These are the kind of fighters the public I'kes to see. When one looks over the program he does not have to be told about its excellent. For example, right off the gun comes two 100-pounJ boys of undisputed cl&ss. They are Jeff Blake and Jock Duffy. Everybody remembers the electrifying battle they put up about a month ago at the East Chicago Dodgers' smoker. They always fight hard. After this Joe Bishop and Joey Raban will mix it for six rounds at 122 pounls. Then Kewpie Trimble and Johnny Unger at 120 pounds will appear for another six rounds. These boys wre all speed merchants. For a wlndup attraction, Tim will sic his ace, Pattsy Rocco, against Charley Trimbley of Roseland. It is common knowledge that Tattsy always gets plenty of sleep before his fights; h-nce, he is sure to be wide awake and with a fast inclination next Thursday night. .While the card boasts of no champions or near champions, yet it has no laggards. They all have sufficient class nnd plenty of knowledge, and everyone of them will tight with an earnestness that always goes strong in the box office.
