D., Dec. 28—With the | fight bug buzzing furiously over the} entire country, fans of the northwest | have shown great interest in the an- mouncement that Fargo Lodge No. | 260, B. P. 0. 48., will sponsor an ath- | Yetic. entertainment on Monday even- j ing, Jan. 2, in the Fargo auditorium as the feature of the annual Home- | coming Day program. A large class} of candidates will be initiated during} ‘the afternoon and many members of| the antlered tribe are. expected to| gather to witness the “fun.” Promoters for the lodge have an-|} nounced what’ promises to be one of the most interesting boxing programs’ ever presented in the northwest, ex- cluding the Twin Cities. Jack Bailey of Fargo, who recently sprang into the limelight by victories over Jack Mullen of Duluth, Al Lawrence of St. Paul and “Kid” Miller of Cleveland, is scheduled to cover the 10-round route with Leo Stokes, formerly of Oakland, Calif., now of Fargo, Stokes boxed on the Pacific coast under the | name of “Sailor” Bosco and defeated | some of the best men in the game, in- ; cluding the immortal “Battling” Or! tega. The men will box at 158 pounds, .As a semi-windup for the show Rus- | sie LeRoy of Fargo, the sensational lightweight of the northwest, and Georgie Bowers of St. Paul, consider. ed to be one of the best lightweight boxers in the Twin Cities, will mix in a 10-round bout. These boys tray eled over the same route a short time ago and after a pretty exhibition, the newspapermen called it a draw. The youngsters re going to have an ex- cellent cpportunity to settle their dif- ferenges in Fargo.
