have seen them in the big Fourth
Regiment armory have always been

Schwartz and Murray win
weigh I'm at liz pounds. Each boxer
does his best at that weight and
so their contest tonight IS cx-
pected to be q sIzxler. It will be
| their fourth meeting in the ring.
Each has . victory and the third
clash was q nO-decisiOn affair,
called by the newspapers draw.
After winning the flyweights title
from Little jeff, Schwartz gave Muir
ray the first crack at ii. He lost IN
a foul to the little italian from the
Quaker City.
| Immediately Schwartz challenged
for q return bout and this time he
was awarded the decision at the end
IOf twelve exciting rounds. Instead
Of Weakening toward the end. as
had been expected, Schwartz grew
stronger and boxed better in the
last half dozen rounds than in the
first half
Their third contest was at Har-
lrisonburg, Pa, where Murray had
all the better Of the early rounds
only to lose his advantage when
Schwartz opened up on him In the
sixth. The last half of the ten-
round bout was all Schwartz. who
| earned the draw generally accorded
him.
Murray is OF the rushing, smuggling
style of mitt-pusher, ever boring in,
willing to take wallop to land
one. This viii be his first appear
ance around Washington
Schwartz is clever boxer
rather than q mere rushing slug
| ger. He uses smart left jab
with q right cross to advantage.
When challenged he has usually
shown willingness to stand toe
tO-tOe and swap punches. This
has made him q big fayOrite with
Baltimore ring fans.
Tony Cafoni, the bantam from
Walter Reed Hospital, and Gilbert
Herman, Of Baltimore, are to clash
in the semifinal Cafoni's progress
has been rapid and, If he continues
to move ahead, he should have q
good reputation in another year.
Cafoni, though still inexperienced,
has a wallop. He knocked out Joe
Lewis, of Baltimore, in three
rounds; Kid Bender, of Philadelphia,
in two rounds, and Earl johnson,
Of Baltimore, in one round. He
had Vince Carbon, the army boxer,
on the floor three times on July 4
at Washington Barracks, the final
bell saving Carbon from being
knocked out.
Herman is not known to many
Washington fans, but he has done
some good work in Baltimore, win
ming from such good boys as Kid
Julian and Mickey belmont.
Jumbo Eggleston, the football
player known to all Mohawk fans,
is on the card tonight. tackling
Phil Brock, of Baltimore, in one of
the prelininaries. Brock has more
| experience than Jumbo, but it is
doubtful If he can hit any harder.
