BELANCER MEETS
TOUGH BATTLER
in VIC0 DOMAIN
Nv United Press Lease d Wire

LOS ANGELES, June 5.--Charley
Bclanger, light heavyweight champ
ion of Canada, and a reputed punch
cr of no mean ability, will meet
Nigo DOMAIN, Los Angeles boy
with Il hefty mitt of his own, in
the ten round main event at the
Olympic auditorium tonight.
Belanger figures to win. How
ever, with two fighters of the
known hitting power of the pair
either may sneak over finishing
blow.
DOMAIN has made himself popular
Ierc because he can hit. At Holly
wood recently he tottered in all
our corners of the ring before he
showed burst of speed in the
tenth and turned a beating into a
surprise knockout victory over Tony
| uentC.
His chin didn' I look any toe
strong in the nine rounds Fuente
won. Belanger, a champion, has 8
good reputation for speed and ring
generalship and may prove too much
for DOMAIN: 1t ought to be a great
Singing match.

held up because of the concessions
