that led him to publish the new syl-

The document will be even more

FISTIC CARNIVAL
MONDAY Might
THE GOLDFIELD ATHLETIC CLUB
WILL PULL OFF BOUT FOR
HUMORISTS.

The main fistic event of the boxing
card at the Hippodrome theater
Monday night under the auspices of
the Goldfield Athletic club, will be
a ten-round go between Jim Konkey
of Milwaukee and Jack Evans of
Oakland and judging from the
opinions of the critics who have seen
both men in action at their training
quarters for the past few days, it
promises to be one of the liveliest
mills ever pulled off in Goldfeld.
Matchmaker Freshman was very
fortunate in selecting two men 50
evenly matched and while both COM
batants have an altogether different
style of fighting. they both seem 10
be well yersed in the scientific points
of the game and no one even dare 20
select favorite.
Evans represents the fancy style Of
a boxer, as his bag-punching is pa"
excellence in every respect. Although
he is an easy boxer, he has deceiv-
ing right which at any time might
land the Sunderland punch.
Jim Konkey is built on the order
of Fitzsimmons with slender legs,
powerful shoulders and extraordi-
nary long reach. The Milwaukee
boys wind is unexhaustable and
combined with his power of endur-
ance, he is surely worthy antag-
onist for his more clever exponent
In addition to the main bout, the
affair between Joe German and Ed
McMiller is attracting considerable
attention from the local followers Of

and no other man ever worked hard
