The course has been laid out in the northwest channel and can be viewed from the government, Mallory and Porter docks.

A dinner dance wiil be given at the Hotel La Concha for the visiting yachtsmen. Two attractive numbers have been arranged.

Those who have purchas- ed tickets for this evening’s dinner are urged to make reservations at the “BOXING CARD ARRANGED FOR COMING WEEK KID WHITE AND JACKIE HIN- DLE TO BE SEEN IN MAIN BOUT OF SHOW TO BE STAG- ED AT GARDEN THEATRE | ’ ¥ The first boxing card in several weeks has been arranged to take. place next Friday at the Garden Theatre. Topping the card are Kid White and Jackie Hindle, lightweight champion of New Jersey. White made numerous friends in Key West dur- ing his first appearance in the city when he administered a severe beat- ing to Filipino Delgado. It will be remembered that during that fight White sprained his wrist so severely that the bout was stopped despite White’s pleas to continue. White was declared in that exhibition to be one of the hardest hitters ever seen in Key West, and probably is one of the best to be found in this part of the country. | Jackie Hindle needs no _ intro- duction to the fight fans of . Key West, as his showing here several weeks ago against the tough Fili- pino Delgado stamped him as one of the cleverest and fastest boys in the south. He is a moving target, hard to hit, and seldom misses his op- ponent with his flash-like left and right crosses. He outboxed Delgado completely throughout the bout Hotel La Concha. : conducted at the time stated. C. R.

The crown is his. by virtue of a 15-round viciory on points over Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh, at Madi- son Square Garden last night. The mar sin was not large, yet enough to convince the judges and referee. Greb was not what he has been in previous defenses of his title, for after four rounds he forsook his “windmill” attack and poised his right hand for a damaging blow. This blow never landed, and Flow- ers, lashing out continually, gained the verdict for aggressiveness and a willingness to fight throughout. Many; critics argued that the decision for by MacFarlane during a recent should have been a draw.

A $1,500 prize has been offered the winners of the proposed match, which will no doubt prove to be one of the most interesting yet to be seen on the Stock Island course. The final 18 holes of the match will be played over the Holly Golf 10. ar- y TAX ASSESSOR’S NOTICE | All persons, corporation or firm, ‘owning property, whether real or personal, subject to taxation by the | City of Key West, are hereby re- i quired: to make returns of same be- \fore the first day of March, 1926. suffered NELSON TO MEET HARRY.
