HALLOWEEN

The night is dark and windy
The swaying trees are bare;
There are pumpkins ON the gate-pos
And witches in the air.
Black cats sitting on the fences
Witches flying through the air;
You had better watch yourself
Or you might get a scare.
The moon is large and bright
The air is clear and cold;
It's spooky, spooky night,
As in the days of old.

Boxing Fans Puzzled
Over Coming Match

Boxing fans who haunt the gym
every afternoon to watch the boys
go thru their PAGES are having
their troubles trying to decide
whether AL Hostak has enough
stuff at this time to cope with the
formidable Allen Matthews in the
ten round match al the Civic Ar
ena here next Tuesday night, Aug
ust 10.
Hostak sprang into national pro-
minence when he knocked out Ris-
ko several weeks ago. His feat
Of slowing the former middle
weight champion away in seven
heats was something to conjure
with but then again Matthews is
something else.
Risl1o has never been regarded
as a puncher. Hostak had moth
ing to fear from Babes wallop
and waded right in for the kill.
On the other hand Matthews is
universally ranked as one Of the
hardest punching middleweights
that the game has produced in re-
cent years and Al may find it an
entirely different proposition next
week. Where he could take chan
ces and remain fairly safe against
Risko he runs the risk of taking
K. o. wallop himself when he
battles Matthews.
However, Hostak happens to be
blessed with a concrete chin and
can afford to take a few risks in
order to get in his own crushing
wallop. Both Fighters have been
putting in some gruelling ticks in
the past ten days and are round
ing into the pink of condition.
There will be no alilbis offered
from either side after the fight.
Both are equally confident of VIC
tory. yet both cannot win.
1t may be that the first fighter
to get in a telling blow will be
the ultimate winner. That means
that both are going to start off
at top speed and the fans are
looking forward to seeing one of
the greatest fights ever Witness
ed in Seattle.
