BY LARRY GEORGE

Szabo's Hall of Calumet has I'M
dergone transformation Where
once the sickness Of freshly wax
ed floor invited your terpsichorean
ability there now stands a monu-
ment of fistiana.
To elucidate. Tim O'Niel of East
Chicago sometime ago terminated
the idea Of boxing show Of his
own. Being of an active tempera-
ment. he consumated the idea into
the reality OF ntation-better

Consequently, there now stands
in the hall. as before mentioned,

monument 10 herald the debut OF
the first real boxing show OF the
local season.
The three-roped championship
ring is up. the chairs are there, the
tickets are printed, and the fighters
are all secured. Everything IS
ready for the blow-off next Thurs
day night, even the bell
Yes. and the show has all the
drawing earmarks of a rich nature
The matching has brought together
group of battlers who fight be-
cause they arc eager to get ahead
in the game. These are the kind OF
fighters the public likes to see.
When one looks over the program
he does not have to be told about
its excellence. For example. right
off the gun comes two 100-pounj
boys of undisputed class. They are
Jeff Blake and Jock Duffy. Every
body remembers the electrifyinG
battle they put up about a month
ago at the East Chicago Dodgers
smoker. They always fight hard.
After this Joe Bishop and Joey
Raban will mix it for six rounds
at 122 pounds. Then Kewpie Trim
Bile and Johnny Unger at 40 pounds
will appear for another six rounds.
These boys are all speed merchants.
For windup attraction, Tim Will
sic his ace, Patsy Rocco, against
Charley Trimbley OF Roseland. 1t
is common knowledge that Patsy
always gets plenty of sleep before
his fights: hence, he is sure TO be
wide awake and with a fast incli
nation next Thursday night
While the card boasts of no cham

no laggards, They all have suffi-
cient class and plenty OF knowl
edge, and everyone of them viii
