EXHIBITION SET
FOR AUGUST e
McF adden and Reilly to Meet in
Boxing Match at End
of Month.

The management of the Central Club
| announces scientific boxing exhibition
for the evening of Saturday August %.
The main exhibition will be between
Jack bIcFadden and Charlie Reilly, and
there will be two preliminaries of prob
ably ten and six rounds each.
The preliminaries have not yet been
decided on Jockey Willis is very anx-
ious for another go. The last time he
boxed here he was defeated by All Sam,
a man who outweighed him greatly. In
fact, Willis could barely tip the scales
at hundred and eight, while the China
man could not have made the light
weight limit of a hundred and thirty.
The local fans seem think that the
little jockey is very classy at his own
weight, which is something less than
hundred and ten. This little paper
weight could put up very good exhibit
tion if there were lad of his weight
to box him. 1t is pity that we have
not got young Terry. McGovern or
Johnny Coulon of Chicago here. Either
one of these lads would put up a first
class exhibition with the jockey.
Somebody makes a very good sugges-
tion for preliminary: 'Why not get
Joe Silva, the Punehbowl wonder, and
Wild Swan to 90 for ten roundsa There
would be some fun to that bout, for
both lads are about the same weight
(160 pounds), and both are clever box
ers.''
Jack MeFadden has started to train a
little harder than he has done so far,
but will not do any grueliing work for
some time yet, as he is in fair eondi.
ton now, and will not require long to
fit himself perfectly.
Every morning he logs over the roads
for several miles, and is now doing a
little boxing at his home in the after
noon. This boxing is more TO keep his
muscles timber than anything else, and
can hardly be called training.
Meanwhile Charlie Reilly is taking
matters very seriously. He is out on
the road early in the morning and visits
Pete Baron at the boat club in the at
ternoon. Here he goes through the
usual training stunts, supplemented by
some of Pete's favorite exercises for
strengthening the stomach muscles
After that he does a little boxing and
then takes short swim
Reilly recognizes the danger of going
stale. and has let up quite little in the
last few days He is very husky lad,
however, and can stand more work than
most boys of his size.
A fan was shifting at Reilly's work
the other day, stating that he did not
show m very well in training. "He
doesn t. eh9" said a bystander. "Well,

The main exhibition will be one of
fifteen rounds. which is considered quite
long enough for one of the boys to show
which is the eleverer boxer. which. so
the management states. is the object of
the event. The officials have not vet
been selected. but Mr.. TAFT asserts that
only men of the very highest standing
and integrity viii be asked TO act in
any way.
