TONY and NOBE
SOON To MEET
TONY DIANA and N0BE AYALA Will
MEET AGAIN IN BOXING EXHIBIT
ton ON JANUARY rs

There's a great treat in store for
local followers of the padded arena,
anyhow there will be II past per-
formance is any criterion. We al
lude to no other than the coming
boxing fray between m Tony Diana
and a certain Mr.. Nobe Ayala.
Messrs. Diana and Ayala will meet in
the squared ring on Friday, Janu-
airy 26th. and the bout will be staged
in the old opera house under the
auspices OF the Rawlins Volunteer
Fire Department. There will be, be-
sides the referee. three judges. The
judges may be heard from and then
again they may not. II the plans
laid by either n OF the particip-
ants mature they will not-the ref
cree and a pail of Ice cold water will
be all that Is necessary.
1t is understood that both boxers
are insisting on selecting a referee
who can count as high as ten and,
according to each of the above men
toned gentlemen, local followers OF
the Art of Self Defense are going to
have the opportunity Of witnessing
the Third Man in the Ring raise and
lower his arm exactly ten I0l
times.
Friends, the boxing exhibition
scheduled to take place a week from
tomorrow night is going to be in
teresting. Take 1t from us-there
will be something doing! Now for a
little history:
1t was a strange coincidence that
Tony met Nobe once on the 18th day
of October - and stranger yet
when we stop to consider that on
this particular occasion the 18th
came on no other day than Friday.
Friday. the 18th. unlucky? We say
1t was - for Tony. anyway. Like
wise for the fans who had wagered
their all that said Tony was a better
man than Nobe.
The affair last October lasted ten
whirlwind rounds. There was plen-
ty OF fast work on the part OF both
boxers and a tendency to mix when
the mixing was good. There was
absolutely no stalling tactics from
either participant. and they broke
from clinches clearly. II was a fast
20 and won approval from every fan
In the house.
We come now to the referees de-
cision. The argument was awarded
to Nob Ayala and met with ap-
proval - OF some. There were many
who claimed that Tony should have
had his hand raised In the air. while
still others were OF the opinion that
a draw was the correct i%nterpreta-
tion OF the whole affair. But let by
zones be by zones. Nobe Ayala was
declared winner and that's all there
Is to II.
But can ne repeat? There are
many who say he can, and there are
a lot of others will wager that he
can't for. say they. he never did.

PRISON PLAY
A Big SUCCESS
PRISONERS AT STATE PENITENTIARY
GAVE THREE ACT COMEDY. To
REPEAT PLAY FRIDAY

Last Tuesday evening the audi
torium at the State Penitentiary was
crowded to capacity by local people
who a come to attend the three
act farce comedy presented by the
Prison Dramatic Club of that insti-
tuition.
To state that the play was a sue
cess would not be saying enough. It
was a clever comedy that required
real talent and the prisoner-actors
were not found wanting. Time and
time again the audience warmly ap-
plauded the members of the cast.
Particularly was this true of the
special numbers presented between
acts.
John Kahaakna, Hawaiian
musician OF unusual ability. was
obliged to respond to at least a half
dozen encores, and James Smith and
Fred Baker were called back on the
stage almost as many times. The
members of the Hawaiian orchestra
also proved themselves very popular,
and repeated several number at the
request of their hearers.
The play was promoted and man
aged by Jerry Driscoll. with Wayne
C. Dabney as director. It was a
comedy which had for its 81 me the
farm or one Capt. Sktnnf r The
farm was in the neighborhood OF an
institution for the insane, the proNim-
ity of which afforded MATERIAL for
many laughable situations. An over

that certain feminine qualities we're

Henry Collins, as a retired Sea
Captain. was very good, and was well
supported by Wayne Dabney as the
nephew. H. N. Stewart. as the Coun-
try Gentleman, and James Smith as

On account of the large number
who were unable to see the play the
