night at Industrial Hall, Philadelphia.
1t will be the third time the men have

superiority between them will be set
tied.
Sharkey has announced that the win
ner of this bout will meet him before

Should either of the big fellows knock
the other out the winner will get the
match with Sharkey. AS official deci-
sons are not given in Philadelphia
fights, Sharkey expects to be on hand
to make the decision for himself in case
there is no knockout.
II is said that the manager of Indus
trial Hall has assurances that the au-
thorities will not insist on another Shar-
key-Maher Overlapping match in to-
nights bout. If that is the case the
fight should be a good one, IS neither
Rubin nor Maher is satisfied with the
result of their previous bout.
