TOMMY FELTZ cARDED
TO BOX GUS BEZENAH.
Bantams Scheduled to Meet at BUSH
ness Mems Gymnasium Tonight
in a Twenty-Round Bout.

Tommy Feitz and Gus Bezenah are
carded TO meet tonight at the Business
Mems Gymnasium in a twenty-round bout
at I'D pounds. Bob Douglass being sched-
tiled to serve as referee. 1t will be Be
zenah's first opportunity to battle a man
Of high standing in the bantam division,
and he is said to be hopeful of the re-
suit.
Bezenah has fought some creditable
battles with men like George Munroe and
Morris Rauch. and has never been de-
feated, save once. and then on a foul.
This was in his battle with Rauch at the
West End Club. when he was disqualified
for fouling.
He is a Cincinnati product and is well
supported in his native town. That he
is a clever boxer is admitted, but whether
he can stand the rushes of Feltz is an
other question. FeltZ will be an over
Whelming favorite if any wagers are made
on the result of the battle.
Tommy has appeared here often enough
to make comment superfiuous. His style
is directly opposite to that of Beze-
nah. The men will probably enter the
ring shortly after 9 o'clock.
As a preliminary. Joe Yanger and Kid
Carlo will meet. They are carded to go
eight rounds at lis pounds. This will be
their fourth meeting. Carlo having a
victory to his credit. while Yanger won the
two other contests

day afternoon he left his home to go into
the pasture to look after some cattle. He
did not return at night, and the members

resuIted in the finding Of his hat in the
well several hours after. The well was
covered with boards. and one of these had
been lifted. As soon as the hat was
found floating On the top of the water
neighbors were and the body
was found at the bottom
The Coroner's jury returned a verdict to
the effect that he accidentally fell in as
the result OF being seized with an attack of
heart disease Harris frequently had at
tacks of heart trouble, int 1t is believed
that while going through the pasture he
lifted one of the boards TO look in the well
and fell in.
