AT TEN ROUNDS
Four Six-Round Bouts, Which Promise

Main Event and Gallery
Will Be King
BY A. E. DuNNING


Although featured by no bout of out
standing class, the card to be pre-
scented by McCareys Pacific Athletic
club tomorrow night at Maud Junction
strikes the fans as being one OF no
little class, owing to the fact that eV-
cry man down on the program is
fighter known as a willing mixer,
promising to be going forward in ev-
cry round. The ten youngsters VINO
will dispute for the pork and beans
supremacy will engage In TOTAL OF
thirty-four rounds of boxing, four six
round bouts and one ten-round event
being carded. Hefron and sullivan arc
hardly entitled to shine as main
event attraction, but are the strongest
of the contenders for the local honors,
and therefore are given the place OF
honor. The other bouts on the pro-
gram may produce just as interesting
fighting, and in fact the Austin-Mc-
Govern meeting is the one which
should bring the thrills, but Hefron has
some title to class owing to his knock
out of Eddie Menny, and in order to
afford him an opportunity to fight
himself back into the public favor he
is given this chance to make a real
showing.
The Home fans will find in this pro-
gram considerable local interest. lt
is simply a popularpriced card of To-
cal youngsters, all well known and
willing boys, and each has so many
supporters in local pugdom that class
will be replaced by local pride. There
fore a big and highly enthusiastic gal
lery will be out to lend vociferous sup
port to it's favorites.
Hefron, having recovered his condi-
ton, is easing up on his training at
Venice, and says he will be in tip
top condition Friday night. He will
need all his strength and skill, for in
Sullivan he faces rather dark horse,
since for the first time in his career
frankie has gone through systematic
period of preparation. Sullivan is
working at the South Side Athletic club.
where also are Jimmy Austin and VIII
lie Mack. The main eventers will make
121 pounds at o'clock the day or the
fight, which should be easy for both
and leave them in good fighting trim.
Sullivan's known wallop will be match
ed against Hefron's class and clever
ness, and the result is so open to
guesswork that each man is plentiful
ly supported
In the McGovern-Austin match. the
ring followers will see a bout concern
ing which there has been a deal OF
conjecture in the last two years. These
two splinterweights have been threat
ening to sign up for a decisive strug
gle for many a month, and McGoyern
| has always been the willing one. Aus
tin knowing that concealed somewhere
| in those thin little arms of Terry's is
fearful wallop. has been sidesteppins
until he felt himself sufficiently ex-
perienced to cope with the local ban
| tamweight champion. Jimmy believes
he can take McGovern's measure now.
| and when the pair hook up for their
six-round go at 107 pounds at o'clock
there should be few feathers flying.
Al Rogers and Willie Mack are the
heaviest men on the card, each agree
| ing to make 135 pounds at o'clock.
Both having been tried, a furious short
bout is expected. Curley O'Connell
and Kid Cleveland are down for six
rounds in the second bout of the even
| ing, and against O'Connell's superior
weight Cleveland will pit his ring
! knowledge. Cleveland has recently
| purchased a bootblack stand and with
the proceeds of this battle the dusky
! fighter hopes to finish the payments
and establishing himself in business.
Enough said considering O'Connelps
showing in putting out Dick Winters
recently. Chester Moss and Willie
Kelly will appear in the curtain-raiser
at six rounds.
