C A P O RA l. 8161111118 Qficrog} i Kell, Tigers Saturday night September 17 will he a big night in local boxing annals tn Summerside when the Canadian Legion bouts staged in connection with their mammoth t-ni-ttival which has been running all week will be staged. Jim Ho- gan. promoting the meet for the Legion, has lined up what he thinks is a top notch card of fighters with the opening bout bct\vccn Slugger DeCoste and Ar- nold MacAusland, two boys who have so fnr shown considerable fis- tic ability. The opener is followed by an- other three-round bout between George Grady and Austin Square- hriggs, which is billed as an ex- hibition bout. Watch that one. Bud Lund and Harry Poulton follow with a three-round exhibi- tion bout which should show plenty of action and then for com- edy in four rounds there will be plenty of it in the blindfold fight between Allison Arsenault and Killer Gallant. The semi-finals between Eugene Pendcrgast, son of P. E, Island's old time favorite Big Jim. and Em- mett Gallant brings together two rugged hoys who bid fair to go far up the ladder of Sistiana. There seems to be plenty of ex- citement in the \Vestern Capital over the big event on Saturday's card, the bout between Kid Mur- ray and Big Boy Peterson, and although it will be a decision fight the crown of the Big Boy is not at stake. Both fighters have appar- ently n host of supporters who will no doubt be on hand to back their favorite and the main event will assuredly draw a full house.-—S.
