Fla., Mar. 19. (AP) Tex Rlckard said todav there will be only one heavyweight Doxing championship match this year and he will stage It. His an nouncement followed a conference with Gene Tunney, the champion, and he added: "Other promoters who want Tun ney's services might lust as well think up something else to want." The fight will be held In July, against an opponent to be selected and at a place not yet determined. ne said. By Nick Zjrlstr Tea! It's Hobbs vs. Cleghorn In Salem. If you like these scientific ex hibitions between super-boxers. the Jab, clinch, and wrestle, pro-tect-youreslt - at-ell-tlinqs- and-be-as-clever as possible kind of mill ing, tomorrow night's socking match at the armory between Wes ley Hobbs. hard bitting Portland pugilist and the battling knucke swinger of Seattle, Walter Cleg horn, won't carry much appeal. But if way down In too Is the caveman instinct that thrills to an odl fashioned knockdown and drag-out browl, Jack Dempsey style, tomorrow night's match be tween the slugging gladiators should pack 'em to the roof. Hobbs and Cleghorn fight that way. They fight from start to finish, with no poking around or resting up In a clinch. It's Just a slugging match between two pairs of human sledgehammers In a con tinual batter from start to finish. For a sock-and-take-'em action, this fight will be the most excit ing ever fought In the city of Salem. It's the only way these leather pushers know to fight. They're fighters, not boxers, each of them about as clever as an old shoe. They may both reel about the ring, groggy at the same time, but too tough to drop to the can vas. In any sport that long survives, the petulant public fancy the punch must predominate. The turnstile turners are much the same In Keokuk. Kalamazoo, Chi cago, New Tork. Portland, or Salem. Art and skill are pleasing, but Its the buldgeon of the brute that beckons the berseck Imlglna tlon. And In these days of highly organized sports of all sorts, ac tion and color are the 1 principal ingredients of any fight show that hopes to draw the crowd. Harry Plant, sagacious match maker of the Salem Boxing com mission, has arranged the armory card for tomorrow night with a view to giving Salem boxing fans what they as well as the! Ilk else where want and are willing to pay for. Cleghorn and Hobbs are eTen'y matched, promising the fight fans a fight which they are hoping to witness. The one and only reason that Salem Is privileged with having such fighters, with, reputations as Cleghorn and Hobbs come here for a bout. Is due to the support of the many fight fans In this city. A small crowd of fans naturally brings In the little weak type of fighter, of a common class, while a large attendance brings In the big men, men with coast or even national fighting reputation, the real fighter, be they lightweights or be they heavyweights. . Look at the men that are billed In the main events In cities like Eugene. Astoria, Albany, Mill City. Cor vallla and many others. Yourfind these men billed In the Salem' pre liminary bouts as headliners. Saem now ranks as one of the leading If not the leading fight town In the state, and in order to hold such a reputation, which means bigger and better fights In the future, it is up to Mr,, and Mrs. Fight Fan to back every &but 100 per cent as they have been doing In the past. Matchmaker Plant promises this. If this fight between Hobbs and Cleghorn goes over strong, the winner of the bout will be matched with George Dixon, who speaks for himself,' In a bout In this city, if this be arranged, Sa lem will be on par with any city on the Pacific coast as to high class fights. "So far," said Plant, "I have no comment to make on the sale of tickets, as they have been go ing very well in the past week, calla coming In from all over the state, malting reservations for the coming fight and It looks as though we'll hare a full house. If this be true, it means a Dixon vs. winner of this match bout for Salem. Wralter Cleghorn of Seattle and Westley Hobbs of Portland, with both their respective managers, will arrive In this city tomorrow afternoon. Fans will have an op portunity to see both fighters work out in the ring tonight at 7:80 o'clock, each going through their practice poses for the spec tators.

Mrch 19.
