decisively, it will injure Emmick's
chances on the Atlantic coast, but if the
San Franciscan wins it viii be another
feather in his cap, and will speed him
eastward for good matches.
Emmick Is Clever
Emmick possesses more ability than
most of the cOastWse fans give him
credit for. He is a remarkably fast boy,
has respectable punch, is rarely game,
and his footwork is far above the or
binary. He fights on the Abe Attell
plan, measuring his man with jabs and
uppercuts, and boring in when he forces
an opening.
In Webster he clashes with a boy as
fast as he is, as clever, and only failing
to measure up in one particular-ag-
gressiveness. Thereon hinges the re-
suit, for Danny will have to go a hot
pace to carry off the honors.
In addition to the two ten-round
bouts, Handicapped Hancock has
framed up program of preliminaries
that should produce more than the
usual amount of bitter contention.
Jake Arnold, always a slugger, has
agreed to dispute with Charlie Boesen

He can't do it, indeed, and If he tries
it he will only reduce himself to a

must, but if it has many members
of this kind it will be dull. heavy and
unprogressive.
Man in isolation is of little cOnse-
