followers and with the exception OF the
McGovern-Nelson fight on Wednesday

Rhode Island Athletic club.

scheduled are the best possible and insure
some good going that will surely delight.
The main bout will be a 15-round confab

and the latter from Roxbury. The semi
final set-to is between Jack Murphy OF
this city and The Unknown OF Boston.
The six-round go is one between two local
boys who have great following, Kid
Manning and Peter Fiheld. In other por-
tions OF the country the cards are attract

Rouse O'Brien of South Boston and
Chester Goodwin, the pride OF Chelsea,

Tommy Murphy short while ago and

Gardner is in this city and ii would seem
out OF the question for him to be in 'Fris-
co by saturday.
Another one who will figure in a bout
tonight is Jig Stone of Charlestown, who
meets George Ashley at the Gloucester
club at the same city. On the whole, this
will be pretty busy week in the boxing

Terry Martin, who made two good show
