| them to Ee real lightWeights, ana 10th
, are in pei feet trim for the gruelling
| cont st they ale expected to put up.
Baldwin has the advantage Of hold
| irg a decision over the New Yorker,
| hut in the minds of many who saw
their last battle Murphy was entitled
| to at least a draw. Baldwin at present
is boxing Letter than ever before in
his lie, and the same can be said of
Murphy. With the eagerness that both

that tomorrow nights contest viii sur
| pass their memorable 15-round eNhi-
bition at Chelse in December Of 1906

boxing Jack Cunningham, who is look
ed upon as the best middleweght in
| the Marine Corps, an exceptionally in
teresting contest is looked for McEin-
| non is good and it will take good
man to defeat him. If Cunningham is
as good as he is reported, then the Rox-
hurry lad is in for the hardest engage
| ment OF ms career.

Of Lawrence will also carry with it a
|
never been seen around here, but at

his boxing, he is looked upon as the
best boy they have in the welterWcish mt
class. Grupp showed his class when he
defeated Dutch Carr at Chelsea some
time ago and since then has been doing
excellent work around New York in
siX-round bouts.
Eddie Hanlon will lie favorite over
Owen Moran when they meet Wefnes-
day night at San Francisco Hanlon
has trained faithfully for the bout, his
work and sparring exhibitions in the
Gymnasium leading many of his frireds

cific coast is going to regain his lost
prestige by defeating the Britisher.

Angeles
Grover Hayes will meet Kid Sulli-
van, the Washington boxer, in Il six
