Sheahan and Durane-Zeigler and
Durane Boys to Give Exhibitions
Wednesday.
owen Zeigler and Bobby Thompson
will not box under the auspices of the
Savannah Athletic Club Wednesday
night. Thompson has gone to Toronto.
and so the match here has been indefi-
nitely postponed. 1t will probably take
place some time in November. We'd
nesday the Savannah Athletic Club
will have no bout of any kind, but
ZeigIer and the Durane boys will prob
ably put on a couple of exhibition
bouts at the Royal. These were to
have been given Friday night, but
were postponed on account Of the bad
weather.
The Athletic Club has a number of
other bouts framed Up for the remain
der OF the month, however. among
which. one of the principal ones will
be a 20-round mill between Tommy
Feitz and Danny Dougherty for Oct.
%. These men met a few weeks ago
and Feltz won the battle by knocking
Danny out in the fourth round.
Dougherty was suffering at the time,
he claims, with an abcess in the ear,
and consequently succumbed to
punch that otherwise would not have
worried him to any great extent. His
ear will be well by the time of the
next battle, he thinks, and he also
figures that there will be a different
result to the bout.
FeltZ will be home tomorrow, fresh
from a victory over Johnny Regain,
an old opponent of his, and one of the
best men in his class in the country.
Tommy won the decision over him aft
er a battle of twenty rounds, as has
already been stated in the Morning
News. Feltz is said to be in his old
time form, which means that he is
fast, and has steam behind his blows
the sort of thing that wins bouts.
<AllOll4SI bdNllG OF more imam UNUSUAL
interest win be that betwvn Ed. Len
ny and Andy Daley, which is to be
pulled off Oct. 20. Daley has boxed
twice in Savannah, the first time get
ting the decision over Feltz after
twenty rounds of hard work, and the
second time being bested in the same
number of rounds by the little local
man.
Lenny, too, is know here through his
bout with Tim Callahan and with Joe
Fairburn. both of which took place
under the auspices of the local club.
He has achieved an even greater place
in the pugilistic world within the last
few days by his battle with Young
Corbett, which took place in Philadel-
phia few nights ago. In that fight
Lenny stayed with the lightweight
champion of the world for six rounds,
the limit of the bout
1t is not known when Lenny will ar
rive. but Daley sailed for this city yes
tercay, and should be here sometime
Tomorrow. Al McMurray the match
maker of the local club. is now with
Feltz When he returns it is expected
that he will announce a number of
other bouts to be given, once a week,
during the course of the winter.
Still another bout to be given under
the auspices of the club is that be-
tween Jack Sheahan and Jack Durane.
Sheahan is anxious to have this take
place by Nov. !, but the club has no
open date about that time and SO the
matter is not yet settled.
