FELTZ AND LOWE
CARDEO TO MEET
Ex- Bantam Champion Will
Have Worthy Opponent.
ABOUT EVENLY MATCHED
Washington Boy Will Be Slightly
Heavier, But Feltz Is More
Experienced.

Kid Egan and Benny Riley, OF BaIti-
more, VIII not fight at the Rock Spring
Club tonight as they were scheduled TO
do.
There were q number OF details 10 be
arranged and the time was 50 short that
the management Of the club decided
that it would be better to postpone the
next meeting for a few days in order
that there might not be any unseemly
delay or hitch in the proceedings.
The Egan-Riley bout as a final has
been postponed indefinitely. but the pres
ent plan is to have a match on Novem-
Der 30 between Tommy Feltz, the ex-
bantam champion. and Tommy Lowe,
the Washington boy who made such an
Unexpectedly good showing when he de-
feated the veteran Kid Henning al the
nrst meeting Of the Rock Spring Club.
Excellent Gard.
This match between Feltz and Lowe
should be an excellent card and furnish
much rare sport for the brother mem
bers after the business meeting FeItz

ing at about l22 or 124 pounds, and every
ounce or IL Is fighting strength. His ex-
mbition IN his draw with Eddie Lenny
In Baltimore last week was unusually
clever and he stood off his heavier op-
ponent in great style for 15-round
draw. He is one OF the pugs who never
stops lighting and Is always willing 10
meet anybody who comes along.
Lowe can weigh In at l26 pounds at 3
O'Clock. This viii give him an advan-
tage In weight, but Feltz is so much
more experienced that the match should
De an even affair, with each boy having
a chance TO win.
Although Feltz is the cIeyerer. he will
have a hard time stopping the Wash
lngton boy. and If enthusiastic brother
members should wager a few simoleums
on the outcome. il viii probably be on
whether OF not Lowe suddenly takes a
short nap and brings the intellectual
diversion 10 an untimel' end He has
a jaw like a professional strong man.

IL he does not go the init With his
ability to stand the gan, Lowe COM
bines certain amount OF aggressive
ness that crops up often enough TO
cause worry 10 his opponent At all
stages OF the game. II is hardly likely
that he will be able 10 stop the eX-
bantam champion, bat he viii give him

The present plan is 10 put Kid Egan
