MEET HERE NEXT WEEK
y
FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRANGES fine PRELIMINARY
CARD FOR N G-DUNDEE BOUT. COLLINS
and DIANA in 3 ROUND SEMI WINDUP

Its Dundee or Long, boys. 20 take
your choice. And, no matter who
wins. the fight Fans assembled at
the Rawlins Opera House next
Thursday night will see as nice q
hattie - raj ever staged In this
city.
Prs-war dope" of the outcome of
any sport is a pretty uncertain prop
ooitiOn and the art made famous
By the Marquis Of Q~ueensberry is
10 exception to the rule.
To be frankly brutal about the
whole affair. we don't believe that
there is a man in this section of the
state or in any section of I'M state,
for that matter, who could say for
certainty as to who will be tho
winner of the big fracus next week.
At one time we believed that Long
would have but little trouble in
showing the fast little Dundee into
the discard but. you can believe it
Or not. q certain element has enter
ID into the affair which We failed
to reckon. Namely, the fast eastern
b0ys Dundee has either whipped or
Aeld to q draw.
There Is one thing certAin-Dun-
dec IL one of the really fast little
feather weights In the game. Fur
thermore he Is q lad with q world
Sf experience In the padded ring and
. friend Of Long who saw him work
Out In Denver recently confesses that
the IL year old Colorado Springs
Terror" would have the hardest bat
tie in his career when he meets
Long In this city on the 29th. Dun
dec. says the friend In question. has
. world Of speed and Is about as
scientific q little fellow as he ever
saw.
Now here Is the question:
Can Long, with a nice strign of
knockout victories to his credit since
entering the professional ranks .
years ago. connect with the speedy
ring veteran from Pittsburgh?
There IL an old adage, youth will
~ served" But somehow or other
II often happens in the ring that
youth" gets served" alright-but
not - he and his friends expected.
In boxing. a in other sports. there
ere many youthful aspirants for high
Aonors who meet defeat for the first
time At the hands of 4 seasoned
veteran many years their senior.
Then its back to the old home town
and the ambitious youngstcr IL q
sadder and . wiser lad.
However. all this II not to say
that Don Long will 60 back to Colo
redo Springs a down-cast youn9ster.
A. we understand conditions in
Denvee, trying to find a feather
weight better than Long has been
. popular indoor sport among pro-
0otors VINO would stage q good fast
scrap.
~ we have stated in . previous
Issue. Long has entered tho ring
fourteen times within the last three
0onths and he came out winner via
che knockout route In over 80 per
cent Of his starts. And he hasn't
