battle Of twelve
rounds. The result will be watched
with keen interest by fight fans IN gen
eral, as Mickey is the boy who is al
legged to have been named as one of the
prime ipa!S IN HoU,uUU OHcr maze DV a
Jersey syndicate for a scrap with
either Jack Brtton or Benny Leonard,
to take place on july A or Labor Day.
This offer, according to Jack Bulger.
manager of Walker. has been sent to
Dan Morgan, manager of Britton, and
Billy Gibson, who looks after Benny
Leonard's interests. Bulger vouches
for the validity of the proposal.
Held Own Against Britton
OF course, if Walker should be
thrown into the shadows of defeat by
Johnny Grifiths tomorrow night, he
would be automatically washed out Of
the $4,000 picture. For that reason
the Griffiths- Walker affair carries with
it an unusual degree of interest Joe
McGuinness, president of the 4th Regi-
ment Armory A. A., is said to be acting
for the syndicate of Jersey sporting
men which is trying to stage the battle
involving Leonard or Britton.
Much has been said of late in regard
tc the extraordinary prowess of Mickey
Walker, but there is nothing about his
record to indicate that he is a world
beater, although he has made rapid
strides toward the top in the last year.
Cn one occasion he easily held his own
against Britton, and also is credited
with technical Knockout over Dave
Shade in eight rounds.
The semi-tinal tomorrow night will
bring together Terry Ntzhugh,. of AL
lentown, Pa, and Harold Farese, one
of the best youngsters in Newark.
