Program in Fort Myer
Ring Tonight

It's a far cry from the small
hamlet Of Olongopo in the Phillip

mite, believes his destiny ID in the
right direction. and he is going to
try TO prove IT at the expense Of

collide in tweive-round duel at

perfect condition.
Denico and Schwartz have fought
the same boys for the past year.
Looking back oyer their records,
one notices that Schwartz has
stopped several likely rivals that
Denico was able to outpoint but
not flatten. Apparently the New
Yorker hits harder and straighter
than his Filipino rival.
Young Dencio Is seeking a bout
with the titleholder, Pancho Villa, a
fellow countryman Of his. IL he
can defeat Izzy Schwartz tonight at
Fort Myer, he may have his am
bition gratified.
While Schwartz and DenciO are
admittedly topliners in tonight's
show at Fort Myer, Washington
ringworms expect quite as brilliant
a contest when Midget Carbon, q
Fort Myer product, and Jack
Cafoni, hailing from Walter Reed,
hook up in their eight.round semi.
final bout.
Carbon and Cafoni. natural rivals
In the service, have met twice in
the ring. Carbon stopped Cafoni
in two rounds, but the Walter Reed
Hyweight came back and knocked
out Carbon in the sixth.
Since that last battle Carbon has
been yelling for another crack at
Cafoni, but without avail. Cafoni
has met many good boys IN Balti,
more and Washington, but tonight
Carbon gets his chance to turn
the tables. Wise ring fans here
believe this semi-final win be quite
as exciting as the final contest
between Dencio and Schwartz.
