AMONG THE BOXERS

| Among the fighters this week there is
no bout of more interest locally than that
on the cards for the Rhode Island Athle-
| tic association at Thornton on Wedne@-
| dey when AL belmont and Willie Gibbs
OF philadelphia meet for 10 round go.
This Will be about the fastest affair
or the kind that has been seen in this
state In several years in fact since the
long TO be remembered go between Dixon
and Murphy. In his class Gibbs Is the
best OF all the boxers that Philadelphia
can produce and belmont will have TO go
hts best to carry off the victory. Both
boys are TO weigh In at 5 o'clock at I16
pounds and the match is such a good one
that there will be a very large amount or
betting. Gibbs has a following that will
go the limit in placing money that he
will carry off the larger end OF the purse
and there are many local men who are
willing 10 place their all on the ability
OF Al belmont.
Among the other bouts OF interest are
several worth mentioning.
Abe Attell and Tommy Mowatt. who
fought six rounds. in Philadelphia last
night. Their bout I'm Philadelphia was
FOR only six rounds, but the one at Balti-
ne~e Is TO be for 10 rounds. which will
give Mowatt a better chance. For SHOT,
distance fighting Attell is about the best
" the country. lie is very fast and
clever and in Philadelphia he made Mo
watt look poorly. The latter is no boxer,
but is a fighter, and he figures that he
can get TO Attell in the longer bout.
The two Connellys will put up fast
Pantz and Billy Ryan at Rockland. Me.
bal Hawkins, who was a good boxer
meet m ns da Rsss has been and T
been going some lately and is thought
we'll Of in the quaker city. IL Hawkins
has his old right wallop and he gets II
onto Russell the latter is sure TO go to
the floor for the count
The Young Erne and Young OLeary
bout at Milwaukee Friday night should
be n good contest Young Erne is a clever
arv.1l l..
strated that he Is close to the top. @ Leary
has done all his boxing in the west, but
not until he boxed Kid Herman a draw
some weeks ago did his friends feel he
was good enough to go against boxers like
Young Erne.
The sports OF Augusta Will have
chance TO see some good boxing Friday
night. Deshler and Arthur cote will face
each other in the final bout, and Il
should be a slaShing contest.
Another good bout for this week will
be that between Rouse O'Brien Of South
Boston and Tommy Murphy I'm Philadcl-
phia Saturday night. They were matched
TO fight I'm Chelsea some months ago. but
the match fell through as Murphy injured
himself O'Brien has been anxious to
meet Murphy and he feels confident ne
can win. His friends are OF the same
opinion.
Murphy is clever fellow. and has
utNtT lcdTtu a utItdl 1T the nHIlNS or
O'Brien. So lightly does he look on the
match that he has agreed to go against
Jimmy Dunn in South Sharon. Pa, to-
night The latter has made n reputa-
lion i'm the coal region ana II is expected
that he will given the Harlem feather
weight n hard go. II Murphy is able to
keep his engagement with OBrien he
will find that the South Boston boxer is
not so easy as he imagines.
Harry Edels, the Chelsea boxer, who
is climbing the pugilistic ladder, IL tied
up for another match this week Lew
Myers who boxes Sidney tonight is to oe
his opponent at Portland Friday night
providing Myers is not beaten by Sidney
tonight.
