this area might be interested in entering the bouts to
be staged there January 1927.
Doc also mentions Buddy Best, local boxer. he
says Il note that you have Buddy West in Will
mington now. If memory serves me correctly Buddy
put on a couple of corking good fights down here last

know the name of local promoters. "We've got several
pretty good fighters in this section and maybe we can
arrange a couple of bouts in Wilmington" Doc con-
tinued.

six games. They were down, Illinois
was up"
The Illinois coach, slated to fly
