BOXING HAS
AN INNING
I AT PRESENT
Muff Bronsn and George Ingle
Will Soon Be at . Each
Other Again.
MUFF BRONSON, who has been pur
suing the essential and gainful and
muscle-building occupation of pipefitter
at the Columbia River Shipbuilding cor
poration since his employment ceased in
the Foundation yards, figures on giving
"Smiling George" Tngle a trimming
when they meet for the Pacific Coast
lightweight championship In Aberdeen
as soon as the 'Tfu" ban is lifted.
When Muff took the title back from
Oeorge. he did it more on boxing
than on strength, but now he has built
up enough brawn to make a win unani
mous. "I never felt better In my life," said
the little Lithuanian, when speaking of
his forthcoming bout, "and 1 expect to !
trim Ingle quite handily." j
Bronson has been signer up by Pro
moter Druximan of Aberdeen for the
past two months, and had not the Span- ,
Ish "flu" put in an appearance in the
Northwest he and Ingle would have I
boxed at Aberdeen November 4, If the
ban is lifted at Aberdeen early enough,
Promotor Pruximan plans to stage the
bout as a benefit for the United War
Work campaign.
Bennie Leonard, Mike Gibbons. Willie

Kilbane, not being enlisted men, are not

Philadelphia Is rich In bantamweight

"Fighting Bill" Murray, who is a ser
geant at Fort McDowell. Cal.. is recov
ering slowly from an attack of blood
poisoning. Murray was making a grand
comeback when he walked into the fist
of "Knockout" Kruvosky and had an
eye closed, which rendered him hors
de combat and caused the referee to
stop the battle. Murray carried a flock
of boils into the ring, and it has since
been found that he is suffering from a
case of poisoned blood.
' Fighting Bill" McCabe and Georges
uai penner recently boxed an exhibition i
match before French and American sol- :

French champion has blown his cork.
Frankie FarrefH Jimmy Duffy and
"Spider" Roach may accompany Willie
Meehatt on his voy-age to "dean ole Lun
non" November. 17. Knsign Hana of Goat
Island has wired the war department
asking that bese three boys be sent to
the Grand Fleet boxing show to repre
sent the Pacific coast, says the San
Francisco Kxaminer.
Farren, without a doubt, reigns in the
featherweight division in these parts. He
has beaten the best of them, and his ex
perience will pull him through the tight
places. When the featherweight triangle
was In progress at Dreamland, Frankie
Just about reigned the division. His in
jured foot is entirely well now, and he
can get around as good as ever.
Jimmy Duffy, once featherweight, now
a yfelter. is just" about the cleverest,
hard hitting piece of fighting machinery
on the coast. The boys Jimmy hasn't
licked are not worth writing about, and
he is a cinch to give someone a good
run at London. Roach, whom we do not
know so well, has a reputation of being
the cleverest gymnasium boxer in the
world. Let's hope these three boys get
in the big show.
