in the boxing game, will meet
Johnny Hanson, of Portland, in one
of the feature bouts at the Seattle
Crystal Pool, Second and Lenora
next Wednesday night. LETTERS lost
close decision to Tony Portillo
Wednesday night, but he made
good showing and impressed his
admirers that he has bright fu-

In the match with Portillo the
young protege of Doc Hamilton
was a bit nervous. Stage fright is
the word. 1t was Tommv's first biz
main bout and he was in fear that
he would not show to advantage.
Next time he will do better.
Against Johnny Hanson this boy
Jeffers will have to be at his best

knocked out Mike Critic in one
