BIG BOXING SHOW AT
WILMINGTON BALL PARK

"Whistling" Willie Roache, Will
mington's leading featherweight
contender, will battle Danny Petro.
sensational Washington, D. c.,
kayo artist, in the 10-round wind
up of Promoter Ralph Tribuani's
all-star fight show next Monday
night at the Wilmington baseball
park. First bout will start at $50
p. m.
Roache and Petro are expected
to wage one of the greatest battles
ever seen hereabouts, especially
since the announcement by Tri-
buani that the winner would get
a non-title bout with feather king
Willie Pep, in the same ring in
September.
Both have met the best in the
business. Reaches record shows
worthy performances against such
high class foes as Sol Bartolo. Ike
Williams, and Willie Pep, whom he
met twice before. None of the
aforementioned trio could manage
to kayo the rugged Delawarean,
although they did exc out close
decisions over "Whistling" Willie.
Roache is more than anxious to
win this scrap in order to get an
other crack at Pep.
,Petro, however, packs plenty of
dynamite in his left hand and
stands a good chance of upsetting
Reaches plans. Danny sports a
string of quick kayo wins. In his
last outing he took less than two
minutes to finish off the veteran
Danny Russell. Petro also holds
a one-round kayo triumph over
Lou Transparent, former bantam
king.
Three SKIES and a four-rounder
will complete the card. The semi
windup brings together "Chink"

pair of Baltimore belters; Jimmy
Wright, hard-hitting Wilmington
welterweight, will be pitted against

lightweight, also is slated to see
action. Klingmeyer went unbeaten
IN six bouts in Wilmington last
year. His opponent will be an
nounced. A snappy four-rounder
will open the show.
Tickets are scaled at $1.25 and
$3.50, tax included.
