Staff Broasoa to Defend Lightweight
Crowa Against Cbet Nrff
Seattle Whirlwind Boxer.
Joo Flanagan has been encaged to
arrange the bouts for the Hustlers'
Club smoker to be held at the Kleventh-
Street Playhouse Wednesday. March 13.
One of the best fltfht programmes
ever offered local fistic enthusiasts is
carded for the Hustlers' smoker.
Marty Farrell. who made the biggest
hit of any boxer that has appeared in
a local ring, will meet Al Summers for
the middleweight title. Farrell won a
home with local fight fans by his won
derful cleverness against Pat Bradley
last Wednesdsy night, when the New
Yorker hit Bradley with everything but
the ring posts.
There is no arguing; the fact that
Farrell ia the niftiest piece of human
fighting machinery Portland fans have
watched for some time. Bradley landed
one glancing punch In the one and
three-quarter rounds he stood in the
ring in a bewildered condition, trying
to figure out where Farrell's next
punch waa going to hit him.
At first glance It would appear that
Sommera seems to be outclassed when
pitted against a boxer of Farrell's abll-
ty, but when it is considered that
Sommers put up a sensational battle
against Battling Ortega it Is seen that
he ought to make Farrell travel at top
speed If the Harmellte expects to win.
On th same card with Sommers snd
Farrell will be Muff Bronson. Pacific
Coast lightweight champion, who will
defend his title against Chrt Neff. The
Seattle lad haa been going like a house
afire the last couple of months, and Is
regarded as the most dangerous rival
Iironson haa for tha title in the North
west.
Dan Salt, manager ot Neff. Is confi
dent his boy will take Bronson's title.
He will have bis protege in the best of
condition and there will be no excuses
to offer should Neff fall to leave town
with the lightweight crown.
Outer bouts on the card win be be
tween Jo Gorman ofTd Weldon Wing,
Abe Gordon and Billy Ryan. Manager
rianagan win also arrange two prelim'
Inary bouts.
