TOMORROW NIGHT
The Big EVENT
BOXERS ARE IN THE PINK OF
CONDITION FOR THE
CONTEST

| Tomorrow night will be a big one
for the Tonopah Athletic Club, as the
card the promoters have put up for
the benefit of the public is we'll
worthy of the attendance of every
lover of the fistic art. Jack (Twinl
Sullivan, who has a national reputa-
ton, will be one of the principals.
His past performance in the rope.i
arena is of such character
that it will convince those attending
that the club has secured the services
of one of the cleverest and craftiest
boxers before the public today. Sui
livan is seasoned ring general who
has participated in more than one
hundred battles. His opponents have
been the best men that have come to
the surface in recent years, and many
an aspirant for championship honors
has gone to defeat before the
superior work of the baldheaded boy
of New England.
Against Sullivan is pitted Terry
Mustain, the pride of Tonopah, and
whose friends in Southern Nevada
are legion, a boy who is strong and
willing and one who will contest
every inch of the road to the last
ditch. Terry has worked most faith
fully for this bout, and it has been
harder work than he has ever before
done, fully realizing that to defeat
Sullivan means everything to him IN
the future. Since he boxed here last
Summer he has improved wonderful
ly. and his admirers think that he
has more than an even break vita
Sullivan. While on the other hand
Jacks friends say that his knowledg
OF the game will more than offset
Mustain's youth and strength. One
thing about Terry, as we'll as about
any man who endeavors to carry any
thing to successful conclusion, is
that he has a world of confidence in
himself and that he will lower the
colors of the old warhorse tomorrow
night. If Terry can win from Sulli-
van he is on the sure way to climb
higher up the ladder.
With the betting fraternity Sulli-
vans experience carries the mos.
weight with the sports, as several 2
to / bets have been made by Gold
cid parties on the Twins chances, as
he is strong favorite in the south
ern town. Terry's friends, on the
other hand, are laying for the odds,
thinking that they have cinch bet.
Charles w. Miller, manager TO-.
Mustain, says that Terry is practical
ly through his work and will do just
enough to keep him limbered UP un-
til the time for his entrance into the
ring. He thinks that he has Terry
in better condition at the present
time than ever before, and the fighter
is in perfect form.
The preliminary between Freddie
Weeks and Kid Daugherty is one ofl
the best advance cards that has ever
been put on. Weeks has host i'll
admirers in Tonopah, he being EN-
ployed in the Mizpah Mine, where he |
has the backing of all the mining fra
ternity, while Daugherty, who comes
well recommended from high sport |
ing authorities, having boxed sucr
men as Grover Hayes, and Young Err
lenborn, of Denver, and number OF
other topnotchers, will receive the
support of the knowing ones. Weells
has met with defeat but once, ami
that at the hands of the peer of all
featherweights-Abe AttelI. They
are scheduled to go six rounds.
Another preliminary has been add
ed. Jack Lawrence and Howard |
Troutman, who are in the lightweight |
class, will box four rounds. This
should be lively mill.
Jack McDonnough, one of the best |
known referees on the West Coast.
and man who never fails to give
good satisfaction, understanding all
the fine points of the game, has been
prevailed upon to act In that capac-
ity.
The doors will open at O'Clock
and the preliminaries viii start
promptly at s:3O. The house viii be
we'll ventilated and the evenings ea-
Iertalnmcnt will certainly be a most
