Continued from Page u

Doc Ostroot has been handling Jess
physical training Doc says that Jess is
in much better shape than he was
when he battled the miner. So much
for the local lad Now let us see what
the colored lad has to offer.
Young Peter has been fighting steady
on the coast and has been winning
nearly all his battles. Here is what a
of his fights. Using his left hand to
of his fights. Using his left hand to
good advantage Young Peter Jackson
had clear edge in the six round semi
windup with Young Jack Dempsey,
but they called it a draw. Dempsey
hurt his hand late in the fight 1t was
terrific battle and the judges called
it draw" Shorty WEIGH tells us that
he has seen this fellow Dempsey in
action and that he is some mean man.
Listen to what they say about Peters
fight with a fellow that we all know,
no less person than Paddy Ryan
who was in charge OF the fight tent
with the big carnival that showed here
a couple of years ago. You will re-
member that Jess fought this fellow
Ryan and Brick Wollaston gave Jess
the decision after six rounds of mighty
hard going Here is what Peter did to
Paddy: Chester Dupree went right at
ter Paddy Ryan in the first round and
series of rights and lefts had the
big fellow on the canvas for keeps in
one minute and As seconds Ryan hit
the colored heavyweight one or two
solid blows while il lasted, but the dam
aging mid-riff wallops sent in by
Chester were too much for Ryan to
overcome He lit flat on his back for
the final knockdown and no count was
necessary"
We have all the proof necessary TO
make us believe this fellow Jackson
is scrapper and will give Jess run
for his money. We are endeavoring to
get some more dope on the colored
boy and will let you have it next
week. Let's look around and see what
the rest Of the card looks like
The opening event should be a
Knockout Hoffman has arranged 10
have eight of Libby's coming scrappers
in the ring at one time free for all.
Each lad will be blindfolded; one hand
tied behind his back with an 8-oz
glove on the other AS fast as they 90
down Long George Vogt will pick
them up and hand them out and the
last fellow on his feet will win the
bout and take the cash This is case
where the little fellows will have TO
stand on their feet because if they fall
| that will be just too bad This should
be a circus and no doubt will be
big drawing card. Vogt promises to
keep the ring clear as fast as they 60
| DOWN Don't be alarmed; the little
| fellows can't hurt each other much
with the big mits and dollars to dough-
nuts they will get as big kick out
of it as the crowd .
The second number on the card will
be three or five round match be-
tween Byde Lamey and an opponent
yet to be selected. At the present it
looks like a fellow from Troy If
this falls through there are two or
three local boys that want to go
against Lamey Byde says bring them
on; they all look alike to him. That
means that we will see some action
in this bout
The Club will make special price Of
so cents to all children going to school
The reserved seats will be $500, gem
eral admission $l0O
The Club wants it understood that
ladies will be shown every curtesy;
that there will be nothing off color
and that they would be glad to have
the ladies out to this show The Chief
says that If you are not satisfied
your money will be gladly refunded.
Ray Russell will referee the main
event. Ray made wonderful showing
as third man in the ring at the last
bout We all know that he will keep
the big fellows going at top speed He
won't stand for any dirty work and
will be impartial and fair with all his
decisions. With Russell in the ring we
don't need to worry about what fight
ers are going to do; he will see that il
is bout
Bob Thompson will handle the time
and bell, with Bill Seims handling the
second bout. We will give you all the
dope next week. Remember the date,
bring the family and enjoy the show.
