Two Negro Lads
On Friday Night
Boxing Show

The big fellows will predominant
on Fridays all-star boxing show
at the Minneapolis for Promoter
Tommy O'Loughlin early today
signed Frank Rowsey of Los An
geles to meet Tommy Johnson, a
colored lad of Chicago in a six
round special attraction in support
of the Arne Anderson, Paul Will
liams, Negro heavy main event and
a Dick Demaray eight rounder in
the semi-windup.
Although Demaray is willing to
meet any boxer available, O'Lough-
lin has been unable to procure a
weller weight rival for the tough
Bismarck Blaster who hasn't lost
a Minneapolis bout in quite a while.
The Rowsey-Johnson stacks up
as a far better match than it looks
on paper for both have imposing
records, especially Rowsey who has
been attempting to break into the
local heavyweight picture for the
past two months.
His record actually reads like the
who's who of the Interchangeable
class. The former Montana Cow
Boy has met John Henry Lewis,
twice, Make Rosenbloom three
times, Bob Nestell, Ambrose Pal
mer, Johnny Paychek and Fred
Lenhart.
He had little trouble in defeat
ing Johnny Paychek, actually
knocking him down twice in the
first round which gives Joe Louis
no edge over him.
Johnson is speedy $50 pound
boxer who was good enough to go
to the final round in the national
A. A. u. boxing tournament in
Cleveland last year. Among his
victims since turning professional
are frankie Greene, Ernie Hahn
and Fritzie Mayer, whom he
on the last Milwaukee box
ing show.
Completing the program will be
at least two four FOUNDERS.
