COULTER AND SULLIVAN ON
MAUD PROGRAM
GOOD BOUTS ARE cARoED FOR
TOMORROW NIGHT
Pacific Athletic Club viii Present
Thirty-six Rounds of Boxing That
Promise Real Fiehtns-Good
Crowd Expected

Tryout cards such as that arranged
for tomorrow evening by the Paciflc
Athletic club, while admittedly pos
sessing little class, invariably prove
to be satisfactory, for the reason that
there is more honest fighting and less
loafing than in many near-champion-
ship bouts. The program set before
the fans for the current week is an
unusually good combination of the
ambitious youngsters, and popular
house is expected at the old Maud
fight house.
Two newcomers who are believed to
possess more than the ordinary
amount of ability will be given test
ing. Sam Coulter, the former amateur
lightweight, will go against Gene SUI
liVan, who, though not a classy scrap
per, IS trial horse who will push
Coulter to the limit and will show up
any class that may be lying dormant.
Dan Sullivan, a brother of Gene, a
square jawed beefy middleweight,
will face Arthur Collins, the clever
negro, and if he whips Collins will be
entitled to all the recognition he IS
asking for With these two attrac-
tions to place the fans on the anxious
seat Matchmaker Hancock has added
several other short bouts that Will
bring out a lot of slugging.
Coulter never fought a long engage
ment until he hooked up with Herb
White at Venice and then he acquitted
himself extremely well, outgaming
White and finishing surprisingly
strong. Coulter has overcome the
timid feeling he had at first in the
professional ring, and the fans will be
astonished at his generalship if he
keeps up the gait he has set in his
training. Almost the entire sporting
element of the Los Angeles Athletic
club, whose colors Coulter carried to
the fore as an amateur will attend
his contest with Sullivan and cheer
for their favorite.
Sullivan Boys Aspiring
Gene Sullivan has had the advantage
of hard work with his brother Dan,
who is one of the best athletes on the
coast, and there is nothing in the
training methods that he does not un
derstand Gene has been very anxious
to make good before the Los Angeles
patrons of the game, and he viii try
to not only outpoint Coulter but will
land a finishing blow if he finds the
opportunity.
Jimmy Austin and Kid Cleveland will
put up the scientific fight of the even
ing. Both are well up in the line OF
cleverness, and the fans who have
watched the contests in which these
two bantams have engaged have been
wanting to see them together, and at
10S pounds there will be slight ad-
vantage to Cleveland, for it will take
all of his training to keep his strength
| at the figure. Jimmy Is a natural 100
pound boy and can mix it with any of
| the champions in that class. He has
been promised a match with Johnny
Coulon in the east at a later date.
Tryout with Collins
Dan Sullivan has been training for
the last MONTH hoping to be put on the
program at McCareys S with either
Billy Papke or Jim Flynn. Neither of
these middles was at hand, and so he
has decided to go on with Arthur Col
Inns at catchweights, which means
about 100 for each Sullivan shows
lightning fast in his workouts, and he
seems to be able to jump out of harms s
way whenever he is facing his op-
ponent. Collins is no slouch himself,
so the fans will get all they want of
action while this bout is going on.
Charles Norvel will make his bow
to Los Angeles when he steps into the
ring to engage Jimmy Brady for six
rounds. Norvel comes exploited as
"knocker-out," and he will endeaVor to
exhibit his powers on Brady so that
he can get into the higher class for
which he has been aspiring.
The sale of seats for the show has
been large and Manager McCarey ex-
poets good house to greet the fighters
tomorrow evening.
Jack Sieberg will arrive in Los An
geles tomorrow and will enter into
training at once for his ten-round
bout with Jack Burns on the 2Sth.
Burns has started work. at Venice al
ready and will be in better shape for
the fight than he was in when he met
Barry.
