AMONG THE BOXERS


Only a few bouts of Importance are
scheduled for this week. rhe one tonight
in Philadelphia between Marvin Hart and
John Willie OF Chicago will probably at
tract the most interest. Willie is one
of the hardest big men in the ring 10
defeat, and his German friends in Chi
cago predict that he will lower the colors
Of the young Louisville giant.
Hart and Willie have met once. and
their six-round bout in the Quaker City
was common talk for several wCsks. As
Hart is said TO he anxious ~ match
with Jeffries, tonight's contest is exciting
a good deal OF discussion.
Tonight. in Brockton. Matty Baldwin
will indulge in his FIRST bout Of the week
and in going against Hid Pantz he will
encounter a very good boy They have
met several times and Baldwin has al
ways managed 10 hold his own. twice
Winning the decision over the North End
boy.
on Wednesday night the Douglas A
c. of Chelsea will hold its regular meet
ing. and the directors state that there
will se no postponement this week For
main attraction this matchma ker has
succeeded IN getting those two old rivals.
George Gunther. the Melbourne Kapga-
roo, and Charley O'Rourke. Cunther and
q Rourkc have met twice, tho Cambridge
man gaining the award in the first meet
ing at the Cambridge \. A. and the two
boxed a l2-round draw not long ago.
The kangaroo has improved steadily.
within the past six months and
ORourke's qualities are we'll known, he
having given promise of developing into
a champion when he was boxing In the
welterweight class.
Abe Attell and Harry Forbes will also
clash again on Wednesday night 1t will
not he their first experience, for the
clever Californian beat the ex-bantam
champion i'm ten rounds in Indianapolis,
after boxing him siX-round draw in
Chicago.
Attell Is a boxer pure and simple.
while Forbes is both fighter and boxer.
As Attell is much the cleverer OF the
two he should have little trouble I'm
winning from the Chicago lad. although
he did not demonstrate In his bout at
Sharon. Pa. last week, with Jimmy
Dunn. that he has wholly recovered from
his recent illness.
Tommy Murphy or Brooklyn and
Hughey McGovern will again do their
pha sports on Wednesday night but il
Is not IIkeIy That they VIII draw an I'M
mense house. as the followers Of the sport
over there are heartily tired OF this pair
OF hippodromers.
