Strengthening Tiff
Vies With Feature
On Turner Card

Bee Bee Washington, the proud
papa Of Foggy Bottom, tangles with
Johnny Finazzo again tomorrow
night in the 10-round feature on the
Turner Arena card, but the bout
shares the spotlight with the six
round semifinal that pairs young
Frank Sweeney with Leroy Fleming.
Fans who have been bit skeptical
OF Sweeney's punching prowess be-
cause of the low quality of the oppo-
sition he has bowled over in scoring
nine straight KOS in his career as
a pro will see the youngster go in
against a rough customer. Fleming,
when he chooses to fight, is no push
over, and the tip is that Sweeney
will get his first real test tomorrow
night.
The heat also will be on another
promising youngster. Norvel Gaddis,
who to date hasn't had much in the
way of competition in running up
six straight wins. Gaddis goes in
against Gary Rice, Alexandria pro-
tege OF Naiman Massey, with the
distance extended to six heats. and
If NorVel can hurdle this one, he'll
have shown something.
The main event is the third en-
counter between Washington and
Finazzo following a pair of sizzlers
that went to draw decisions each
time. Double Bee was f1attened in
the third round of their last en-
counter only to be saved by the bell,
and took nine count in the follow
ing round before going on to out
fight Johnny the rest of the way.
Billy Edwards, Washington's vet
eran trainer, claims he has shown
Two Bees how to protect himself
b gainst the bolo punches that laid
him low in the last go, but word
from the Finazzo camp has it that
the bolo has been sharpened con-
siderably.

This plan, he said, would be followed
instead of fixing rank by alpha
