for Their Contest Tuesday Night.
The Mcmillan -Racdy contest for the cham
pionship Of the District, which is scheduled
to take place at the Eureka Club, gives
promise of being one of the best bouts
that have been pulled off in this vicinity
for some years. Both contestants have
been training hard for some time and if
condition counts for anything they will
be in the best kind Of shape when they
enter the ring next Tuesday night
Pat Raedy has been putting on the fin
ishing touches at the Washington Outing
Club under the careful eye of Howard VIII
son, the clever local lightweight. Aside
from the side bet which has been posted on
the outcome of the fight Raedy is partic-
ularly anxious to be returned a winner in
his coming battle. He realizes that in Nc
MILAN he will be meeting Il man who has Il
reputation all over the country as Il game,
clever fellow. If he can succeed in putting
to issue challenges to some of the top
uOtchers.
Mcmillan has been training at Marlboro,
Md, aud has been working equally as hard
as Raedy. Heoucedefeated dRaedy'Sbrother
Mike and says lie feels confident that he
will just as easily dispose of Pat Nc
MilIan's strong points lies in his ability
TO endure punishment. He is a perfect
gluttOn in this respect and he has to bt
whipped we'll before he will go under.
Altogether the battle gives promise of
being first-claSS in every respect, and, judg-
ing from the way in which orders are pour
ing In for tickets, will come off before a
crowded house.
