BOTH MEN IN THE PRINCIPAL
EVENT SURE OF WINNING
SOME GOOD PRELIMINARIES.

When the gong sounds for the main
event this evening at the Orpheum, two
men will spring into the ring who are
i'm the pink of condition. Both expect
to win but the one who does will have
his work mapped out for him. Nelson
thinks that it will be a hard fight but
he will win. McFadden says that he
can't luse-and there you are. OF the
two however, Nelson seems the more
confident.
Both men have trained to the minute
and are eager for the time when they
can mix it,
Nelson will try the knockout route,
confident because of the showing he
made before while McFadden will try
and out-point his opponent and win
the fight at the end of the bout.
Three first class preliminaries are on
the slate. Kid Lani and Kid Vierra,
two bantams, will furnish plenty of
