PRIDDY WILL NOT ,

STOKES CHAMPION PREFERS

ISSUED" CHALLENGE TO
i WINNER OF THE PRIDDY
i WILSON FIGHT LAST
j NOVEMBER. •
I
Must Corbett Priddy relinquish
his title as heavyweight cham
pion of Stokes county to Bo::
Morefield ?
This question is being discuss
ed by local sports who have been
agitating a bout between the
North View champion and the
Walnut Cove slugger on the night
of November 3 at Danbury.
But they have been met with
the refusal of Priddy to fight
Morefield. Corbett says he is
willing to fight Woodrow Law
son of Lawsonville, however.
Under the Marquis of
code it is claimed
that the holder of a title mu*
"ight all contenders or surrender
his belt. It is stated that Bot
Morefield challtngfd the winnei
of th€ Priddy-Wilson fight Oti
the night of November 11, Armis
tice W81n& Cove.
The public who are interested
in pugilism are very anxious to
see Prtddy meet Morefleld, as
thelfc twain are considered the
bfet; specimens of physical train
ing in the county. On the night
of November 11, 1935, Roy
Wilson, the Stedman lake cyclone,
went down before the Norti
View hurricane in a swirl of
frenzied acclaim furnished by
hundreds of fight fans. But be
fore the bell had sounded fo:
the first round the Walnut Cove
twister walked up and announcer
his eagerness to meet the guy
who won that bout. Although
Priddy was awarded the victory,
he has never taken official cog
nizance of Morefield's challenge
At least this is the testimony of
the testimony of ringside wit
i nesses.
However these matters may be
it is certain that the local box
ing world is becoming het up over
the situation aild very anxious to
see something happen.
Many people believe that Cor
bett will fare but middling when
Bob puts on the gloves, while on
the other hand there are plenty
of fans who claim that Priddy
has a punch like Joe Louis am 1
can beat any man in the county
and that Bob would be easy
money for him.

A reunion of the Rothrock

dence of E. A. Rothrock, Walnut
