TONOPAH TO HAVE
BIG FIGHT ON
MEMORIAL DAY

TONOPAH New, May 16-Once more
the town of Tonopah, Nevada, will be
placed on the pugiistic map, when on
Decoration day. Marvin Hart of Louis
vile. kentucky. and Mike Schreck of
Cincinnati and Chicago, hook up in
finish fight under the auspices of w.
S. johnson and Abe Brown.
The fight on paper promises to turn
out one of the toughest heavyweight
battles ever seen in Nevada. This
claim was made by the promoters pre-
vious to the Willie Schreck fight. All
reports from that fight and the testi
mony of each and every eyewitness
confirmed this prediction. With two
strapping athletes like Hart and
Schreck and their well-known style of
mixing most willingly, warrants the
promise made by Johnson and Brown
that the fight will be a good one worth
going miles to witness.
Schrecks record is well known and
includes victories over Huge Kelly,
Tommy Burns. whose real name is
Noah Brusso George Gardner. Dave
Barry and many others His knockout
victory over John Willie i'm nineteen
rounds at Tonopah last month is too
fresh in the memory of the fight fans
to need comment Since then Schreck
has knocked out Tony Ross at Dayton,
Ohio.
Hart is no stranger to the Nevada
fight fans. Several months after Jim
Jcifries announced his retirement, Hart
and Jack Root batted for the vacant
title in finish fight at Reno. Hart
Knocked Root out in twelve rounds.
Best proof that Jeffries did not claim
his toga is the fact that he refereed
and himself declared Hart the winner,
at the same time proclaiming him
champion of the world. Hart stands
alone, holding a twenty-round decision
over Jack johnson. Tommy Burns
holds questionable twentyround de-
cision over Hart and the latter has Of
fercd all kinds of inducements to Sc
cure a return match from Burns, but
the latter always neatly side stepped
him.
The Decoration day battle. while not
a championship affair. is arousing in
terest the country over and many of
the critics pronounce Mike Schreck the
real heavyweight champion. Therefore,
/ it is hard to see why Promoters john
| son and Brown should hesitate in ad-
vertising this bout for the real heavy
weight championship battle.
