Star Studded Boxing

What promises to be the best
local fight program fans. have
had the pleasure of seeing since
Promoter -Tommy Cussans_ began bringing professional boxing Back in Flint is scheduled
for tonight at the IMA Auditorium. Featured in the 3l-round
card is a 10-round battle between Flint~s Jock Leslie, and
Benny May, the Fighting Rabbi
out of Montreal. The first match is scheduled - for~ 8:15.

Jock, sixth -ranking world~s s
featherweight, is expected to
have his hands full tonight
when he clashes with May. The
Montreal battler, who hcids the
Canadian featherweight title, +
considered one of the game~s
most promising young battlers.
He is not only a clever boxer,
but a hard puncher.

Because of his punching power, Jock will go into the ring a
~slight favorite, but Manager Les
Krell in signing for the match
samittzd Jock would have to
to be at his best to take the
Canadian. Jock is considered
}pound for pound, one of the
~games~s hardest hitters.

While Jock and May. have top

equal opportunities for a better education and cultural advantages there need be _ no
