Bout Tomorrow Night Will
Be in Line for Big Event

One of the best preliminary fights of
the year will be put on at Dreamland
rink tomorrow evening to warm the
ring for Powell and Wolgast. The con-
testants viii be Tommy Mccarthy, the
red haired lightweight, who is classed
as second Powell, and frankie Smith,
one of Alex Greggains' pupils AS all
the fans will remember, the boys fought
a hurricane 10 round draw on the night
that Powell beat Frayne last month
Mccarthy rules a favorite at odds of
10 to over Smith. The fans figure
that the class of the auburn haired
boy VIII carry him through. He seemed
to have shade in the last fight and
as this one is going 10 rounds, five
rounds further than the other one,
Mccarthy should have the advantage
If Mccarthy can get away with Smith
this time he will stand just about
where Powell stood two years ago The
boy has a great chance to become one
of the lightweight stars some day. He
is good boxer and can hit hard and
he has had the advantage of two weeks
of hard training with Powell. Those
who saw him work out could notice his

Smith learned the game under the
