not to do when he does get married.

little advice on dancing.
We were having our party in the

played - 1 mean juke box - we
danced over the glass floor-I mean
brick. All kidding aside we were
enjoying ourselves to the upmost.
C. T., B. L. is really true to you

it. Did you know that it won't be

Friday night that he is top flight
and that he can hold his own if not
better with any 126-pounder in
America today. ! talked to a
number of old-time fight managers
and fight critics. Usually they are
quick to find something wrong with
most anyone-especially a fighter.
But not so with Graves. e.
All agreed that the kid has more
than a good sock in either paw and
that before long would be the talk
of the country at least by next
fall.
Can anyone tell me of the local
newspaperman who yelled, and
some, when it was first announced
that Graves was turning pro? &.
Saying that the kid was too young
and frail and that some pro would
kill him, etc.
A week from tonight over in the
Sanity City, Elmer Ray and Gun
mar Barlund will headline promoter
Eddie Williams all star boxing
event. +. . 1t is the hope that Twin
City fight fans all give Williams
helping hand and help the new
promoter make the success that
he so richly deserves. It's a job
trying to become a fight promoter
nowadays, believe me.
A-RING-A-ROUND. "
Did you know that the main event
Ray and Barlund-cost promoter
Eddie Williams $4,000? In
other words the promoter will have
to do better than 8 grand to break
even. Alt~he wants to do is
please the fans. Expensive
wish I'd say. Within 48 hours
after his win Graves had five at
tractive offers and all were turned
down because Tony Stecher has
first chance.
Add to things I'd like to see, a
fight show showing Olivera, Jeffra,
Jackson and Riley all in one eve
ming. Ringside price is $500
next Friday. The Pep match
won't come off till July or later
but not sooner. Wonder who
will be the first new st. Paul
fighter or prospect? -.
