SDort critics who have seen Cole
work have predicted that he will go
far in his division. , -
Facing Cole in the main brawl of
thf evening will be Rocky Smith, the
goal tender of the welter crow, a man
who Of late has knockedout Tony
Lyons, and Phil Kaplan,
Palmer, Jimmy Kelly, George Ward
and in fact has been making it , hot
fop the best of the welters.
In one of the most sensational
fights ever staged at the Garden thi
boy Smith and Ward held the fan|
attention during the entire fight
the public knows Ward, as the boy
who holds decisions over the present
champ Micky Walker. ,. t
Leonard has a line of prelims that
will surely please the crowd consist
ing of local talent .in the hopesr of
developing some future- star from
Wilmington. Any one attending this
match is assured of a good evening
£5id any one who misses this card will
regret it the rest of his life as people
are still talking about* last weeks per
formance and according to Leonard
this will far exceed the previous shpw.
Both men In the star bout arrived
yesterday and in the pink of condi
tion and predict victories - for them
selves in the line of a knockout. Mil
ler realizes that this is the chance of
his pugilistic career and therefore
his hardest for a win.
On the other hand Smith is anxious
to add another victim to his ever
filling scrapbood.
