bout between Battling SJtl nnnl Kiri

was thought that this would hurt
the gate at the Jv‘rnmn Dunne fight
on Friday. but much to thr- snrprisv
of everyone conccrnmi the two llronx
lads performed bvfore
record breaking assemblage. From
the interest shown in the imprndlng
bout it looks ss if Villa and Tre-
maine also will have them hanging
on the rafters.
In a way it is sort of hard to ac-
count for the cscltuntnt that this
match has stirred up. Villa's title
will not be at stake as 'l‘rcmninc can-
not make thu- flywcight limit. so
rrhops the main attraction is the old
possibility of a knovltout. Tl‘l‘nlillnt'
3 known to carry quite Ll. walk-p.
and the sight of \‘illa on the flour
would be sort of a novelty.
If this is going to happen the

or a. preliminary sctto in the minds
of the fans. But put a slight tinge
of excitement into a. contest and it
will fall under the head of box omce
attraction. ‘
Outside of the knockout possibil-
ity. no doubt. the tremendous popu-
larity of Villa will account for a
great many cash customers. This
atom of fighting machinery has
grown to be a. great card Elnt‘u he
arrived in this country a couple of
years ago Not only in New York
but outside of the Motropotis. does
Pancho Jam them in when-wet he
appears. Villa. can go out of town
and fill a. house to the roof win an
absolutely unknown boxer as an op-
ponent. The fans don't die-:m to
com whom he fights just as lung as
they can get. a glimpse of this little
ViSllOl‘ trom out in the Pacific. He
gives them action and never fails to
please. sud tnr these reasons is
probably the best attraction in the
boxing game outside of Jack hemp-
sey and Denny Leonard.

Frankie Gcnuro. and undoubtedly it
is this easy money which hv: can

sible to as great extent for his r~.lucv

_ While Villa is a. legitimate fly-
nweight be also has his ex es un the
baiimmwmght title. and he figures
that the bout with Tremaine is a
step in that direction. The Uneve-
lander is known as one of tht most
rugged men .n ms class. am: if he
should bow. to tile superiur‘snill of
the Filipino. then Villa. would be in
a very fair position to pu’ in a
strong bid for the crown now worn
The semi-final between Udnnon-
ball Eddie Martin and Charley Phi.
Rosenberg should be a corkiug good
bout despite the (set. that it. is only
s sin rounder. Martin has yet tn
reach his majority. and for this rea-
son cannot box over six rounds in
this state. but this has not stopped
Eddie from developing into too o't
the most promising hantams wound
Kev York. Rosenberg already has
established himself around here‘ as
s fighter of ability. but he is liable
to meet sort of s. setback when he
runs into Martin provided Eddie
continues to show up as well as he
has in his last few starts. Martin is
being toott-d as the next bnn'am~
weight ch' spion. and the bout with
ilosc-nimrg should win: a very good
line on his *rno ability.
