EARLYSTART TO

In view of the crowd which was
out at the arena last week to see
Speedy Dado, worlds flywcight
champion do his stuff, some Of the
fans are planning on getting out
there ut sundown tomorrow in order
to be sure to see the little Filipino
when he goes into action against
Jimmy Lucas, flyweight champion
of the navy.
On his first appearance here last
week, several hundred were unable
to obtain adm ission to the arena,
and it is indicated by the advance
sale of tickets that Il similar condi-
ti0n will exist this week.
Not only is the attraction of a
world s champion credited with this,
but the fans are expecting TO see
Dado facing much stronger opposi-
ton in Lucas than he did in Willie
Cain last week
Lucas has been in there before
with Dado, and had the misfortune
to lose on Il technical knockout when
a badly cut eye which Lucas suf-
fcred, forced the referee to discon-
tinuc the match. Previous to this
Lucas had more than held his own
with the champion and threw q scare
into the latter's supporters hy the
way in which he manhandled their
Dado is not the only drawing card
tomorrow night, for Bobby Pdcho
is also booked to appear in the eight
round scmi-final, with frankie
Boldt, the Wilmington thunderbolt
as his opponent. Bobby is a prime
favorite with the fans, and his pres
cnce alone is enough to pack the
