ANDY BROWN, MATCHMAKER
FOR RACE FIGHT PROMOTER

Andy KID Brown a fine gentle
man who has done much for boxing
in Michigan, has been selected TO
be the matchmaker for Promoter
Sonny Wilson who has planned TO
hold weekly programs at the Forest
club. The announcement came this
week as Brown wrote for his license.
There has been much said py
three or four different groups Of
sportsmen about securing the popu-
lar sports palace for weekly shows,
but until now nothing definite has
come from it. Alter Duke" Ellis,

Champion Joe Louis. had once de-

laid out their plans for Friday and
Saturday night court contests, but
after figuring out the net on their
first take, decided that they had

This week Brown was selected as
the matchmaker Of what promises
to be new period in local boxing
history. Andy was busy the first
part OF the week lining up fighters
he would like to start the first night.
There has been some talk about
Wilson getting Sugar" Ray Robin
son to headline one of the cards,

see how Ray will leave the eastern
shores and Jacobs setup to try to
plunge needle into the arm Of
Michigans half-dead business.
Mr.. Brown stated that allsnf the
good fighters Of the city viii be
given a chance-both white and
colored. He wants TO use Tom
Glaspy. James Edgar. Indian Benny
Deathpaine. James Major, Bobby
Greed, Westly Davis. Odell Riley
and many more.
1t is wondered how the new pro-
noting team will do against the
competition of Scotty Monteiths
shows. Mr.. Monteith has a show
coming up on February 3.
Brown should do all right as
matchmaker. He has had plenty or
experience in the fight game hav-

ropes of the "squared-circle.' His
first cousin is the sensational Kid
