SPORTING MISCELLANY.
a uniformly good class OF boxers Is
the array of talent announced for the
opening exhibition OF the Seaside Ath.
letic club at Coney Island on Wcdnes-
day night. The bout OF the night is the
ten-round 20 between Mike Leonard and
Eddie Pierce. The Brooklynite has n
reputation to sustain. and his worst
defeat was suffered at the hands of
Pierce. The latter returns to the ring
with the stigma of a decisive defeat by
George Dixon as the blot which rests
upon creditable record. At catch
weights Leonard's strength should give
him an advantage, but the Sixth Warder
is shifty and scientific boxer and has
been training faithfully to make his re-
turn to the squared circle an occasion OF
glory for him. Danny Mcbride and Jack
DoWney should make a clever bout OF
their six-round contest Mcbride has
been well tried, and his opponent is
struggling up the ladder. Hugh Winters
and Jim Holmes both have names to
win and will try hard for the decision in
their eight rounds The entertainment
VIII be opened at $50. 1t should be fin
ished before ll.30.
