The late hour at which the bout be-
tween Bennett and Matthews was pull
ed off Tuesday night, did not appear to
give satisfaction to the patrons of the
Metropolitan club, and the management
has therefore determined to start the
preliminary tonight at nine o'clock
sharp, the main event to follow imme-
diately after. Joe Bremen, of Parkers-
burg, and Buzz Auber, of Wheeling,
will mix up in the curtain raiser.
The event OF the evening will be
between Dick Moore. of Philadelphia,
and Harry Fischer, of Brooklyn. These
men are top-notchers, both having met
the best boxers in the business.
Moore was secured to AXE the place
of Jack O'Brien, who is sick. Fischer
is known to local lovers of the game
because of his bout at the Bridgeport
club house, when he showed all kinds
OF steam and cleverness. He will prob
ably be the favorite in the battle. al
though the records of the two men in
dicate that they are well matched.
They will enter the ring at catch
weights.
Officials of the club received tele-
grams from both the principals, stat
ing that they had started from their
homes. Both are expected to arrive
this morning. They will rest quietly
during the day, and will enter the ring
in good condition.

Master Workman Of the K. of L.. at
present United States Commissioner Of
immigration, was the honor guest at
the third night of the "All Organized

Mr.. Powderly was warmly greeted by
a good sized audience and evoked con-

He started out by saying that "All
Labor Men are Expansionists, from the
fact that they are broadening in prin-
ciple, are getting closer together in
their relations, and are becoming more
of one mind all the time in regard to
their own interests" He said ne was
glad to meet his fellows as brother ex-
pansionists and then proceeded to dis
cuss briefly the alien contract labor
law and urged the trades ~unionists of
Pittsburg and vicinity to combine in
an effort to secure much needed amend
