Show ill ' w !j j j j I f i f ( With the training over, both Terry jfli ' Keller, the hard hitting, light-heavy - fi weight boxer of Baltimore, and Jim Ji Downing, the heavyweight champion " ''li;' of Utah, are now quietly waiting for : ? the gong that will send them togeth- ' j' er tomorrow night for the Western , ,'f, championship. The bout takes place I. ,' k at tho Armory and goes for twenty I !, (l frames. ' . The winner of this battle will get a j- ft! ? i crack at Jack Denipsey, the first part Y of March. Both Keller and Downing ;, ', , are confident of winning, and It is a I j J sure bet that the fans will see one of tho greatest battles ever staged in if Ogden. Downing will outweigh Keller ..' I eight or ten pounds, but the slugging yl : Terry savs, "Ho'll bo even in weight with me" by the end of the seventh f j round; I do not expect tho bout to go '' over fifteen rounds and I'll be the j , . winner." Downing, however, looks at tho bout from a different angle. He merely states: "I have got my chance and my friends will not be disappointed. I will be the winner." So, as It goes, there is first ono side and then tho other and tho winning side is not known until the bout is over. For referee, Bill has secured Hardy Dow.ning of Salt Lake City. Hardy probably is the best known sportsman in the west, and his decision is always of the highest order. The semi-wind-up will be a six-round six-round go between Kid Koko, the sensational sen-sational lightweight of Ogden, and Red Hogan, another boxer who is out to take Koko's crown. A four-round amateur curtain raiser will start tho big show going at S:30 sharp. The seat sale is moving along rapidly rapid-ly and indications point to a record house. |
