June 28, promises to be a great
affair. The Club has some of
the best boxers in Portland on
their card and already ringside
seats are selling fast to a big
number of fans who will he there
from Portland.
A large crowd from Hillsboro,
Forest Grove, Cornelius and sur­
rounding country will also be on
hand. This is the first Amateur
Boxing Contest ever held in
Washington county and the
Beaverton Club is surely going
to have a big crowd. Prepara­
tions are being made so the affair
will be well handled and every­
one made comfortable for a good
