Williams, Honeychile To
Battle At Miami Beach

That bitter rivalry between Cy-
clone Williams and Honeychile
Whipple, middleweight from Mi
ami, will be renewed at Miami
Beach auditorium, next Tuesday
night, Sept. 80 in special g.
rounder Matchmaker Chris Dun
dee has arranged on the card.
Williams and Whipple have
now fought four times and the
score is. even-stephen between
them. Cyclone and Whipple hold
two wins over each other and no
one can tell just when either will
show superiority over the other
to end their feud.
Whipple took an Ground de-
cision over Williams last time
they clashed, which was quite a
feather in the cap of Eddie Fem
STEMS Mammy's 81 favorite.
Cyclone engaged George
Knowles, the Nassau middle
weight puncher in 2 great slug
tests at the auditorium recently.
Williams was edged out In their
first scrap, a 6-rounder and then
came back to battle Knowles IN
another close 8-rounder in one OF
the best of the year.
There was considerable booing
when the decision was rendered
in favor of Knowles in their first
scrap.
Indications are that the winner
of the Williams Whipple battle
may meet Knowles later on.
