The Casper lad is employed at the| Standard refinery and has a host of| frieinds here who wish him well when he climbs through the ropes to meet the Colorado heavy, Knapp, Friday event! His quiet pleasing manner and gentlemanly way has made the local boy a favorite not only with his friends in the city but with the} sport followers who have come in to the Oll City to witness Friday evening’s card.

O'Riley knows a fighter when he sees one and it is a dead and buried cinch that John knows what he is talking about. If Harvey continues to keep up his hard work he will be taken east this fall to get the finishing touches on his educa- tlon. ——— _ SPORT BRIEFS DETROIT — Jack McAuliffe, local heavyweight, was declared suspended and fined $200 by the state boxing commisstoner because of his alleged poor showing against Martin O'Grady of Los Angeles, last Monday night.

It was a triumphant day for Urben (Red) Faber, who made the first home run of his career when he drove the ball into the bleachers. Four lightning fast double plays featured speedy work of the Ath- letics’ support of “Slim” Harris.
