Big TEST in SpagnoIo
Fight at Turner'S

young Negro heavyweight slugger
from New York. gets his first i'm
portant test tonight against Duilio
Spagnolo of Italy in the 10-round
feature fight at Turner's Arena.
Wallace. in his apprenticeship
under the careful management Of
Blinky Palermo, has knocked out
10 not-too-tough opponents and
now seems ready to make his bid
to advance. Spagnolo, the Ital-
ian heavyweight champion and
winner of IA of 16 bouts in this
country, will be Wallace's first foe
with any sort of reputation.
They probably will go at even
money tonight, although any
where else in the country Spag-
nolo would be the choice. Wallace
is something of a District favorite,
however, having scored five of his
knockout victories at Turner's
Arena this winter. He is a 22-
year-old, 195-pounder with speed
and punching power and Turner's
Arena ringsiders are fond of COM

ing program starting at 8:45 pm.
The fives are Art Bethea against
