The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-12-05

this man Miller can do. Also there is
nothing to keep the brokest fan away,
for Joe Cohen has, for some unexplain-
ed reason, reduced the price of seats
and admission to an absolute minimum;
IN fact, one can sit at the ringside for
one-quarter of what gallery seat cost
at the last Burns o 'Brien meeting.
To say that both the principals in the
main event are ready and fit is superfu-
Gus. They have been training faith
fully, and, as an Advertiser represen-
tative has constantly visited both
camps, the fans may take it that this
statement is not from hearsay nor from
the hot air of managers and trainers,
but actual fact.
Dick Sullivan has been seen on the
street plenty of times, and one only has
to catch a glimpse of his bright, swing
ing walk and clear complexion to see
that he is as fit as the proverbial fiddle.
AS for Miller, he is on the very edge
of eager condition He has perfect con-
fdence in himself, and will 60 after
Sullivan like wounded tiger after
beaten. He is out to put Sullivan away,
and he is going to make an awful hard
stab at it, With a boxer of the power
full, keen, aggressive type of Miller one
never knows what may happen.
Sullivan Must Be Wary.
There is no question but that Dick
will have to use all his science and ring
generalship to keep away from the hard
rushes of the soldier. That wonderful
left of his will have to work overtime
if it is to worry the sturdy infantry
man. Miller has gone through a course
of sprouts each day that would put an
ordinary mortal into bed for a week,
yet he has thriven on it and is as hard |
as exercise and consistent and vehe
ment pounding by a heavy medicine
ball can make him.
The bout is going to be real hum |
mer. We shall have a man Of acknowl- |
edged cleverness and an old hand at the |
game up against heavier man with |
superior muscle and, perhaps, staying |
qualities, who has a fearful punch in
either hand. The question is, can Mil
Ter get through that left jab and clever
defense and land sleep-producer, and
can Sullivan worry his man sufficiently
to make him open up for>the knockout
blow. This matter will be settled to-
night in the most satisfactory way pos
sible, and, judging by the advance sale,
there will be packed house to see it |
settled.
Attractive Openers.
The two preliminaries are both at |
traetive events. Everybody here knows |
what McFadden can do when he is put |
to it, and what a hard wallop he car
ries in either hand. He is up against
no easy money in young Terry, who will |
box him eight rounds as the second pre-
urinary.
Young Terry came here from the
Coast after passing the initiation
stage by beating one or two good
ads, and he expected to find a few
ike Lahey and Reilly here, with whom
lie wanted a chance. Now he has his
,hance against man nearly as good
Is those mentioned and it is up to him
o make good. That he will do his
Utmost to do so, there is no doubt,
or he is a gamelooking youngster,
With no earmarks of anything but
'ulldog pluck combined with enough
peed and cleverness to make him dan
erous for any 13O-pound man in the
ing today.
Found Round Whirlwind.
The four-round curtain-raiser be-
ween Boquet and McCulloch will be a
Thirlwind while it lasts. McCulloch
) an unknown quantity here, but in
is training work he has shown great
peed and he seems to be in excellent
ondition. The boys out at the En-
ineers camp are very sure that he
