Instead, two other classy featherweights are to go to the local post and, accord ing to Plant, "it's costing me some money to bring them, in." Snooks Lacey, 128-pound negro scrapper of Hartford, Conn., who before coming to Portland wafted a split decision with topnotcher Willie Pep and decisioned Phil Terranova, another top rater, and Bobby Kkhards, 127'a-pound San Frwriciscuh who two weeks ago bopped out a win over Kenny Lindsey, British Columbia feath erweight champ, have been signed for Plant's mainer. "What's more," reports the matchmaker, "it's a grudge fight and I took it right away from Joe Waterman at Portland. Lacey and Richards fought once before and Richards beat him. I saw it a good scrap. I had to talk hard but got It for Salem. The boys themselves insisted it be on a winner take all basis, so that's the way it will be. Waterman was going to put them on In a double main event card in Portland." The balance of the Plant card, now in the making, will boast a six-round semiwindup special and three four-round prelims. As usual. Plant intends putting the promising Salem comers in the prelim spots. INDUSTRIAL. I.fACUC: INTERSTATK TRACTOR.
