Another Tough Couple

Another hard-fought contest is confidently anticipated in the eight-round semi-final between Tony Livingston and Tiger Usoff the local Russian cruiser weight. who has claimed so many Marine scalps. Livingston, the Marines' new threat for the light-heavyweight crown now reposing on the curly head of Ubaldo Giometti, is reckoned a certainty to win by a knock-out in knowing circles, and there is no gainsaying the fact that in his gymnasium work he has proved to be one of the hardest hitters at In addition to the six boxing events two wrestling contests will be staged, Gerber of the U.S.S. Marblehead taking on Yerotsky of the Russian Regiment and Markoff meeting Savastian of the same outfit By permission of Colonel J. C. Fegan and officers, the Regimental Band of the Fourth United States Marines will play during intervals. Bookings for the programme may be made at Messrs. Squires, Bingham Ca. between 9 am. and 5 p.m. and thereafter until 10 p.m. at the Auditorium box office.
