Much Comment
The n ex t boxing event w hich
w ill be held in th e Civic A u d ito r­
ium , tonight, has caused much
com m ent and created q u ite a bit
of excitem ent.
Who w ill w in? W ill it be B ob­
bie Volk or Lincoln S tanley? Will
Volk, by superb boxing and by
use of a fast serp ertin e like left,
use the sam e m ethod as he did on
W hiteside and soften S tanley up
for th e kill? O r w ill he be caught
“off balance” and ru n into the
lethal rig h t of th e C alifornia boy?
W ill the fight go the lim it or end
in a KO?
Most of th e fans believe th a t
one of the o th er w ill w in by a
knockout and th a t the scrap w ill
not go the lim it.
B oth boys a re in fine trim
and eager for th e fray. W ell we
w ill know th e answ er in a few
hours.
