Billy Papke Will Start

Local Fight Fans Eagerly Await
Chance to See Work of the
Illinois ThunderbOft

Jack Gleason received a telegram
from Tom Jones, manager of Billy

booster for the Illinois Thunderbolt''
informed the promoter of the Oeci-
dental athletic club that he and his
protege would start from La Sale.
ILL.,. for San Francisco tomorrow night
BY leaving tomorrow evening Papke
should arrive here late Thursday
night or early Friday morning.
Local fight fans are very anxious TO
see Papke work out. and his arrival
here will be hailed with delight by
followers of the pugilistic game. Not
since Nelson and Cans and Attell and
Moran were training here have the
fight fans seen any real classy work In
the gymnasium.

media has already been secured by the
Ketchel interests. and this leaves
Papke with practically choice be-
tween Millett's place and ShannonS s
villa.
As the date for the fights to be
held at the Coliseum under the auspices
of the Pacific athletic club approaches
interest in the bouts is perlking up, al
though the fight fans are not raving
over the coming scraps. The betting
is practically at standstill and very
few wagers have been made on the
outcome of the battles. Thompson and
Murphy are ruling favorites over
Unholz and Powell at 10 to ). with
very little money in sight on any OF
the fighters.
Although the betting is very light
interest in the fights is keen. The fans
do not like the card as betting
proposition, but they think that there
will be interesting lighting at the
Coliseum next Thursday evening, and
a fair attendance is the prediction OF
close students of the sport.
Not one of the fighters in tralninS 8

Unholz is doing nicely at CrolIs- He

Thompson Unholz battle The fight fans,
while they expect good bout when
the Dane and Dutchman hook up. do
not look for either fighter to show
surprising class. Local interest in
Powell and Murphy is high, as both
boys live here and have been rivals
for years.
