both men fighting at 165 pounds
in a four round semi-windup.
Bennett is an aggressive hard
fighting man, who can mix, and
we are assured from the Port­
land fight followers that Long
sure does like his mixings and
will attempt to satisfy Bennett's
longing Saturday night.
One of the prelims lined up,
is between Billie Little of Port­
land and Kid Scott of Timber
both men fighting at 115 pounds
in their 4 round mixto.
Scott is well known around
the Timber district and with
Bennett, another drawing card
from Westimber, will have a
large following from Timber and
the camps to see these boys
strut their foot work Saturday.
Taking the card all around it
seems as well balanced as any
card ever presented in this city,
and it is hoped that the fans
will be as well pleased as at the
recent fight in the Legion hall
March 9.
Good Double Main
Event Scheduled For
Saturday Night Card
Fight fans who quickly size up
the outline for a boxing card,
will be at ease after surveying
the lineup arranged by Match­
maker Pat. Murphy for the
smoker next Saturday night.
Another double main event,
with Dove Knight battling John­
ny Topaz, that hard egg from
Spivey’s stable of boxers and
who gave Knight a dandy run

Kid Nelson Fights Dur­
ham Again Tomorrow
Then Dane Brady in the other
half of the main event will meet
Jack Tweed from Portland, and
those who witnesses these two
young glove throwers fight at
Forest Grove a few months ago,
will appreciate the fact that the
boys were re-matched.
Chet Bennett of Timber is to
battle Pat Long of Portland,
Kid Nelson popular Vernonia
fighter will battle a return match
with Bull Durham of St. Helens
in the main event of the Ameri­
can Legion smoker, tomorrow
night at Sa. Helens.
Lee Davis of Vernonia will
fight thd semi
windup
with
Young Barcus of St. Helens, in
a four round battle.
The match between Bull Dur­
ham and Nelson was a demand
after these boys fought a draw
at Forest Grove a week ago last
Wednesday and pleased the larg­
est crowd ever to witness a
smoker in recent years in this
city.
Lee Davis also fought at the
