Boxing Bouts at Scandia Hall Mike
De Pinto and Billy Watson Ready
, For 10-Round Go
Twenty-four rounds of clever boxing and real fighting
make up the program for Scandia hall tomorrow when
i Matchmaker Johnnie Sylvester will stage the benefit
j card for the poor youngsters of Klamath Falls. The boys
I in every one of the four bouts are evenly matched, and
the bdxing fans will know they ve seen a card far above
the average.
Mike De Pinto and Billy Watson are scheduled for
10 rounds in the main event. Both boys worked out
yesterday before a large crowd of fans, and De Pinto
showed he was in far better condition than when he
battled Kid Starkey to a draw here two months ago.
Watson says he expects to repeat a decision he got
over De Pinto at Eureka some months ago, only this
time he hopes to floor the Portland Italian as early as
possible. Mike, however, insists that Wason's decision
was on eof those "home town" affairs and that it why
he is doubly anxious to even up the score.
The six-round battle between Chuck Sams of Klamath
and Mickey Gibbons of Eureka is going to be a whirl
wind affair. The little Eureka scrapper wants to stay
was one of those "home town" affairs and that it why
he is going after Sams in an effort to make it a decieive
win. With the irrmrovement which Sams has been
showing in training, young
B lot of work for himself tomorrow nignt, ana uie rans
are-assured of a real scrap from gong to gong.
Sid Herbert and Kid Clark are billed for a four-round
special event, with Sid, a popular local favorite, signal
izing his return to the ring. Ed McDonald and Kid
Thomas will furnish a medley of blows in a four-round
opener.
The proceeds from the card will bs given to the Even
ing Herald's Kiddies' Christmas fund, which will furnish
toys for all of Klamath's poor, but deserving youngsters
on Christmas morning. So those who attend the fights
will not only see a mighty good card of leather shov
ing, but they'll likewise be helping a worthy cause.

the change in exchange for the!
check on each occurrence.

drew checks from $25 to $50 to
pay for articles purchased.
Hill has been living at the Ray
