HICKEY HERE:
WANTS match
With PERKINS

Harry Hickey. former Kansas
heavyweight boxer now headquarters
ing in Casper. is anxious to show
local fans that he is the heavyweight
that can put an end to Harvey Per
kins' winning streak. Harry is a
big. good natured chap and has
worlds Of experience in the boxing
game. He is considered around
through the middlewest as one of
the best Of the big fellows and would
no doubt give Casper Harvey plenty
of action should they meet in a local
ring.
Hickey has boxed all the good men
in Inc around Kansas and several
of the Kansas Legion posts speak
very highly of his ring prowess. The
Jayhawker heavy declares that he is
ready to meet Perkins at any time.
any place and at any terms the local
champ wishes. Harry will start
training Immediately and will work
daily at the Moore-Hayden gym
nasium. 1t is thought that the local
heavy Perkins and Hickey will have
It out before one of the local clubs
in the near future. Both Perkins
and Hickey are big strong heavy
weights and pack plenty of punches
that would bring down the average
ring performer In their class. A hard
spectacular fight will be the result
should these W boys meet.
