C. middleweight champion, appears to have stepped down on the right foot in New York City. Word comes from the big town that Val has been taken under the wing of Ike Dorgan and has already been matched to fight a preliminary to the Johnny Dundee-Joe Hing fracas to be staged shortly in Gotham : It was forecasted on this page long before any one else was hep that Val had the professional bee buzzing around him and that he would soon be heard from in the country’s metropolis in the fighting game : Old-timers in Seattle who knew a thing or two about the manly art, have often said that Val would make his mark some day in the pro ranks, and those interested here will anxiously await the outcome of his professional debut. Should he make a mark in the pugilistic world it will be another feather in the cap of Chet McIntyre, veteran boxing instruc tor, who was until recently connected with the S.
