Speedy Wilson, Joyce
Promise Hot Scrap
In UIine Top|iner

Jackie Wilson. the former feather
weight champion, and Willie Joyce,
contender for the lightweight title,
stand to draw big gate tomorrow
night at Uline Arena when they
tangle in Liberty A. C.'s 10-round
main event fight. Both are fancy
boxers and popular in Washington
and figure to set a hot pace all
the way.
Wilson, smooth and clever boxer
with particularly fast and accurate
left, still has hope of regaining the
feather title he lost to Jackie CAL
lura several years ago. He chilled
Lew Hanbury and Danny Petro
here, decisioned Jimmy Phillips, Cleo
Shans and Lulu Costantino and
split two with Pedro Hernandez.
Wilson Scored in Upsets.
The Shans and Costantino vic
tories were upsets. Jackie was on
the short end of the betting odds
and likely will be tomorrow night.
Shans, who was riding high at the
time of his loss to Wilson here,
thought he should have won and
challenged for a return match in
Baltimore. They had it and Jackie
won again.
In his only previous showing here,
Joyce scored over Morris Ref in i'm
pressive fashion last summer, dis
playing both punch and style. He
also added to his luster with
victory over Allie Stolz in Madison
Square Garden recently. He
launched his career as headliner
when he upset Henry Armstrong
to end a long winning streak for
the three time former champion at
a time he was launched upon a
successful comeback. He later re-
peated over Armstrong in another
upset.
Joyce Has High Rating.

Natinal Boxing Association light
