Baxter Roper, caricatured above
by an artist of his home tov.n. Co
lumbus, Georgia, comes to Shelby
Saturday night of this week with
the intention, he fays, of kayoing
Terry Roberts, ihc McAdenvillc
Man Mauler.
To which local fans are natur
ally saying “pooh-poch " Threaten
ing to get in and mix it up with the
big Blonde McAdenville boy is one
thing, while actually doing it is an
entirely different thing, chirp the
fistic fans here who have watched
the flying fists of the 'Man Maul
er."
Still Roper, once known in Geor
gia as “John the Barber," declares
that he Is coming up to do just
that and nothing else, for that reas
on Arthur Sides, matchmaker for
the Warren Hoyle post of the Am
erican Legion, is hoping that he can
exhibit,some real boxing before a
Shelby crowd in the Thompson
building Saturday night
Date Is Changed.
The 42-round boxing program was
billed for Friday night, but rather
than interfere with high school
basketball and the Hoey contest.
Sides and the Legion officials have
shifted the program to Saturday
nieht.
Good Battles.
The Roberts-Roper bout will go
for 10 rounds—unless, of course, one
of the two big boys goes to sleep ere
the tenth gong.
The semi-final will see a Shellfy
youth. Big Joe Singleton, high
school athlete, i n action against
Ralph Hood, who was a ring sensa
tion in Charlotte three years. Sing
leton learned the manly defense art
from “'Rudy” Matthews, former high
school boxing instructor. and now
holding a similar job at the State
University. Hood under ordinary
circumstances would be too much to
pit against the hefty Shelby boy,
but Hood has been on the shelf for
a couple of years and is now stag
ing a come-back. Even so he will
find a tough customer in Singleton,
one of the most perfectly-condition
ed athletes in the state.
Foster Bark.
"K. O.” Foster, the long limbed,
driving fighter from McAdenville
who flattened Jack‘Blanton, Spin
dale pride here a few weeks back,
will face J. D. McLelland, a fistic
hope of the Ora mill village, in one
Of the preliminaries.
In another prelim. Logan 'Babe”
Carr, the most popular of local
sluggers, will go in the ring with
Johnny "K. O." Fisher, of Lowell.
"Stump” Braswell, the sawed-off,
hard-hitting little fellow from Mc
Adenville w ho made a good impres
sion here in Sides’ other program,
is to have his hand full in a prelimi
nary with "Boots” Hall of Belmont.
Crown Lind, a Dover Mill boxer,
will take on "Kayo” Burrage. Mc
Adenville in a preliminary, while a
bout between "Battling” Jackson, of
South Shelby and a former army
fighter., and another slugger yet to
be selected is pending.
The main bout goes 10 rounds, the
semi-finals for eight rounds, Foster
McLelland bout for eight. Carr
Fisher for sixv Braswell-Hall for six.
Lind-Burrage for four and the
Jackson bout for four.
The ring at the Thompson build
ing has been enlarged, the sealing
arrangement improved and Legion
officials rlong with Sides, their
matchmaker, hope to entertain
Shelby's largest boxing gathering
Saturday night.
