Baldwin and Goodman to
Clash at Hub Tonight.
Many Think Baldwin Is Going
Back Goodman Good as Ever.
Some Fast Bouts For Ediflcation OF
the Quaker City Sports.

Boston, Jan. 27.-Matty Baldwin and
Kid Goodman will meet in the main
bout of II rounds at the Armory n. "A.
tomorrow night, and despite the tact
that Baldwin has already beaten Good
man twice, there are many VINO THINK
that Ally will hand it over 10 the
Charlestown boy this time. Ii BALDWIN
doesn't do any better than lac dld
against Johnny Summers, Goodman
Will not be a bad selection by any
means. The chances are, however, that
it will be q good even contest all the
way, with both boys striving steadily.
In one of their other bouts Goodman
, floored Baldwin with Il Tight-hander to
the jaw Baldwin came to in time to
20 ON with the contest, and showed
sucll good rccuperdtive powers that nc
was enabled to carry the pace in the
last round How he ever Weathered
such heavy storm is beyond those
who saw the contest
Baldwin has displayed remarkably
| well in some of his contests and other
times has disappointed his most ardent
admirers. He did miSerably against
Dave Deshler the second time, but was
| excellent when he tackled Tommy Muir
rhy. He had Giaring faults when he
| fought Johnny Summers, although he
won. It's question if he has not
| struck the down grade and the track
| doesn't seem TO be very much sanded.
| Goodman seems to be boxing as well
as he ever did in his life, and some
think that his showing against Cyclone
Johnny Thompson proved that he is
| better than ever before. Goodman was
always a tough, strong fellow, but for
4 time he lost the faculty of carrying
the battle 10 his opponent. He was
game to the core, but was not a pretty
picture for Charley Neary, Tommy
Murphy or any of the whirlwird box

portant contest Of the week Secretary
Lane is assured of big response 10

scnIi-iinal are certain to make classy
contests. In one, Tommy Rawson and

| Carthy Trim is a very clever fell

can assmilatc lot of punishment.
| Goodman has worked out at North

| that if he ever gets the right on Mat

for the full count and not for partial
count. He has boxed daily with Edels
and Larry Temple, who is also training
| there. Baldwin has trained at Diamond
| Hill. R. l.. and will stay there till the
| last gun is fired
| The directors say that the report
| that the bout round by round Will be
given to the public hot off the bat is
not founded on fact, and there is not
y chance that such report will he
