BOXER AND MAT MAN TO MEET AT GALENA 1922

"Strong Boy" Price of Eldorado, Kan., and George Applegate of. Lawton. Kan., will meet for a ten-round "wrestle-fight" in the main event of the smoker of the Galena Athletic Club Monday night, March 20. The contest will be held at the club's headquarters, Ninth and Main streets, beginning at 8 o'clock. The rounds will be of three minutes each. Joe Becker of Joplin will be the third man in the ring. 

Price defeated Earl (Sailor) Adams at Joplin in a similar bout before the Elks March 10, but Applegate, who is a wrestler, as well as being a boxer, feels that the contest may end differently Monday night.

Guy Bray, the Galena bulldog, is scheduled for a 6-round semi-windup with Battling Wren of Joplin. Bray has been training steadily and is in better condition than at any of his previous fights. The fight is foreseen as one of Bray's best. "Fighting" Taylor, who has been training with Bray, was floored for a clean-knockout by Bray Thursday night in a three round bout. Bob Campbell of Galena and Willie Crowder of Joplin met for their second time in a 6 round preliminary Monday. Their former bout ended in a draw. "Ching" Moore and Gerald Dorrls, wlll furnish four rounds of boxing as a curtain raiser. .
