MEMSIC WILL
CARRY THE COIN
JIMMY BURNS IS FAV0RITE
OVER MONTANA
Dalton and AtteIl Are Expected to
Put Up a Fast BattIe-Eddie
Meeney Hot After
Torres

Betting was 1913 with Jimmy Burns
as the favorlte last night. Montana
Kid Is deemed to be against very
difficult proposition though there are
those who pin their faith on the husky
cattle state boy.
Tommy Burns who brought Burns
Tor Memsic) to the coast probably had
visions of a dark horse coming away
winner. The crowd caught willy Tom
my in the act, however, and have
been looking up the Memsic boys rec
ord. According to Burns his protege is
as good as over.
Everyone will have an opportunity
of realizing just how good a dopester
Tommy is after the decision. The
chunky champ has seen both boys box
and IT will be professional judgment
backing Memsic.
The latter is an extremely well set
up youngster and appears to be capable
of gruelling go. He may expect that
of Montana provided the Kid enters on
a mixing game.
Caesar Attell and Kid Dalton will
shadow much of the limelight tomor-
row evening when Tom McCarey's try
out menagerie puts in an appearance.
Rumor hath it that Dalton, who halls
from Rome, Italy, has referred in no
gentle terms to his Yiddish contempor-
airy, while the pawnbroker says there
will be monk on string as an asset
to the three-ball house when he finishes
with the banana vender.
Caesar was clever or at least ap-
peared very much to the good as
against his last opponent, having train
ed more or less conscientiously for the
fray. The Jew boy used his left like
a triphammer with the result that the
other lad resembled the much lamented
Bat Nelson after Joe Cans waxed tired
of mauling him.
There seems small possibility of Caes-
ar's putting Dalton away and should
the latter go in as he is probably
capable of something may be doing in
the way of a knockout.
Those who have witnessed many of
the recent goes at Maud junction COM
plain that altogether too much care
has been taken by the respective op-
ponents as regards their personal
safety. Avoiding punishment is pretty
play, but the chance of possible
Knockout has been rather too upper
most in the minds of certain youngsters
performing at the east end arena.
The tryouts are popularity supposed
to be given with view of bringing real
form to the front, and
while a certain few have gone at it for
all they are worth, others appear to be
of a sort that is perfectly willing to go
and come so long as they are given an
opportunity of pulling down prelimin-
ary coin.
Those are not lacking who believe
that the Dalton boy possesses cham
pionship timber. He gave Harry Ba-
ker a good run and has defeated many
of the local comers Should he sail in
for fair tomorrow there should be
things doing.
Nearly as much interest is attached
to the Eddie Meeney-Torres go. The
last battle between the two was
stopped and decision given to Torres.
While it lasted the affair was furi-
Gus one, Torres going down for eight
under a wallop of the slender Meeney.
After the fray Eddie was loud in his
protesta tions that he had been robbed,
declaring that he was stalling. Chance
that he won't try stalling again.
Tommy Leahy is boy who has been
going a mediocre route during the past
He should best the Terrible
Turks cousin or whatever relation the
new conner is, or send a substitute the
next time.
Leonard Lauder and young Berry are
both green ones, but willing.
In the bantam class come Scotty
Johnson and Jimmy Erwin, who should
make things lively for a while.
