ing at the DreamIand
Rink Bouts
By T. P. MagiiIigan

After four desperate rounds of fight
ing Eddie Marron was awarded the
decision over Harry Stremmel at the
Dreamland rink show last night.
Stremmel had the better of the first
three rounds, but the judges decided
to order another round and Marion
showed to advantage in this period, al
though near the end Stremmel put over
one haymaker that looked as though 1t
might cash for him.
The semiwindup between Charley
Miller and Charley Taylor, pair of
husky heavies. was d mirth provoker.
Inc M1ller-Taylor bout was SO poor
curing the first three rounds that the
Sudges aaag mad to order an extra round to
Inc championship went to Taylor.

leIt knee most of the time, but al
ways Neil short. Lynch knocked Ber-
ryessa down twice and won the deci-
IN the three round go between Ben
nett and McGovern, Bennett proved the
gamer boy and won handily.
Al Williams tried to use a Mississippi
shit on Billy Warren. Williams stood
with his right foot foremost. but this
dldnt buffalo Warren, and the latter
won.
Kid Monahan, the possessor of a hard
punch, beat Racehorn in the first round
after knocking him down three times.
Young Granfield easily disposed of

Alec Greggains had letter from Billy Glib

his man against either Hyland Frayne, Powell,

sic is In good shape and that he is willing to
make wager that his man beat any of the
men whom he names in the letter.
Too bad that Gibson was few days too late
in seeking match. Had Gibson written week
earlier there is little doubt that he could have
secured fight for his before Lercari's
club, as Charley badly OF for talent even
less than a week ago
Memsic has been fighting pretty well In the

Memsic is rather free liver and strong head
ed boy, but if he could be whipped into shape
he would make a fair card out this way II
Greggains would agree to take hold of AIemsic

with Young Corbett when the Denver fat boy

Govern, Memsic might make a profitable move
by coming to the coast.
Match Maker Tommy Simpson of the West
Oakland club has announced his card for this
month. and on paper 1t looks very attractive to
lovers of the short distance bouts. He will hold
the bouts the latter part of the month, but has
not yet set the date
Toby Irwin and Arthur Allen will appear as
the main eventers and are booked TO go six
rounds Abe Label and Kid Bell are also down
for a six round bout, while Eddy Menney and
Jimmy Reagan, Charley Lucca and Tommy
Deakin and Frank Burgess and Ike Dougherty
are down TO go the six round route. There will

card will eclipse anything that he has recently
offered the fight fans.
Charley Lercari received a telegram from Cy-
clone Johnny Thompson from Ogden yesterday.
in which the latter said that he would reach
San Francisco about $3.50 this afternoon. Thomp
son is accompanied by his manager, Lichtenstein.
