FIGHT CARD

With interest IN the art OF fist

der BY the Godfrey-Rcusel bout IN
Laredo Monday afternoon, Tex
Goetz has lined up a card for
March ! in the MatamorOS Square
Garden across the Rio which will
bring Dynamite Young Clark OF
San Antonio and Cullen Red or
Harlingen together in the main
mill.
Clark is well recommended IN
Alamo City circles and fight fans

ton TO Red. who has fought In
Matamorcs on numerous occa-
sions, being beaten but once.
Clark is out OF SPEEDY LAWS

Ter says he feels certain that his
boy can flatten the Valley battler
in short order. Red has suffered
but two reverses in his whole ca
reer and Is anxious 70 get a whock
at the Dynamic One.
The semi-final. carded for eight
rounds, should be almost as good
as the star bout, judging from the
principal involved. In this mill,
Jack Burns, popular post puncher,
will take on Newsboy Firpo OF san
Antonio. Burns has been coming
along rapidly and his aggressive
work has drawn him "a good fol-
lowing. Firpo is a willing mixer
and should give Burns q hard
fight.
"A four-rounder between Babe
Parker and Cyclone Houdine Is on
the docket and this should be a
whirlwind affair. Both are strong
starters and they pitch everything
until they are winded. For two
rounds Parker looks like q champ
lon, using q pole arm left 10 good

the same lines and their mill
