Jimmy Clabby of Hammond and
Jimmy Gardner of Lowell. Mass, two
of the best welter- weights in the coun-
try. will meet in West hammond be-
fore the Columbia Athletic club Fri
day, June IS.
This is by far the best fight that the
Columbia Athletic club ever put on,

the automobile races at Crown Point
when there will be thousands Of peo-
pie going through the city in automo-
blles a big crowd is assured. The dis
tance is ten rounds
The fight will be held in a big tent,
which will be erected in a place that
is more accessible than Mikas hall. The
tent will have a seating capacity of
several thousand people.
This fight will be one of the most
important that has been put on here
in long time and will probably at
tract the attention of sportsmen all over
the country.
The fight will be held either in the
afternoon or in the evening. The time
will be set so that the automobilists re-
turning to Chicago from the races at
Crown Point can stop over and see
the go.
Jimmy Clabby is well known all over
/ the middle west. and Gardner is one oil

ness They have already met twice
/ In one fight Gardner got the decision
/ over Clabby that was protested by th'

number of the property owners are
