for Coming Battle
By T. p. MagiIIigan

For the first time in at least two
weeks, Charley Lercari, match maker
of the Pacific athletic club, rested
easy yesterday. With perfect assur-
ance that his card was secure, Ler-
earl wore smile that Indicated peace
of mind that he has not known before
since taking up the. rather precariOus
labors of tight promoter.
Lercari sent B0er Unholz over TO
CrOlis gardens in Alameda yesterday,
and the South African champion will
do his training at Jnat camp CnhOlz
Will begin nSnr training today, when
he will do rOadwOrk, but he Will hardly
start to box for several days. The
Boer believes that his wind is a bit
10 the bad and needs sharpening and
ne viii do a lot of rOddWOrk during
this week to improve his bellows.
Thompson, CnhOlzS opponent is on
his way and should arrive tomorrow.
The Cyclone has not selected his train
ing quarters. but he will work at either
Shannon's in San Rafael, or Milletts
at COlma.
Lereari had chat with Ed Nolan.
MurphyS manager. yesterday and the
latter said that his protege should ar
rive today. Powell Is training at the
Cornell athletic club. so that the tight
game here is taking on a hue of life
again that has been lacking IN the 4
sport for some time.
Around the sporting headquarters then
fans are beginning TO look with more
leniency on Lercari's card. one would
have to stretch his imagination to the
strd1ning point to see any real class
In the Thompson-Unholz fight, but
lacking class IL is promising in a more
interesting feature, inasmuch as a
struggle worth the while is predicted
Lercari said that he would bill the
70 round show at popular prices. and
81 for the gallery will be all that will
be asked for the seats from the fans
who cannot afford or do not care for
more select locations. while So and So
will be the price of entrance on the
main floor and boxes will be held at 50.
interest is taken in the Powell-Mur-
ply fight. There is keen rivalry be-
tween this pair. They met twice in
Oakland. but as they were only asked
to go six rounds on each occasion, u
really good line could not be secured
on the respective abilities of the local
and a draw in his two fights with
Powell, but the latter has always
maintained that over a longer route
he would surely conquer the aggressive
and popular little harp.
Lercari Is confident that the card
be is offering the fight fans of the city
will prove a good drawing magnet. and
he says he believes the worst he can
do from a financial standpoint is TO
break even.
