Archy 10 Find Mazza
No Setup Tonight, .
Ahearn Insists
Matchmaker Soys Jerry
Will Surprise Fans,
Help Boxing Here
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Look" sputtered Mr.. Goldie
Ahearn in his finest arm-waving
fashion, matchmaking is my busi-
ness and gotta please the public,
so would I bring a bum in here? I'm
telling you this guy Jerry Mazza
can fight and don't be surprised If
he licks joey Archibald tonight.
''You guys got this thing all
wrong. I don't care 2 cents about
Archibald. I got Mazza in here to
show a new face and pep things
up and he'll do it. AL WE'LL (Arch-
ibald's manageD didn't want this
match, but I told him he'd have to
take a gamble with Joey sometime
and he might as well start with
MazZa.
Anyway, that WE'LL signs his
fighters in a funny way. If Archi-
bald tells him he can beat some
body WE'LL signs the guy. Well
Archy thinks he can beat this guy,
but personally I think he's gonna
get a few surprises-and you can
quote me.
Mazza May Emulate Joey.
Il don't blame you fellows for
being skeptical, but after all Archi-
bald started out here the same way.
Nobody ever heard of him until he
started winning here. And how
about Johnny Pena? The boxing
commission got about SO letters
saying he was a washed-up bum
and shouldn't be allowed to fight
in here. So what does he do? He
beats Lou Gevinson.
This Mazza can fight. He laid
off in 1886 and 1887 because he was
stabbed in street brawl while pro-
tecting his little brother He was
in the hospital for six months anc
his family wouldn't let him fight
until about year ago. Now he's
making a comeback and he's doing
a good job of it. Hey, Jerry, come
here and show him your scar"
