cards that Manager McCarey has
offered lately will furnish amuse-
ment and entertainment for the
fans at his Maud Junction pavil-
ion tonight, when he will stage
twenty-eight rounds of boxing in
four bouts. Freddie Welsh, the
lightweight champion of England,
will take on another promising,
but less famous, opponent in Kid
Trendail of St. Louis, who so de-
cisively defeated Leonard Laud-
er a few days ago and broke the
local record in doing so.
The card for tonight is unusu-
ally attractive in that it brings
out scrappers of good class and
proved ability in their divisions.
With the exception of the curtain
raiser, the Martin-Bentley bout,
all the boys engaged have fought
locally and have won their spurs
and popularity in local engage
ments. All are recognized draw
ing cards. This is to be another
popular-priced card, for which
Maud Junction has become Ia
nous, and it promises to excel all
previous efforts in the line of en-
tertainment.
While nearly every fan who goes
to the show might will expect Welsh
TO defeat Trendall. it is not saying
that the st. Louis boy has no chance
10 defeat the speedy and clever son
of Briton. Trendall has been con-
slstent surprise ever since he first was
matched on the coast He came here
with a good record of over fifty fights
without q knockout defeat and with
several high class victories to his
credit He came to get a match with
Packy Mcfarland and has been dls-
apnAinted ever since because he falied
TO induce the stock yards champion
to get into the ring with him.
When he was matched with Buppies
Rohinson the fans thought 1t was to
be a bit OF easy money for the coloreo
wonder. but it wasi anything else:
TrencaiI poorly trained and out or
condition. made Bubbles look ike
bush fighter for six rounds and then
blew up allowing Robinson to get
draw with him.
Then he was matched with Lauder
for twenty-round scrap at san Feu,o.
IT was a foregone conclusion that ne
would get his block knocked Off, put
he did not. On the contrary, he fought
Lauder to a draw. Then the rams sat
up and took notice of him. he was
rematched with Lauder for ten-round
scrap and what he did not do to Lau-
der has not been published. lie OUT
fought and outboxed the local crack
all the way and got well-earned de-
cision. That fight was staged to get an
opponent for Welsh, and Trendall the
winner. was matched up with the Eng
lish champ.
Trendall may not be a wonder and Is
no sensational scrapper, but ne
is a fast, clever, slugging lghtWeignt
awfully light for the division, ana ne
has a chance to best any of them. IL
he should defeat Welsh tonight, he
will surprise the average fan. but ne
will be disappointed unless he turns
that very trick, as he figures himseH
out as good thing.
Welsh ranks in the lightweight divi-
sion almost as Abe Attell ranks In the
feather class. He is as clever, speedy
and good a general as Attells While ne
has proved that he has knockout
punch. His fight with Frank Carsey'
whom he knocked out, was a revela-
tion to the fans, and now FREDDIE can
dictate his termsNto almost any light
weight who desires his game. AS
suredly, there can be no champion OF
that division without consulting tne
British champ.
The curtain raiser may be better tnan
it appears on paper, but as Martin and
Bentley practically are unknown to the
fans, they must prove themselves IN
this bout. However. Handicapped Han
cook never puts on a prelim without
knowing that the boys will deliver the
goods, and it may confidently be taken
for granted that these boys are not OF
the cheap, uninteresting type of hght-
erss, and that their tryout, previous to
being matched, was sufficient to con-
vince Hancock that they would make
a good fight.
Picato and Willie Mack should put
up one of the best bouts of the even
ing, as both boys are game and noted
for The slugging capabilities. Picato
Is known as the knockout kid and ne
will meet worthy and more expert
enced foe IN Mack, who has been hghv-
Ing around Milwaukee with good sue
cess for some time.
Every fan who has attended Nc
Careys shows in the last year knows
Jim Tremble. He is the boy who gave
Jack o Brien such a hard run for his
money when they went on in the
championship stunt that the Philadel-
phian pulled off previous to his last
battle with Burns. Tremble is clever
and walloper, and game enough for
