A sensational race is looked for, as
there is considerable rivalry between

Dalton and Lombard
Training for Fight

MARYSVILLE, Oct. 30.-The cham
pionship lightweight battle, which will
be staged by the Phoenix athletic club
in this city on the evening of Novem-
Der 5, between Harry Lumbard, the
lightweight champion of Canada, and
Kid Dalton, the spaghetti champion
of Los Angeles, is attracting a great
deal of attention among the fight fans
of Sacramento valley.
Lumbard, who is training in this
city. having Kid McFadden as his spar
ring partner, makes a good impress
sion on all who have seen him work.
The followers of the game are of the
opinion that he will give Dalton great
battle. He is good two handed
fighter, and has left rip which causes
his opponent to back up. In boxing
with Kid McFadden he tears loose. and
the one time bantam champion breaks
ground when the Canadian starts his
tattoo. Lumbard has made good with
the large crowd of fans that crowd
his training quarters every afternoon.
Dalton is training at Chico under
the watchful eye of the veteran Jack
Grace, and is rounding to nicely. Since
beating Jack Clifford last month Dali
ton is the idol of the fans, and prob
ably will be a favorite when the boys
come together.
The preliminary between Kid Nc
Fadden and Young Carsey is attract
ing much attention. and both boys are
getting in good shape for the battle.

vilion in good time. Time will be
