MATCHMAKERS believe they have A dandy card lined up As to that ve are in little position to say as many of the youngsters are strangers and clippings about past performances too often lie The main bout certainly seem noteworthy however though of course it may turn out to be a flop with the other bouts sizzing affairs They turn out that way too often and you never can tell what will happen at a box fight show But Rowsey is a tough willing hoy and Denning is certainly pushover As pointed out on this page before if Denning is in condition he may give the fans a big surprise In the past he has been too prone to dally about and not stay in condition but they do say he is keeping out of the primrose path just now and is in fine fettle Harmon and Smith the two welters hilled for action against each other come particularly highly recommended Smith is considered about the classiest welterweight boxing out of Virginia and Harmon has a scrap hook bulging with accounts of the good work he has done against a horde of well known boxers Bill Tarrish carries a good reputation and Little Boy Safrit showed when he worked here two weeks ago that he has plenty with which to entertain the fans
