Daugherty and Goodman are in first

in particular looks in great shape. Good

quarters in the northern end of the city
and he promises to make a much better
showing than he did on the last occasion.
His boxing last Thursday won him many
supporters here. and as Daugherty has
many friends in the city, great interest Is
felt in the result
Daugherty is not disturbed by Good
mans prophecies of win in shcrt order
and is confident of repeating his victory
over Abe.
Il won from him In Boston lately" said
McGovern's former sparring partner, and
L know his style perfectly well. He made
a better showing than l expected him to-
Dut he caught me mapping once or twice
and landed blows he will not have an op-
portunity to do this time
One of Goodmans tricks Is to lump
suddenly nearly all the way across the
ring and then throw himself on an on
p2nent, using both hands. l hear he did
in hntr
one round of our bout he jumped at me
and reached me before l had more than
rlsen from my chair. He did this once or
twice thereafter but the third time | was
ready for him.
purpcseiy got up rather slowly from tne
ina. Gnar ana saw MIN make sudden jump
tryinS to slip. l jumped ct him myself
dodging his lead and slamming my left into
rest OF the bout. Our fight was fast throu IN
out. but it was also clever as freeI;; ad-
think l will best him again. though"
l nave fc'ght three times with men that
have appeared here since l left st LoUis
the last time. 1 met Tommy F'eltz in PhiI
adeipnia and while no decisions are rem
dered there. all the papers admitted I had
won Eno,.; oy q @ block Then l met Harry Harris.
l got the decision. over Goodman IN a iif-
teen round bout
Goodman Is sure that he VIII reverse ,he
verdict tonight and Is anxious to take on

to be clever tighter: Daugherty states

In the East and that the latter fgiiie- :,
