Probably no two lightweights in the
business stand in higher estimation
with the sports OF this part OF the
country than do Otto Sieloff, the hard
hitting German, who has wonderful
" good record and Curlcy Supplies, tho
Buffalo youngster who has been max
ing such rapid strides toward the light
weight championship during the past
six months. The matching of these
two men by the North End A. @. of
Akron, will go far to establish Supplies
real standing, as he has been making
his best impressions in bouts limited to
six and ten rounds of late, while Sieloff
has demonstrated time and again that
he is better at the longer distances
than In short bouts. If Supplies can
travel for 20 rounds at the same clip
he has worked In his battles with Popp,
Sanchez, DAILY and others, he will be
fast enough, In the opinion Of experts
TO win over the former Detroit man.
The contest between Supplies and Sic
loft brings together boxers of opposite
types. Sieioff Is one of the busy kind,
carrying fight to his man mt all stages
of the contest, n hitter of more than
ordinary force with either hand, and
one who can take as we'll as give
punishment. Supplies on the other
hand is clever, shifty fellow, taking
no chances, but always boring in clean
~, scoring hard and often, and with a
defense remarkable for its perfection
