There'! few

rent of which would draw boxing
fans In any club on the coast.
It's main event with sock sp-

Introduction to local fans. His foe,
Frankie Oimbel, it also a fighter
hailing from the Northwest who be
lieves In going home early and has
proved It with his blazing lists.
Boxing fans the world over love
hard hitter, a man that can cut
down a foe with one dynamite blow
from a gloved fist.
Friday night thereH be two such
battlers under the armory arcs, both
coming In around the 165-pound
mark and both of whom have been
near the top rung of the middle
weight ladder.
' If the fight goes the limit of ten
rounds, every spectator at the ar
mory will be surprised. When two
hard punchers mix in 30 minutes of
action, the odds against both fight
ers finishing in an upright position
are top-heavy.

For Snapp it's an Important event.
After six months' absence from
the ring. The Snapper Isnt crowd
ing back Into the picture with a soft
touch.
Snapp Is dead serious about mak
ing his return go a successful one.
I think local tans will see a vastly
improved Snapp. He's put on a tew
more pounds which should add po
tent heft to his blows.
Snapp was having trouble making
the middle limit tn his last . few
bouts. The lay-off should be bene
ficial. He's kept in shape and has
been boxing regularly at SOCK
Where he's attending school.
Hell be strong and it will take a
lot of convincing from the hard
socking Spokane lad to turn him
back In his first return bout.
The last time the two squared off.
May XI In Tacoma, Snapp was on
the canvas three times, G imbed once.
