	Never since his first fight here, when he kayoed Ray Pelky, did Young Firpo appear to better advantage than he did against Dillon last night.

	Each round was but a repetition, with Firpo charging like a maddened bull, connecting frequently with hard smashes, and Dillon, his brow knitted in a puzzled frown, futilely seeking some way to stop the relentless and unorthodox charge. Firpo felt the canvas, himself, but each time being carried to the floor by the force of his wild charges across the ring. In the sixth, he tore into Dillon and the impact hurled both battlers over the ropes and into the unguarded laps of several cash customers.

		== '''IDAHO MINER SMASHES WIN OVER CANUCK''' ==

		By Don McCloud

		His face smudged with coal dust, a strapping youth arose from the darkened depths of an Idaho mine five years ago, blinked a pair of astonishingly wide eyes at the unaccustomed daylight and struck out for the nearest gymnasium. He never ventured into the mines again.

		Last night, this same youth made another ascension. But instead of rising to a mere street level, as he did five years ago, lifted himself to a high spot on the fistic horizon of the Pacific coast, if not the United States.

		The husky fellow, who today is perched among the top notchers of the light heavyweight division, is Young Firpo, alias Guido Bardelli, Burke, Idaho's bid for pugilistic fame.

	Young Firpo, who likes to be called the "Wild Bull" of Burke, Idaho, and Harry Dillon of Winnipeg, whom Firpo will meet in the ten-round main event of the Auditorium fight show Tuesday night, will hold their last boxing workouts at their respective gymnasiums today at 1:30.
	Despite the big interest in the coming appearance here of Primo Carnera, prospects thus far are that a good crowd will turn out of Tuesday's program, according to Ralph H. Gruman, promoter. More than the usual number of out-of-town orders for tickets have been received.
	Gruman lays this interest to the hear-hitting style of the two opponents. Although Firpo has appeared here in several bouts and has gained a fairly wide reputation for his socking ability, many fans in the vicinity have not yet had a chance to see him and so will not overlook this opportunity. Firpo is a miniature Dempsey, who uses a weaving, short, jolting punch. He came here practically unknown and was pitted against Ray Pelkey, the Oakland light-heavyweight who has been in the fight game for 16 years or more, and who at that time was winning regularly. Pelkey lasted just two rounds. Later Firpo too on Del Fontaine, a stable mate of Dillon's after Fontaine had made himself popular with Portland customers.

	~~'''Dillon Desires Revenge'''~~

	Firpo found the bobbing Fontaine hard to hit, but gained a decision over him. Fontaine wanted another chance, and got it a week later in Seattle. This time he went to sleep as the result of one of Firpo's terrific punches. Dillon saw this bout, and immediately sought a match with the idea in mind of gaining revenge for the defeat suffered by his stable mate. Dillon now has his chance. The bout will be his 20th in Portland rings. He will have a slight advantage in weight, but probably not much. '''Bold text'''
