DALTON HAS DRAWN
TOUGH JOB FOR ONCE
Frank Carsey Impresses Fans by Ex-
celIent Showing In Training, and
Chicago Boy Probably VIII
Be Favorlte

With the supremely interesting Nc
Farland- Welsh fight almost at hand
for the local fans, those who follow the
doings in the Vernon ring have almost
overlooked the fact that scrap of
more than ordinary promise as slug
fest is slated to occur Saturday after
noon. Frank Carsey and Kid Dalton,
who will be the chief articles on the
menu for the event, are boys who
should furnish an interesting battle,
and were it not for the fact that they
are followed by such a high class pair
of light weights their ,lolngs would be
the subject Of greater discussion along
the rialto.
Both Dalton and Carsey are boys
who will fight. The local spaghetti
champion has been working a long
time for a main event. and now that
his chance has come he promises to
mako the best of it. Dalton never took
the ring game real seriously until he
whipped Peter Sullivan. but after that
event he began to think the thing over
and has come to the conclusion that
he some cay will be a real champ.
In Carsey he has about as good q
trial horse as could be found The
Chicago lad has met some of the best
boys in the business. and his page in
the dope book holds more than its
fair share of wins. He Is rough little
fellow with shoulders like Hercules,
and when he swings with either hand,
plenty Of force is behind the punch.
Dalton always has been known as
a glutton for punishment and his
showing at any and every old time
was OF the best. The main trouble
with the kid has been lack of dis
lance and as soon as he graduated
from the six and ten-roUnd ranks he
Immediately surprised the natives by
whipping such a classy boy as Peter
Sullivan.
Dalton now will have further chance
to show how good he is, for IN all nus
fights he has improved with each
round Time after time boys have
been imported from Frisco and the east
to take his measure, but on every oc-
casion the spaghetti champ was there
at the end. He is not one these Joe
Grim artists, either. The Kid always
is fighting at his best lick. and the
faster the other lad makes the pace
the better is his showing. Clever boys
always have all the bess of the milling
in the shorter engagements. but Dalton
opens up toward the end and has never
been in real danger of being put away,
even by such we'll thought of men as
Phil Brock
Carsey is both a slugger and boxer.
ders gives him a hitting power such
as few light weights possess. and the
natural gameness of the lad makes
him formidable opponent for any but
the fastest in the business.
Not much betting has been INDUCED
in on the bout and what little there is
favors Carsey shade. None can be
found who will bet that he puts Dalton
away, but 1t seems to be the general
opinion that the bout will go the limit
at a fast pace and that Carsey's SUI
perior knowledge of the inside of the
ring game will win for him.
There is no doubt that those who
love the good old-fashioned style of
milling will get their moneys worth of
slugging and general fighting. Dalton
and Carsey are game enough to take
whatever the other man has in store
and Jim Jeffries probably will have a
hard job deciding the mill should the
expected happen and the limit Of
twenty-five rounds be reached.
When Peter Sullivan lost to Dalton
on Decoration day he asked Manager
Ions of the Jeffries club for another
chance and Howard Baker was select.
ed as his opponent. The boys have
been working faithfully and their If
teen-round semi windup doubtless will
be almost as interesting as the main
event.
