E Than Last Year
Local fight fans are due to see
the best boxing program ever
staged in Gainesville here Thurs- I
day night at the Athletic Club
when Eddie Russey brings his
strong team of boxers from Wich-
ita Falls for a full card of bouts
with local and Cooke county fight- ,
ers. 1
Wichita Falls boasts one of the I’
strongest boxing teams in the
state, which is easy to believe, for
the team has won every tourna- i
ment it has entered this year.
Local fighters, however, will in
no wise be setups for the visitors.
Such boys as "Spooks" Lawton,
Ed Richardson, Abner Yoakum,
Jack Myers, Riley Robeson and
Wilson Ownby have all shown an i
awful lot of resentment to having ।
their ears boxed in previous bouts. 1
In addition to the bouts between ,
these two teams, Matchmaker Ed-
die Wine will have on hand several i
colored fighters to do battle, with <
a lot of fun assured.
No less than 12 bouts will be
staged in this big boxing carni-
val. and interest in the sport
should pick up considerably over
the prospects of such an outstand-
ing card.”
