Cannon 10 Make Pro
Debut in Hagerstown
AGAINST Williams

The ring experts around town
have been saying that there's one
amateur in circulation who can lick
most of the professionals. He's Joe
Cannon, National AAU 147-pound
champion, and now the youngster is
going to try to prove the experts
were right. Joe has announced that
he Is turning pro.
Gannon's first fight for cash will
be staged in Hagerstown MD
Thursday where he takes on Jerry
Williams, a Baltimore battler in a
prelim bout on the Phil Enzenga-
Ben Franklin card
The dark, looking youngster
put on gloves for the first time at
the age of 6, and in d colorful simon
pure career has collected Ave Junior
and three senior titles. topped off
by the National crown he wears as
result of slugging his way through
the welterweights in the Boston
tournament this year.
It's no surprise to any one in the
local fight world, particularly those
who saw his last amateur battle,
that Joe has finally made this de-
cision. The lad showed a heavy
punch in his TKO win over Mel
Espey on Billy Blake's amateur card
in the ball park last Friday night,
and ringworms here are saying that
Cannon may be the good local boy
the flstic business needs here.

Wright May Find Wills
Tougher Than Latsios

Frankie Wills, clever District bat
tier, who never has been KO'd, may
be tougher obstacle for hard
handed Bee Bee Wright to hurdle
than was Nick Latsios. At least
that's the reaction to Promoter Joe
Turner's announcement that the
brawl finally had been set for Oc-
tober 3 in Griffith Stadium.
Wills, who is ranked among the
top 10 welterweigh.s in the listings
Of the National Boxing Association
has lasted 10 rounds with Henry
Armstrong and Bob Montgomery
and knows his way around ring.
A victory over Frankie would add
more to Double Bees prestige than
did the Latsios KO, as Wills has
boxed most of the best men in the
division, and none Of them has been
able to make him stay down.
Bee Bee already has spurted to
attention as the neatest young well
ter prospect in the East.

Shorkey-kevin Mat Bout Rated
Best Here in Three Years

Uncle Joe Turner has cornered the
two principal claimants to the world
heavyweight wrestling crown, Babe
Sharkey and Dave Levin, for a bat
tie royal at Turner's Arena tomor-
row to decide on which beetling
brow the crown should perch.
It's real plum Turner has picked,
