jackson, West Battle
For Local 135-Pound
Crown at UIine's

The District lightweight cham
pionship belt is only minor issue
tonight as Sonny Boy West and
Stonewall Jackson, pair of hard
hitting local colored l35-pounders
tangle in a 12-round fight at Uline
Arena. This is a rematch of a re-
match, being the third time these
two youngsters have scrapped.
If the fight is anything like the
first two it should be a honey.
Advance predictions from both
camps, which have been busy for
the last two weeks in wordy battle
tof threats and challenges, indicate
that practically anything can hap
pen. Their last fight. at Uline last
month drew the best crowd of the
dpdoor season, topping even the
turnont for Beau Jack.
{ jackson won the first fight on
decision and West took that last
scrap with an eight-round knock
out 1t appeared to be a left hook
to the middle that laid Jackson
1ow, but Jackson and his manager
Billy Edwards, claim 1t was a low
blow. Further claims from thai
department are that Jackson was
handcuffed by a warning from the
District Boxing Commission about
his somewhat wild style of fighting
and that worry about these warn
ings kept Jackson in check.
Manager Edwards is letting Jack
son go back to his old style OF
fighting tonight and leaving it up tc
the referee whether Jackson does
any fouling All Edwards asks is
that the referee look after West
also.
The West camp appears to think
that is okay. 1T was no low blow
that beat him last time" maintains
Mighty Mel Stevenson, Vests man.
