Five OF the six boxers on the pro-
gram viii display their wares In
raining for fans Sunday afternoon
In the West Tulsa gym. The one
NOT here Is Comskey who boxed
Johnny Tulman draw In Denver
Friday night. Comiskey left Den
yer for Tulsa Saturday and Will be
I'm the city Monday to conclude his
,apditioning
Two Had Action.
Two OF the boxers TO appear in
the ell-star show came through with
,olors flying IN hard bouts last
week Com skey was given a draw
with the hdrd-hltting Tillman, but
reports from the Mile High city say
that ComI-kcy really had the better
of a. Bobby Hughes made all box
ing fans sit mp and take notice by
administering defeat to the tough
little Tim ODowd at Houston, and
Osner stock. which had been suat-
ing because OF his recent local
trlumphs took a sudden slump.
The Osuor- Hughes mill has got
ring fans all stirred up. Even
Hughes victory over O'Dowd failed
10 shake the confidence of many Of
Osncrs hackers. It's not often That
a bantamweight bout attracts so
much attention, and the reason Is
that Osners great improvement in
recent bouts has led many TO be-
ieve that II will take n real top
ncteher 20 stop him. whilo fans Of
the old school, remembering that
Hughes never was defeated IN n
Tulsa ring, believe the little New
Orleans lad is the one to check
Osncr.
Osncr Training Hard.
Osner is training more carefully
for this bout than he ever did here
body that Hughes Is the best oppon-
ept he ever faced in Tulsa. when
Osncr defeated Stubby Durham in
his last appearance few people knew
that Frankie had been sick with
stomach trouble for three DAYS be-
fore the fight, but such was the
case. He suffered from cramps mp
TO within an hour before the bout,
and his father, who Is his MANAGER
wanted 10 call off the scrap but
frankie wouldn't stand for Il, fear
ing that fans would think he simply
was running out on Durham. Osner
entered the ring weakened ana
shaky from illness, ana many com 70
meuts on his appearance weT@ neard'
He did not get at him-~-f ruti the
scrap was halt over. and those VINO
saw IL will remember that ~ was
In tho late rounds that he piled mp
tho big margin over Durham.
KID" Spack, who used to he In
va Ihle locally, is making the Of
Tort Of his young life to be in per
feet physical trim for tho clash
with Duyal. Spack IS n real scrap
per when he is in form, and there
are many who believe he will put
the skids under the clever Lawton
lad n he Is at himself Friday night,
Duval made quite an impression 10y
defeating the tough Eddie Murray
Of West Tulsa at the last show, and
Patsy Corrlgan, his manager, be-
leves he is a real conner. II ne
heats Spack, Corrigan intends "a
challenge the winner OF the Hughes
Osner bout,
Smith Going Fine.
There are a lot OF fans VINO would
like TO see Curley Smith at his best
Friday night when he meets Comis'
key. Curley right now Is fightiun
better than ever before I'm his career
This lad always has had the mis-
fortune to appear at his worst IN
Tulsa, He made bad fights here
and was popular elsewhere. In
Shreveport, which Is good boxing
tEn, Curley is tho best card they
