SIX BOXERS ARE
READY FOR CONG
McFadden and Reilly Both in
Tiptop Condition - Other
Boxers Also Fit.

All six of the participants in the
big boxing carnival to be held here
tomorrow night, are tuned up to the
last notch and in fine fettle to make
the showing of their lives,
Jack MeFadden let up a trife on
his afternoon work yesterday as he is
down to weight and does not want to
overdo things. He and Tommy Lane
did very strenuous piece of road
work last Wednesday. They went up
Tantalus and kept going hard all the
way and it put a strain on them tha'
assured them that their winds were
in good condition.
Yesterday Jack went a trifie more
easily and stayed on the level GROUND.
In the. afternoon Soldier Mccullough
turned I'D at the baths and was IN
vited to 90 with the lightweight when
he did to the tune of four rounds or
lively boxing.
Having an opponent larger than nm
self lack was able to let himself Out
trife which he did with great effect
For the first time since he has been
training he really opened up with his
left and he aroused admiration from
the score or so of spectators by the
wonderful auickness and force of his
left leads. Time and time again h
nut his glove on the soldiers face and
neck and this with no gentle touch
either.
Mccullough was not to be stopped
by few things like that, however;
and he came on for more all the time.
He is very well hailt and light and
active on his. feet with a right swing
that would draw the curtains when Ii
lands right.
There is no mistaking the fact that
McFadden is really in fine shape.
There is not suspicion of 1aziness
to any of his movements and he jumps
around the gallery in between rounds
as jolly and full of life as sand
sprat. He is trained to the minute and
is ready to step into the ring at any
time.
Reilly is. in equally good shape. Pete
Baron has watched over him with
tender care and states that his pro-
tege is in perfect condition. AS the
work has progressed Reilly has shown
Improvement each day in his boxing.
The work has loosened him up and he
is able to move with marvellous quick
ness and agility.
This lad is undeniably clever on his
feet. His foot work is admirable and
is a feature of his boxing Added to
this he has quick duck that is very
effective and he appears to be an ex
eellent judge of distance, one of the
in gS
success.
Both boys viii do only little work
today and rest practically all day to
morrow. They are both very eager tic
win and each has everything to gain
by besting his opponent, so that slap
bang go may be looked for.
Wahilani has been training faithful
ly at the Kakaako Athletic Club ano
Wild Swan, his sparring partner, slater
that his man is feeling right. The
eight-round preliminary between him
and Soldier Mccullough should be !;
very classy affair. They are both clev-
er and1have good blows tucked away
in either hand and there should be not
dull minute during the go.
The first preliminary between the
two little fellows, Tommy Lane and
George Willis, is to be only four rounds
and over that distance the boys should
put up a lightning exhibition. They
are both very clever, as samll boxers
always are, and it will be a great show
of lead, duck and counter
The sale ofs seats opened yesterday
and requests for reservations and pur
chases came in very nicely. There is
great interest being shown in the com,
ing event and there is little doubt that
large crowd of fans will assemble
to watch the clever performers give
their boxing exhibition.
