Wildcat Ells vs. Billy Alger. 6 rounds. Battling Sam vs. Kid Busso. 4 rounds. Carl Morris will referee. The fight is under the auspices of the American Legion and is the cost liest ever brought here. California's best welterweight will meet the pick of the Arizona crop when Salinas Jack Robinson steps into the Ting with Kid Palmer at the Tally arena tonight. Phoenix fans who have been watching the career of Robinson as he downed one after another of his opponents on the coast will have an opportunity to see him at his best. He met the Arizona Wildcat while on the coast and came out of the fray with a draw. Both boys are determined that the event tonight will not be a draw. Althoueh an Arizona nmnnt trta Palmer has made a big reputation for himself on the coat and is considered a fast comer for the welterweight belt. He met the best of his weight while on the coast and the poorest showing he made was with Robinson, in the draw battle. The rest of them either toppled over for the count or stuck it out to a losing1 finish. The Kid's first appearance here against Johnny Celmers lat September when he easily , won the decision, marked his first big battle. Although he is only 20 years old he has already developed Into one of the best boys of his weight. Because the purse is one of the larg est ever offered here for any similar event and will be divided 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser, fais are assured of a fast go from start to finish. Both boys can hand out terrific wallops with either the right and left and can inflict some powerful body blows from short range. The dopsters are taking great interest in the fact that both are strong In fighters. Not only do they compare closely in their style but in every other manner they are evenly matched. They will weigh in at 155 pounds or forfeit 250. Kewpie Robinson ia a battler, a fighter who bores in much the same way as did Battling Nelson. The Kid Js a good boxer and heavy slugger He Is one of the fastest of his weight "that ever drew on a padded mit. Dynamite Kid Coming Fight fans are eager to see Battling Scotty mix it up with Mack Spaw In the semi-finals. Their bout Is attract ing almost as much interest as the main go. Scotty has fought his way Into the hearts of the local spotting element because of his readiness to meet all comers and fight as though he were after a million dollar purse. Scotty stands ricrht tin tr nv nt tv.,.. swaps blows with lightning rapidity. iju never iaiiea to give the fans a run for their money. In meeting Spaw he is going to be kept busy every second of the six rounds. Spaw takes blows like a duck, takes water and hands out sledge hammer blows that are hard to dodge. .,m Wildcat Ells Coming Wildcat Klls Just put the kayo to llolguin at Globe and is rarln' to repeat the performance when he meets Billy Alger in a six rounder. Alger was scheduled to meet Young Nugent but When the Wildcat made his remarkable showing at Globe, Billy clamored for chance to go after the bigger game Billy is in great shape and la confident he will come out of the match witn flying colors. There won't be all the science in the world displayed in this fight but when it comes to slugging both boys, will be there with four whirlwind padded gloves. Battling Sam and Kid Busso wilLfur nish the curtain ra.iser and although the match is only scheduled for four rounds each one of the boys is determined to cut it still shorter with a sleep produc inx wallon. There are a few good seats left at Doyle's cigar stand and the first ones mere wan get them.
