Imported dancing girls, Salt Lake City and local boxers, a big chicken dinner, and a dance to finish the evening is the program outlined by the Massey Bros, of Vernal who are staging the event for the benefit of the LaPoint Ward Hall. Jeanne Dore, a Fanchon and Marco star from Salt Lake City, featured at and Cleo Hayward, the Colonial Club and the Playhouse theatre will give several dance acts between the matches. These girls are at the top of their profession and their performances will be, to many, the highlights of the evening. Headliner on the boxing card are Sammy Hatch of Vernal and Billy Black of Salt Lake City. Sam Hatch, the pride of Vernal, is a young and coming boxer and is a favorite through the Basin. His opponent is a game and very dangerous boxer, and is expected to hold up his end of the 8 round match. Harold White of Duchesne is known as an honest boxer who never says quit. He is matched on against Carl the boxHacking of LaPoint, a game real a Harold will give er who run for his money In the 6 round match.
