Professional Boxers to Make Debut
In EI Centro Athletic Club Tonite
Bomber
To Meet
Ritchie

Though il took the spider seven
times to spin his web, Frank Leahy,
fight matchmaker, hopes the third
time will be the charm because to-
night at $3.50 he will make his third
attempt to open professional fisti-
cutting in the FL Centre athletic
club.
The outlook for success was
bright Thursday morning because
weather conditions were perfect
and because Matchmaker Leahy
promised an outstanding opening
card as compared to his previous
offerings of only mediocre per-
formers.
Herman Graves, Ell Centre Brown
Bomber, who has won eight
straight professional fights and will
seek his ninth. against Dick Ritch-
lie in the ten round main event to-
night, is an entertaining battler
these days.
Nine times he has appeared on
The coast and he dropped only one
decision. That was to Chalky
Wright and Graves has been angl-
ing, unsuccessfully, for a return
bout ever since.
Six times Graves ended his bouts
ahead of schedule and three times
he plastered foes in the first
round.
AS an amateur Graves depended
entirely upon counterpunching for
victory but since entering the pro-
fessional ranks Graves has found
that it is better to give than to
take.
Dick Ritchie Is bit of leader
in his own right. He has fought
the best professionals on the coast
and has emerged victorious in a
majority Of appearances. His best
effort was a draw with Bobby
PachO.
The semi -Windup will furnish ac-
ton from the opening bell because
the contestants are Carlos Chipres,
the midget Tony Galento, and Hut
Thompson, Los Angeles Negro.
Three other preliminaries are
scheduled. The first will start at

according to reports, did a fine job in
following the amendment to where it

There are indications of favorable
recommendation from the standing
committee because a majority of the

opposed to further conformation of this

There should be no apprehension of
any discord arising if tact and iudg-

rights for all veterans eligible for
membership
There are possibilities that the 1910

World War eligible to join the Ameri-

I'VE have just been a bit Indifferent.
But we have all of the stuff in us
now to come together, elect a candi-
date who promises and pledges here
and now to fight for the betterment of
the ward, and make Ward Nine as
important in the political setup of
Boston as any ward within the city
limits" The applause lasted for
several minutes.
Mrs. Black in her talk brought out
the fact that the men and women of
this ward, particularly in her group,
have elected others in the past and can
elect Wyche now. 81 am no Republi-
cam" Mrs. Black said at one point,
"but | feel like thousands of others,
that as long as we adhere strictly to
party lines, just so long will we find
ourselves on the losing end I am
happy to throw my whole weight and
the weight of the scores of white and
colored members of my organization,
behind Johnny Wyche as a real rep
resentative of the interests of Ward
Nine"
The meeting heard several reports,
among them one that stated that
already nearly half of the precincts of
the ward have been canvassed for
registrations, and that others are be-
ing canvaSsed at this time.
