kind of a fight, and Munroe has his. and
what this amounts to should be known
comparatively early Friday night.
Q o .
There is another fight Friday night
that probably will stir as much interest int
frankie Neil and Harry Forbes will go
for the second time. Neil has made q
decided impression on followers of the
game in Chicago by his superiority over
Tommy Moore, and while Forbes has
hosts of friends in the Windy City, the
San Francisco boy viii be the favorite
with those who have money to talk for
them. Neil has one victory over Forbes,
who was formerly all in all in the ban
tam division, but the Chicago boy has al
ways maintained that he was given the
terrific left and his punching abilities are
away out of proportion to his build.
Forbes is a clever youngster, and will
probably need it all Friday night.

The fdYOriteS s race Saturday was
bad one as far as the public is con-
cerned. If he had been beaten out and
out it would not have been so bad. as
there would be more or less of a Ger
hard luck, that every one admits, but just
how far his hard luck entered into his
defeat is the problem that is hard to
solve.
Moharib on the other hand got away
bad but otherwise was not bothered and
won the race in manner that makes him
a dangerous contender.
Then there Is Highball to be figured on,
and whether he will start. There is al
ready quite a bunch Of money on the
Eastern crack, but after his sad finish at
