Main Event
Ten rounds Walter Clcghorn,

land, 160.
Supporting the Hobbs-Cleghorn
neadiiner at the armory tonight are
three special events and one curtain
raiser totalling 20 rounds of fight
ing, or less.-
Local followers of fistdom predict
that the main event will not go 10
rounds. Both Hobbs and Clcighorn
pack murderous punches which un
loosed at an opportune time may
mane either one of them assume a
horizontal posture on the canvas.
Pete Wlllert will find his gloves
full against Rumely. Rumley stepped
a pretty pace here against Prankie
Monroe. He's a student at Univer
sity of Oregon.
Opponents for 81 Flook are scarce
in these parts so Harry Plant went
after a cousin of Wesley Hobbs, Pee
Wee Green, of Los Angeles. Pec
Wee Is in Portland now studying
with Hobbs,
Young Ensley and Young Plrpo
are strangers to Salem fans, but arc
said to be i couple of tough pugs.
In the curtain raiser, Lloyd Am
brose makes his debut In the Salem
rf ig. It's Ambrose's first fight, but
he has been training at the armory
for a long time, awaiting a call to
put on the gloves. His opponent is
Harry savage, ol Albany.

Watch Young Wes Hobbs
When He Meets Cleghorn
Tonight;
Wesley Hobbs, rhc meets Walter
Cleghorn In a 10 rounn fist swing
ing match tonight, worked out tor
t:.e benefit ol a crowd o spectators
at the armory lu . night, and he
appears to be in the plni of condi
tion. He punched the bag with surpris
ing vigor, Jumped the rope with an
easy swing, and knocked his shad
ow for a goal. He means buslnes
Hobbs does, In this bout with Clet,
horn.
Hobbs has been located in Port
land for several months. Ho made
such a good showing in his first
match there, easily defeating Bob
Spady, that he has hat a tough time
getting suitable opponents ever
since.
A great many got '. boys shy off
at a southpaw, which Hobbs is.
The, are awkward to fight, an. sock
hard with their leit nana. For that
reason, Hobbs ! is been unable to
appear in Portland lately. He had to
go to Seattle for another bout. In
this, he gave Eddie Brock a 'hoi
ough trouncing.
Hobbs showed his stuff once in
Salem against Bill Illtng worth,
What he did to Bill was plent". He
stopped him in 1 than one min
ute. Then, after five minut"i or
rest, he waded into BUI again and
knocked him out In the fourth
round.
In Cleghorn, he will find a far
more formidable opponent. Cleg
horn is an Eskimo, tough and
rugged. He has lived the greater
part of his life in Seattle, where he
learned to box.
Starting as a preliminary boy,
Walter now is recognized as one of
the best cards In the Sound city. He
recently held Wolcot. Langford, the
great colored fighter, ' a draw, and
has beaten most of the best men of
his weight In that section.
Hobbs will find his work cut out
for him in facing Cleghorn, but

Any boxer who can defeat the
nard hitting and rugged Herman
Auerbach three times has something
to boast of. Georgia Dixon beat
Hennan the last time he faced him
in rortland, but lost in their first
meeting. Auerbach wa,nt in the best
of shape for their second battle, as
he had been ill with Influenza,
which caused the second bou; to be
postponed for one week.
It Is likely that the scheduled bout
will not go the limit. Both contest-
ante are hard hitters, and likely to
score a kayo any time they find the
proper opening.
Each fighter is toujh, though, and
can lane a wanop without going
down for the count, unless It hap
pens to land In a particularly vul
nerable snot. Therj will be lit.tln
