Oakley vs Beasley, Convict In Chains, Winner Takes All . Program For Friday INight 28 Five Real Bouts Set For Friday Night, Program is Unusual and Should Produce More Real Fighting Than Has Been Seen Here Lately. KING vs. HESS AND YOUNG vs. STANFIELD Roxboro fans are promised a real treat at the New Arena on Friday night, Feb. 28th. The entire card has been booked under a contract that calls for the winner to take all; the loser gets the air. This should make the boys fight harder for the very simple reason that they cant collect unless they win. * Another feature of the card for Friday is that Sam Lyler, colored, of the State prison camp, will box A1 Bailey, colored, of Roxboro. Sam is in chains and has to fight that way. He is not allowed to y e ™°Y® his chains even during the fight. It is reported that Sam puts up a mean battle. . „ The main bout of the evening will be between Clyde Oakley, 148 pounds, Roxboro, and William Beas ley, 152 pounds, New Bern. Oakley is training hard for this fight. He believes that he can lick but has no desire to lose the fight and thus lose the purse. Oakley has recently accepted a position with Collins and Aikman Corp. He works there eight hours a day, mauls logs eight hours a day and sleeps eight hours. Oakley is one of the boys who takes his fighting seriously and he never lets up from the time he goes in the ring until he comes ° U King and Young from Roxboro are also on the card. Both are promisnig boxers and know some thing about glove pushing. Winstead makes his second ap pearance. He did a nice job on his first trio to the ring and should be better this time.
