Fight Set for April 14The outcome is that arrangements are, now complete for another Legion fight card, the feature of which will be eight-round battle between Charley and a certain Barney Hassel of Graet-tinger, in which the local farmer-grappler-pugilist will defend his laurels, his anatomy and his claim that he is the roughest, toughest, most scientific and finished fighter now claiming Clay or Dickinson counties as his residence.The fight will be held Monday evening, April 14, at the boys’ and girls’ club building on the Clay County Fair grounds and will see Charley matched against the strongest adversary he has met so far.Investigating Hassel’s qualifications, the Legion’s matchmaking committee learned that Hassell is 22 years old, white, single, tough and ambition. They found, too, that he is not a novice in the ring but that because of his 210 pounds of weight and terrific punch, he has been unable to secure matches in these parts.- And among his other qualifications, they found that he aspires to bigger and better things and that he welcomes the appor-tunity to meet Clay county’s own contribution to the swat industry,considering it a stepping-stone to recognition.
