ODDS FAVOR BOSTON BOY AT
10 TOT
sehreek Experiences Difficulty In Max
Ing Weight, but Manager Hogan
Says He viii Not Exceed
the Limit

Jack Twin Sullivan and Mike
schreck who are the principals in the
main event, are two of the cleverest
middleweight scrappers in the business
and each cherishes an ambition to go
to the head of the class
Each has attained prominence in the
fight world through terrific battling
and in their careers many topnotchers
have ceased to aspire to greater things
after mixing jabs with them.
With Jack OBrien out of the middle
weight division and Tommy Ryan
practically in retirement. Jack Twin
looms up as the foremost middleweight
scrapper in the country and Schreck,
whose best battles have been against
light heavyweights, has equally as
good record in the ring.
Both are thoroughly versed in the
fine points of the game and are past
masters in ring generalship. Neither
has ever been accused of lack Of
cleverness and a glance over their
records will reveal the possession OF
the fatal punch.
In the opinion of the fans, the match
is an even one and neither holds any
edge on the other when all things are
considered. The twenty rounds of
boxing should be the greatest exhi-
bition Of it's kind given in Los An
geles since the MvCoy-Sullivan bat
tie.
Twin in Condition
Jack Twin did not box with Brother
Mike yesterday afternoon as was eX-
pected, as he is in tip top condition
and is at his best fighting weight, 1854
pounds. Fully 300 fans gathered at the
pavilion to witness the bout between
the brothers.
Jack donned a rough suit and, Joined
bv Kid Solomon darted away from
the pavilion at 8 o'clock for Mount
Lowe. This road work will be the
only workout the big twin will under
take before the battle.
Schreck is training hard at Santa
Monica and will make the weight. His
final workout will be undertaken this
morning and the Dutch-Irish battler
will come to Los Angeles and, with
his opponent, will weigh in at 8 O'Clock.
Schreck sought to secure an agree
ment from Sullivan yesterday to waive
the weight limit, but was unsuccessful.
He was of the opinion that this agree
ment would permit him to weigh in
at 10 pounds and preclude the neces-
sity for further work before weighing
in.
Sullivan's objection to the PROPOSE
ton to waive the weight limit was oc-
casioned by the fact that he will go
into the ring at about 1856 pounds and
preferred not to concede too great an
advantage in the relative weight of
his opponent.
1t is believed that Schreck will have
ten to twelve pounds the advantage in
weights at the agreed limit and. from
a technical view, the battle will be
between middleweight and a light
heavyweight
Regardless of the weight proposition,
Sullivan has been made the favorite
in betting at odds ranging from 10 to
to 10 to z. Sullivan's great show
ings heretofore in Los Angeles against
Tommy Burns and Kid Mccoy. the
cleverest boxer in the world with the
possible exception of Corbett, and his
recent draw after twenty rounds of
hard fighting with Jack O'Brien in
Alaska, serves to give him the edge in
popular choice.
Winner Meets Ryan
The Importance of this battle is ap-
parent in the fact that the winner
will be entitled to a match with Tom
my Ryan for the championship, which
is non-eXiStent honor since F'itZsim-
mons wen into heavy artillery work.
Fitzsimmons is the technical holder
of the title. as he is also possessor of
the light heavyweight championship,
but the genuine article of middleWeight
championship is accepted to be unset
tied and Ryan has been laying claim
TO the honor since Fitz assumed his
promotion.
The preliminaries to the battle to-
night are good cards in themselves
and are above the average in the in
terest excited among the fans.
Kid Solomon has been an unbeaten
"a mir ~ al In III
of the world for many moons and so
thoroughly has he defended the honor
that few cared to go on with the
shifty ghetto kid.
Joe Green of Chicago was unearthed
by coterie of fight fans and McCarey
was induced to match them. Green
has good record back of him and is
clever boxer at 125 pounds, the
weight agreed upon for the bout to-
night
Solomon and Green have trained
earnestly and both are in excellent
condition. Solomon has taken no
chances on being defeated because of
a lack Of condition and has been hit
ling the road regularly and can climb
a greasy pole without gasping for
breath.
Green Trains Well
Green has been putting in hard icks
cited admiration from the few who
have been permitted to witness his
training stunts.
In the language of the tout. "this
IS good race to stay off Of" Both
boys are clever and good ring gem
erals They will put up a rattling ex-
hibition and while 1t lasts it will be
as pretty as any ever staged In the
Maud junction fight house.
Mauro Herrera and Kid West will
raise the curtain, These bows will go
six rounds at a mile-a-minute gait
with a pressure OF 1873 pounds. They
are unknown to local fans. but are ex-
perienced in the ring and have earned
brackets against opponents OF good
class
Herrera has eleven knock-outs to his
credit in total Of fifteen nghts. thir-
teen of which he won and two were
draws. No one has heen trotted out
AGAINST him who could land the deci-
sion over him and he is noeeeseea Of
the family falling the terrible sleep
potion, In either hand
West is a spectacular fighter and is
a clever lad. He is a glutton for pun
ishment and follows greatly after tbe
Hanlon style of boring In upon his
opponent.
