TEN FOUR ROUND
BOUTS ARRANGED
AN ATTRACTIVE PROGRAM is
PLANNED FOB BENEFIT
Frankie Neil VIII Endeavor to Stop
Kid Long-Bllly Manning and
Frank Wells Scheduled for
Lively Go

Because Tom Oberle is one of the sort
that no one can meet and come away
from without liking whom to know
is worth while-and because the wheel
of fortune has stopped at an unkindly
notch along Toms span of life, a grand
boxing carnival is to occur at Maud
junction next Friday evening.
A host of friends are determined that
the popular thespian, who has brought
pleasure into the lives of many during
his career upon the stage, shall not
suffer the deepest pangs of financial
difficulty. Not to figure as charity
benefit, but as a tribute to the warmth
of a personality which remained stanch
during better days and continued to do
so through a long siege Of illness, the
coming attra ction which is to be given
in the nature of benefit should play
to capacity house
Ten four-round bouts with no draws
allowed have been carded. If the ref
cree is unable to render a decisive de-
cision at the end of four rounds he will
order the combatants to continue until
such time as one of the principals
shows unmistakable signs of supe-
riority.
The seats are to be so and 81, and fig
uring 1t to more or less of a fine point,
the man paying 50 will witness ten
battles at. 20 cents per. Those securing
the cheaper priced cardhoards are dated
to ten contests at 10c the go.
Tickets may be secured at Ellis
Cohn's cigar stand, Eddie Hookstrat-
toms place, Pritcher Bros and Green
> walds. Other centers Of seaS selling
will be selected today.
Several patches of tickets for fancy
prices have already been disposed of,
the extra coin coming from those who
desired to let go a little more than the
requisite.
WhirIwind Card
AS card the bouts billed for Friday
should result in a whirlwind of excite
ment from the time the first two enter
the ring.
frankie Neil is a top-notcher of the
boring-in sort, and those who have
looked over the card are wondering
as to whether he will be able to stow
Kid Long away within four rounds.
The Kid is tough little customer and
may make frankie peddle hard before
the end arrives.
Billy Manning of sanicult fame-Billy
that fought Jack Dempsey way back
when our fathers were turning the
primer-will appear to tread few with
Frank Wells, a member of Uncle Sans
navy force who is said to be all to the
good with his dukes.
Alter Billy 3 retirement lITOHl the IlilS
his principal forte for an extended
period was travelling about the country
in the capa city of barn stormer, taxi
ing on all would-be gloves ters and
usually measuring their distance along
with all the stray coin in sight Billy
claims that there is no mfddleweight
in the business that has it on him even
in his dotage and intends to show mod
ern day ringsters how the game should
be played when he steps between the
ropes with Sailor Wells.
Will Be Love Feast-Not
The big grudge bout comes with Kid
Webster and Kid Lamar scheduled for
the love feast. These boys love each
other not, and what may appear in
place of their respective features after
the battle remains for Father Time to
exhibit.
Red FitzSimmons the sorrel-topped
newsboy, who has been barred because
of his terrible right hand wallop, is at
last to be given long sought chance
with Earl Sain as the victim.
Dan Longs pride in life is a certain
youngster by the name of Young Sny-
der whom Dan believes will knock the
roof off Dave Murray's brainery. With
Murray laughing in his sleeve at the
idea something more is bound to result.
Tommy Leahy, the irrepressible mes
senger boy, is given an oportunity OF
lining up with Jack Brown, an amateur
lightweight crack of the United States
navy
James J. Gaines and AL Godfrey,
husky young giants of the mixing type,
have been matched for one of the
events.
The remaining bouts are hanging in
the balance awaiting a decision from
several aspirants for ring honors
Those selected as principals for the
evenings entertainment are expected
to report at Maud junction pavilion
this afternoon, when final arrange
ments will be made for the order Of
their appearance.
