Clipping on the back, "Jun. 16, 1943- A combination of a promising fight and a good cause is expected to produce a near capacity crowd at tonight's Audtorium fight show. Left, Chuey Figueroa, paired with Al Citrino in the main event, squares off. Right are members of the American Women's Voluntary Service who will use show profits to purchase station wagons for transporting convalescent service men. They are: Miss Bess Corley, Mrs. T.L. Crump, Mrs. Lester Lewis and Mrs. O.M. Anwyl. The Boilermakers are sponsoring the show.--Tribune Photo." Photo shows four women wearing the AWVS uniform, standing together and laughing as they pose for the photo. They are all holding what appears to be playing cards.
