SIX-ROUNDER
Shine and Moore in PreIim
Monday.

Charlie Shine, who win meet Billy
Moore in a six-round prelim to the
Pal Moore, Hap Anterior scrap at
Tomlinson Hall, Monday night, has
laid off from his tad-driver Job for
a few days to get in shape for the
battle. The main trouble Shine has
had In the past has been in finding
time to train, and he has found that
doing his road work in a Yellow Cab
doesn't bring the desired results.
Moore is a likely young puncher
and has won the admiration of fans
here on his former appearances by
his willingness to mix all the time
he is in the ring.
The ShineMoore bout was carded
when the illness OF Bipp Luntzel Of
Louisville forced cancellation Of the
Luntzell. Dugan scrap.
