SCRE me ewer ta Be A _ ARRANGED BY HALL ~ FOR DOME PAVILION * Lee Cavanagh Says He Will Not Slip Up on Chance to Lick Fargo Flash LEROY GETS LARGE SUM Manager Jack Hurley and Rus- sie Agree That Lee Is a Tough Nut to Crack Russie LeRoy will meet Lee Cava- nagh here March 7. This was announced here this morning by Isham Hall, local pro- moter and manager of the Bismarck welterweight. The bout will be carded for 10 rounds and will be staged at the Dome pavilion, midway between Bis- marck and Mandan. Hall and W. J. Godwin, Mandan, will promote the show. Jack Hurley, manager of the Fargo welterweight,and Billy Petrolle,Char- ley Retzlaff, Angelo Puglisi, and several others, agreed to send LeRoy against the Bismarck pounder the first week in March. Isham this morning notified him that March 7 is the date for the affair. Seats 1,500 Fans The promoters have picked the Dome pavilion, believing that they can seat 1,500 fans in the building with comfort. The ventilating sys- tem in the building makes it an ideal place for an athletic show. LeRoy is getting @ lot of money for the fight, Hall says, but he will draw a crowd as he is one of the best- known and most popular fighters the state has ever had. In a_ recent comeback fight at Fargo, Russie earned a draw with King Tut, Minne- apolis mauler who took a decision from Billy Petrolle just a few weeks earlier. Fargo fans say Russie has come back and is just as good as he ‘was when he was in his prime. That Russie and Lee are well- matched was indicated .when they both fought on the New Year’s Day card ata Fargo. Cavanagh impressed Fargo fans at that show as a power- ful fighter when he fought a draw with Angelo Puglisi, Duluth, rated as one of the best “comers” in the northwest today. And the Bismarck Irishman came through in great shape here Feb. 1 when he knocked out Tiger Johnny Compton, Minot, in the fifth of a 10-round headline bout at the Dome. Lee In Good Shape In‘his last fight Lee was in better shape than at any other time in his pugilistic career. He led the fight all the way, showed that he could take’ hard wallops without weakening and demonstrated that he carries dynamite in his right. Compton will testify to that. Cavanagh has been waiting for an opportunity to meet LeRoy for many @ day, he says, and is not going to let this opportunity to beat him slip through his fingers. He has been in training most of the winter and will merely polish up on his style between now and March 7. He realizes that Russie is a good man, but says the only effect this has on him is to make him work harder. He will not lose any sleep worrying over the outcome of the bout be- cause he has made up his mind already what the outcome will be. LeRoy and Hurley are making no Predictions at present, but it is gen- erally known that they regard Lee as @ tough nut to crack. Hall and Godwin today launched | into the work of arranging for an » attractive card of preliminaries. Al Cornsweet Is Athlete, Scholar Providence, R.

Here is an old-time training camp scene. taken shortly before July 4, 1910, in the Montezuma Mountains near Las Vegas, N. M. A group of old- timers such as these was often seen twenty or thirty | years ago, but not now. On that memorable Fourth of July in 1912, Jim Flynn, the only man credited with knocking out Jack Dempsey, met Jack Johnson, then thi weight champion, at Las Vegas. Herewith are pictured a gathering of camp visitors Reading from left to right, they are: C. Farley, town official; Leon Delgado, sheriff; Secre- | tary of State Romera; Burns, dishwasher; C. Coleman, cook; Jim Flynn, the hero; Al Williams, his sparring partner, and Percy Holman, a young man who tritd to be a fighter and failed. Delgado and Romera, appearing for all the world like a pair of moving picture comedy artists, per- formed their official duties with such zeal that they were forced to get new guns. Their old ones had so many notches that the handles had nearly vanished. In their efforts to keep the wild and woolly west free of outlaws, both Delgado and Romera had killed more than ten men when this picture was taken. Times have changed since then.
