JOY of Joys! An international
boxing match right in our midst!
How the sports wakened up when
the news that Peter Quastret of the
good ship Cambrian was matched TO
fight Nelson, the durable! Say, a
real howl' Of delight went up from
the fight fans, and many a staid pa
ter began to frame up some kind of
decent excuse to hand out to mater,
for his trip down town on Saturday
night. Everyone who can possibly
manage II will be crowded within
the Orpheum walls and the show
should be n magnificent one. Three
preliminaries-all of which under or
binary conditions would be star
turns-will be pulled off. Why the
Characterization fight alone would
draw a full house. Then consider
the McCollough-Sharkey bout; that
too will be a stellar event which will
touch the audience in the right spot.
Then the comet act between kid"
Terry and Corporal Bird will begin.
and IL anyone is not satisfied with
this turn he had better not go to
Paradise when he pegs out, because
he would at once register a kick
about the At OF his halo and get into
pilikia with Peter.
The Sullivan-Pcterson scrap is sure
going to be rafting one, and one
that will stir the "possum" in every
body who is lucky enough to be pres.
ent.
IL is hard to say who will win the
big fight, as both men are ut to fight
for a kingdom. and are out after
each Others scalps. Both feel as con-
fdent as possible. and, although the
two men are, Of course. a bit anx-
ious, that feeling OF unrest will prob
ably wear Off as soon as they step
into the ring.
Judging from the former fight put
up by these two boxers, there can be
no doubt about what sort OF a SCRAP
Is coming of tomorrow night. IL is
going to be a peach, and Il will prob
ably end in a knockout. The referee
VIII not have much trouble this time
as the affair is to be a clean break
hight. In fact, all four matches are
to be fought under the no-hitting- in
clinches clause. And good Job It
is. too, for the weary hanging on
and wrestling business tires and dis
gusts spectators who pay their mon
ey to see boxing, not huggy.muggy
love affair. We can see plenty Of
that kind of dope around the parks
any old evening. Well. one thing is
sure, and that is that this scrap is
going to be no sweetheart stunt, and
Will be more like a Texas feud of
the old days than anything else.
Sullivan, as usual, seems to be the
favorite, although Peterson has many
friends who swear by his chance.
There is not much love lost between
the two training camps and every
thing points to a terrific fight. Jack
McFadden reckons his man cannot
lose, whilst Hines. Peterson's train
err, says Pete will put 1t all over Dick
on Saturday night.
Quastret comes into the limelight
with great reputation. lie is cred
tied with having remained in the
ring with Joe Walcott for twelve
rounds. 1t was a decision fight and
Walcott got the verdict by narrow
margin.
This being a fact places Peter in
Glass One at his weight, and the To-
cal lad will have to extend himself
bit to make good. However, Mel.
son has had no trouble so far In any
OF his fights, and has won them all
easily. The British biuejackets will
no doubt be present at the fight Ia
large numbers and their officers will
probably line the ringside to cheer
their countryman on to victory. OH!
II sure is going TO be a great nights
fun, SO Sc busy and grab a. ticket
or else you'll be left as sure as fate.
