3 rounds.
MANAGER MCAREY will stage
vi the first of his popular price fight
4sA cards tonight at Maud Junction.
and it is about the most attractive OF
fering he has made with the lighter d1-
visions in many months. The caro-
will consist of a main event at ten
rounds. in which Frank Carsey ana
Phil Brock will be the principals, ana
three six-round preliminaries. This VIII
be q fight card, not a boxing aHalfs as
every scrapper engaged is born hght-
er and knows more in minute apout
the rough house game than Abe Attell
ever will know about the pretty side OF
the sport.
The card may be cheapened by the
price, as it is entirely too good TO De
offered at so cents and 81 throw. put
the price cannot affect the class of the
boys engaged, and the main event needs
no stretch of imagination to make 1t
good main event anywhere. LOCAL fight
fans will not soon forget the great bat
tie that Carsey and Brock put up at
Vernon a few weeks ago, when these
bows created unusual enthusiasm
rafting SUGGEST, that went on until
Brock scored a knockout in the TWEEN
tieth round.
In that fight there scarcely was a
moment when q knockout was not al
most at hand, and the two game little
scrappers stood toe to toe and mauled
away most earnestly and effectively
until the end. For pure and simple
fighting, they certainly earned all the
great applause they were given by the
excited fans. 1t was Carsey's fight UNI
til the fifteenth round, as his cleverness
made 1t possible for him to outpoint
Brock I'D to that stage of the fight, all
though both were smuggling good and
hard all the time. After the fifteenth
Brock woke up, and from then until the
end he more than outfought Carsey.
The fans are very much at sea re-
garding the probable result and are
unable to make a decided favorite Of
either. They cannot get away from
Brock because he knocked Carsey stiff
and cold in their last meeting. Neither
can they overlook the fact that Carsey
would have been an easy winner in
that fight had it been a ten-round af-
fair. II Brock wakes up tonight and
fights from the first gong he may
duplicate his Vernon feat, but Carsey
is wise young owl and may conclude
not to be knocked out. At any rate,
the fight will be a hummer all the
way and if Carsey reverses the YER
dict of their former fight what a time
there will be while he is turning the
trick.
Carsey remains a 10 to favorite.
simply because there is prepon-
derance of coin to back the swarthy
lad, but Brock has made many friends
by the manner in which he has gone
about his training, and he will not lack
backing in the ring when they meet
tonight.
Carsey finished work yesterday with
his usual road stunt and his per-
Torrance in the ring at the South
Side Athletic club, in which he boxed
five rounds with Charlie Ansiinger.
Brock did that same work as on other
days, and his last work with the mits
previous to going into the ring at the
pavilion showed that he intends to set
"a hot pace from the start, as Charlie
I.ucca had difficulty in keeping out of
his way through the entire six sessions.
Brock retains confidence in himself and
viii listen to no other suggestion than
that he will win. He declares that
he will drop his opponent in short or
der, and his camp followers, to the
man, are of the same opinion.
The boys who are to take part in the
other events of the evening were hard
at work yesterday at McCarey's pa
Vilion, and from the earnestness of the
boxers it is certain that the six-round
bouts viii be full of action from the
start to the finish.
Joe Williams declared that he con-
sidered himself in such shape after his
workout that he will be able to give
Anslinger a tough battle while the
affair lasts. Norman Stone has great
aspirations for further honors, and he
will see that Fairbanks does some hard
fighting before he will acknowledge
him the better man. Joe Rogers and
Willie Mack have finished their work
and will furnish the spectators with q
rapid fire Opening contestn
