welterweight championship, wilL grap
ple with Frankr Vance of Seattle; at the
Rose City Athletic club. There has
been a great deal or rivalry between
these two wrestlers for the past sev
eral years and the coming bout should
be one of the best-ever staged here. :
Neither man is leaving, a stone un
turned to -condition himself. O'Con

working on some new holds, which he
will use in the match against Vance.

will meet In the main . boxing event
Bronson, since his victory- over Leo
Houck. has become a popular favorite
among the fans. The. other boxing
bout will be between Jack Wagner and
Jack Allen. These two boys should
put up a. slam-bang bout.
The referee, has not been selected for
the . wrestling match and there will be
some arguing; between ins two princi
pals before a . third man is selected.
Vance. It is known, will not submit to
a Multnomah .man officiating, so. it
looks as though Mike Butler will have
the call unless some outside man
should happen to drop in town at
that time. '

Vance will make 156 pounds for the
