ASPIRING BOXERS
TO GET TOGETHER
GOOD CARD TUESDAY AT MAUD
JUNCTION PAVILION
Bouts Lack Class, but Contestants Are
Well Matched-Lauder Meets
Ford in Final
Event

With the Gans-Burns fight taking ur
al their spare time during the past week
local sports have not had much chance
to pay heed to the doings which the Pa
cific Athletic club has planned to occur
on Tuesday night at Maud Junction. -Four
good ten-round bouts have been arranged
and busy evening is expected.
While the card is entirely lacking In
class every one of the boys who will
mingle is known to be of some worth in
his own division Leonard Lauder and
Phil Knight, who are slated to come
through with the main event of the even
ing, are clever lads and neither has ever
known the meaning of that little word
defeat knight is a Frisco boy and
Lauder has long been known as the pride
of the better boxing element in Los An
geles.
And Abdul the Turk is also on the
program, carded to go against Walter
Stanton. The latter is credited with a
victory over Joe Summers. the only man
who ever knocked the Abominable One
out, and the turk is hoping to swir g
the situation around so that he will
get his name in the dope book as the
conqueror of the man who conquered him.
That's a kind of twisted statement,
but it's the way the Turk puts it, so
must be all right. Abdul is really anxi-
Gus to meet Stanton and thinks he will
have no trouble in landing the coin pro-
ducer. OF course, Abdul is figuring that
he can turn the trick in much the same
manner as he did on Roy Page, but when
he tangles with Stanton he will find out
the difference.
Kid Dalton will find a real neat pack
age on hand when he starts to unite Jim
Ford. The northerner has everything a
fighter needs, and unless Dalton gets over
his old sty.e and really tears in to do
some damage Ford is apt to cop.
Dalton Knows More
But Dalton says he will profit by past
experiences, and wade in from the tap
of the first gong until the show is over.
The Kid has been in the habit of letting
clever men make their own fight, but
found that it got him nothing but the
short end and will now change his plan
of action.
Charley Riley and Kid Webster will
furnish the other number on the slate,
and with sthe exception of the Lauder
Knight battle it will be about the best
thing on the boards. Webster's recent
victory over Eddie Menney filled the Kid
with renewed confidence. Riley is not
at all bashful with the statement that
he will dispose of the Southern California
bantam champion, and the sports UP
north seem to agree with him.
This battle means much to Webster,
who has been hanging around the Pork
and Bean club in this city for several
years. Owing to something or other
Webster did not strike his real gait un-
til he fought Dalton a few months ago,
but since then he has been a changed
boy. He formerly displayed a tendency
to back up after the first or second
round, but the Kids last few battles show
that he is now willing to mix all the
way through, and take just as much of a
chance as the other fellow in going after
the long end of the purse.
McCarey is trying to figure how to
please the majority of sports who attend
the tryout cards. and is up stump in
this regard. If he starts the bouts on
schedule time, o'clock, Mac figures that
the late comers will be disappointed; but
the other way of looking at it also both
ers the promoter, and he does not see
how he will appease those who arrive at
the pavilion at the time called for on
the advertising sheets.
1t is probable that compromise will
be effected and the first battle staged at
about S:15. This will not keep the early
comers waiting too long, and it will give
most of the stragg.ers chance to wit
ness at least part of the opening set-to.
