BOOST SPORTS CARD
LEVINE B0LDUC
FRIDAY EVENING

Lewiston, March 31-Ruby Levine
has postponed his trip to California;
postponed it long enough to meet this
new Lewiston ring sensation, George
Bolduc. The battle. bound to cause
excited speculation among the boxing
folk, will be the semi final at the
Boost Sport Sporting club show Fri
day night. There was a good deal OF
talk last week that the Boost Sports
should have matched Ruby with Lali-
berte or Bolduc instead of Suggs.
Outcome of the bout proved this for
Levine was no match for the colored
champ.
Bolduc has long sought so with
Levine. Efforts were made to match
Myer Berman's younster with Ruby
directly after Levine returned from
his New ork sojourn. but these at
tempts We're fruitless.
Matchmaker Turner arranged the
bout over the week end when re-
turn battle between Speakman and
Cote Topped Speakman could not
possibly get into condition to scrap
Cote again this week. He sustained
several minor injuries in last weeks
bout. the most serious being an in
iured hand. No bones are broken.
but there is a bad sprain that must
be eliminated before further boxing
is done, doctors have told Speakman.
Ruby will have fully recovered from
the effects of the lacing he took from
Suggs before he meets Bolduc. The
New Auburn Scrapper Will be in bet
ter shape. probably. han when he
met Suggs. 1t would appear as If
Bolduc had his work cat out for him.
Levine flashed during the early
rounds of the Suggs mix. hut was
helpless after the third stanZa. There
is q reason for his mea gre showing.
and that is that he was up against
the best bantam in New England.
That is no press agent bunk. Suggs
is a champ. a real champ. n fact that
has been proven over and over. But
Bolduc won't be any set-up for Lee
vine The Lewiston lad is apt to hand
a surprise to the New Auburn scrap
per before the mix IS over. Bolduc
today is as pretty boxer as local
fans have witnessed in many moon.
and he is beginning to lash out with
his mitts in a fashion that indica ties
he will soon pack a punch as telling
as Eddie Polo's gun fire. Ruby had
best not ,under-rate the Lewiston lad

first mix with Laliherte. He is now
hitting the other extreme. Training.

Included in the all-star list are

knockouts galore are expected, with
