Forty-Eight Rounds
Scheduled

Forty-eight rounds. 4S-count them--4S,
are down on the Maud junction boards
for discussion tonight. Six bouts are in
cluded in the list and in each and every
one of them the lads who will partici-
pate are confident of winning, and in
short order, too.
For some reason or other the battle
between Dannie Webster and Bubbles
Robinson has copped the spot where
the limelight shines, and is now of pre-
mier interest to the fans. Bubbles has
never been seen in real action yet, but
his little workouts in training, and the
fact that Joe Cans took a liking to him
has caused the black boys stock to go
way up.
Bubbles certainly picked out live
one to try his luck with, and If he
survives Websters cleverness and all
round ring ability the dinge has great
future in store. Dannie has been whip
ping them all lately, and he figures that
he will keep on doing so until he meets
one of the topnotcherS. And when he
gets to that stage he still has hopes
According to the program the boys
have each put up a century note, and
the winner will get the whole works,
plus the money they will receive from
Tom McCarey This will all figure into
a nice sum for a pair of preliminary
fighters, and If Bubbles is good he will
have to show it to take the change away
from Webster.
The boys will weigh in around the
122-pound mark, and at the scaling each
should be strong. Robinson has lot
the better of Webster in natural rug
gedness and strength, but what Dannie
don't know about the game is still to be
excavated from the dictionary of ring
knowledge. az
Dempsey Has Friends
Since then things have changed lit
tie, and Dempsey will have enough sup
porters among those present to make
him stretch out after his opponent. Laud-
er's Jack O'Brien tactics are pretty and
extremely clever, but the patrons of the
pork and bean bouts are paying their
good money to see gore spilled and the
jack rabbit style does not appeal to them.
Eddie Menney and Scotty johnson are
slated for a return engagement, and quite
a bunch of coin has been bet on the
affair. In their previous battle Scotty
was forced to quit when his seconds
heaved the towel into the arena, and the
idea has stuck in his crop ever since.
Johnson is sure he can get Menney's
goat in the time allotted him-ten rounds.
II was strong enough when they quit
on me last time says Scotty. "even If
/ did look like the victim at a Mexican
picnic. Those cuts on the face made me
lose a little blood, but that was ALL
Menney thinks just the other way. He
says that he could have put Johnson
out at any time and intends to demon
strate his opinion at tonights session.
Martin Leahy will make his maiden
start against Jimmy Austin, a fast little
boy who has heart for work. Tommy
Leahy, Martins near-famous brother,
says the younger member of the Leahy
clan is all to the good, and will put
Austin away in short order. Jimmy dis
putes this statement and says he will
be the one to perform the canning act.
Guy Martin and Young McGovern, two
likely young battlers will go on for the
six-round scrap, and as they are in the
same class so far as weight and abil-
ity are concerned, an interesting mill
should result.
Harry Rose and Jake Arnold are slated
to perform in the last siX-rounder pro-
grammed. The square-jawed kid from
Whittier thinks he knows Harry's num-
Der without looking in the book for it,
and If such is the case Rose is going
to be there to know it.
The first mill will be sent to the tape
at o'clock, and from then on they will
be staged as rapidly as possible. Little
Lord Fauntleroy, president of the lemon
ade trust, has everything prepared for a
large-sized gathering, and will mix sew
eral tubs of water with two lemons and
three Jumps of sugar, in order to supply
the thirsty with what they need.
