WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1954 JIERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PA68 THIRTIES (Sroiv, Weiser liHeet May " Knockout Seen For Headliner Boxing returns to the Klamath Falls Armory this Friday night, sod ft grand slam program is be ing planned by promoter Mack Lil lard as Idaho's lightweight champ, Jimmy Crow will be making a re turn appearance in the armory ring this time against Ralph Weis er of Beatty. The 10 round main event between Grow and Vie Beatty Bomber should be one of the finest 10 rounders held In the local ring for some time, with both fighters pointing - for ft knockout, - - - Weiser, who has been in train ing for some time, is working hard for this fight with Die talented Lewiston battler, and is known by many to possess a powerful punch in both hands, which might give Grow some trouble should the Bomber connect with either a sol id right or left. . It is unlikely that the fight will go the lull distance, as both boys have the fighting ability to stop his opponent should they get tbe chance to throw their "Sunday punch." Grow, who has run up three wins and a draw in four fights since ap pearing before the local ring public will weigh in for this fight in the neighborhood of 133 pounds, while Weiser will be close to the 133 pound mark, his best fighting weight. These two fighters have never fought before, but since Grow's knockout victory Over Merrill's Georgie Price last August, Weiser has been clamoring for a matchc with the Idaho sensation who has speed and power behind each punch he throws. Lillard is also planning to give th fans their money's worth In the four and possibly five support ing bouts that are lined up for the preliminary to the Grow - Weiser 10 round headliner. In a six round semi windup bout, itc ".on should be fast and furi ous as Chuck Rough meets Johnny Mark of Seattle. Rough, a Chilo quln battler with a sharp fighting style, is future main event mater ial, according to several of his fol lowers, and will be out to prove this point at the expense of Mark. The Seattle youth is not to be taken lightly, as are any of Bob Wark's fighters have shown quite wcu in receub armory meetings, such, as Frankie Sharp, the boy who stopped Bobby Barney's string of KOs on the supporting card of the Grow Price battle last sum mer. In another scheduled six rounder, Barney, the Sprague River knock out artist, is Blated to tangle with Eddie Brown of Beatty, one of Weiser's SDarrintr nartners. in what Is shaping to be a dupli cate of the main event as both boys are pointing for a knockout and keeping the fight from going the full distance. In one four round bout, P. K. Watson of Willow Ranch, will meet Junior Riddle, another Weiser sta ble mate, in a preview for Watson, who is an ex-KUHS boxer. Riddle, who has also been training with the Beatty Bomber should prove to be a tough test for the Willow Ranch fighter. In two other four round matches. Dick Henry, of Beatty and the Weiser fighting machine, will prob ably meet Billy Plummer of Bly while Don Ficard of Chiloquin is still short an opponent, but Wark is bringing another fighter from Seattle with him for the brilliant punching Picard, according to lat est word received by Lillard.
