Quick Wins SOUGHT
By Minis and Cooper
To Earn Better Bouts

Two of the fighters on Tues
day nights boxing program at
Turner's Arena will be trying to
make a good impression with an
eye toward future bookings.
Middleweight Holly Minis of
Washington, who fights in the
main event, needs to keep going
good to earn another of those
well-paying television dates soon,
and Featherweight Jimmy Cooper
Of Washington, who fights in one
of the preliminaries, is hoping
to force return bout with Gene
Smith.
Minis in Feature Match.
The. always-willing Minis is
matched in the main hereunder
against Eddie Green of Kannap-
oils. N. c. Holly missed a tele-
vision chance several weeks ago
when he fought Willie Troy at
Uline Arena. It was a standby
bout, to go on TV in case a bout
in Miami was rained out. It
didn't rain, so Minis unexpected
elght-round knockout wasn't
seen anywhere except in Uline
Arena.
That victory earned Minis
consideration for a sure-enough
TV bout, however, and Promoter
Goldie Ahearn, who does the
booking for Uline's, has Minis in
mind for an April 8 date.
Cooper Meets OsariO.
AS for Cooper, he's matched
in a six-round prelim against
Filberto Osario of Puerto RIGA.
Jimmy at one time was the Dis
trict's No. l featherweight until
Smith came along and beat him,
and ever since then Cooper has
been seeking a return match.
Every bout he has is designed to
bring such return a step closer.
Cooper has wangled supporting
spots on the last two cards at
Turner's Arena headed by Smith.

Wrestling Twin Feature
Scheduled at Turner'S

A wrestling double feature has
been booked by Promoter Vince
Mcmahon for Wednesday night
at Turner's Arena. One match
will present the women's cham
pion, the other has Antonio
Rocca, Washington's favorite
grappler.
Mildred Burke, the women's
champion, will appear against
Mae Young. Miss Burke has had
the title for 10 years, and fig
ures it's worth a $4,000 annual
income.
The popular Rocco has been
matched against the Golden
Terror. 300-pound villain.

Entry Of 1,O75 Teams
Bears Out Prophecy
Made by John BIick
By Rod Thomos

Only a few among the present
generation of bowlerS ever heard
of w. v. Thompson, but he was
the man behind the scenes when
the National Duckpin Congress
was created.
Not many are aware of it. but
the congress was conceived at the
old Arcadia, at Fourteenth and
Park road NV, one night during
the world billiard championship
tournament Of 1925.
Managing the tournament was
Thompson, field man Of the
Brunswick, Bake, Collender Co.
President of the Arcadia Com
pany was John S. Blick. At the
