Thirty-four rounds of boxing, in
Guiding a. twelve-round feature bout
between Jack Renzo of Washington

be offered local fistic fans Tuesday
night at the Washington Sporting

Renzo, who won over Al Ward of

duced the sleeper over Charlie Baum
of Baltimore in five rounds. The
Philadelphia battler also knocked out
Tex McEven in the third round, while
It took Young Stribling seven to pull
the same trick. -
Jack Ryan of Baltimore will ex-
change swats with Billy Cannon of
Philadelphia in the eight-round semi
final. The winner will be featured in
main attraction at Kenilworth later.
There will be one six-round affair,
involving Louis Gug1imenni of Wash
ington and Charley Barber of Balti-
more. The local boxer is apt to find
the going rough, for. Barber has ac-
complished something that no other
scrapper has done and that was to
stop Charley Holman in four rounds
last winter at Baltimore.
Joe Rivers of the Washington bar
