The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-08-06

This week has two good fights on but
the one appealing most TO Rhode Island
ers is that between Al belmont and Ike
Bradley. the English boxer, which is to
take place at the Standard club at Ly-
mansville, r. l., tomorrow night.
IL Is unfortunate that there Is a con-
fict OF dates with the Chelsea club, as
there will be a large number OF fans go
from Boston TO see the bout. The fact
that Bradley was beaten in six-round
bouts at Philadelphia does not prove that
he is not good fighter. He never claimed
to be much for the short distance. but
has showed at his best In longer contests.
This one is TO be of is rounds, which is
just to his liking. and II he does not make
good against belmont he hal. better
"skddoo." lie has been training h.rd In
Cambridge and will be in good r. pa.
Belmont is one of the best little bo:s-s
in this part OF the country, and II -.ld-
ley can defeat him he is entitled 10 a
match with any one in his class.
Belmont had ben training at HOWE
Hodgkins' farm in Rhode Island for the
past week and reports from there say he
is In good shape. There will be two good
preliminaries.
Al Kaufman OF California and Fred
Bradley, will meet at the Lincoln club.
Chelsea, Tuesday night also. AS there Is
possibility OF one OF them developing
into a champion. their bout is creating
lot OF interest among the fight fans OF
the country AS amateurs both were stars
and they are confident OF shining in the
professional ranks While Kaufman has
been out OF the amateur ranks longer
than Bradley he has gained little over
his opponent by his experience. He whip
ped couple of third-raters, but was bad
ly beaten by Jack O'Brien.
Such whipping as the latter gave him
does not do a rising young boxer any
