and & VIII Re = 25 round contest. or
less. according 20 the punching abili-
ties OF the rivals This event viii be
preceded b. = 10 round 90 between
FRANKIE Smith and JeH Perry. light
weights, and George Green. the middle
weight asvorite OF bygone days. and
Kid Erzntz. the Seattle sIugger- The
three events make the card very at
traotlvs one for the fans who like a
medium priced show
The betting last night favored Nell
a. odds OF 20 10 s. Despite the great
work which Atteli has been doing for
the last year the fans are apparently
certain that Neil can come back and
beat him The men are 10 weigh IN al
Ie o'clock At Tom Corbett's and the
weight Is rs pounds. Both seem 20 be
soie 70 make this without apparent
effort
The winner Of the contest undoubt-
ccly VIII be clsssed the America
bantam champion. ID 10 a few months
ago this honor was bestowed upon
Johnny Couion OF Chicago. but when
A. the weight Neil was substituted
and. IN the meantime. the fans forgot
that such person as Coulon ever
toyed with boxing glove.
Neil has not fought IN this city for
more than & year. His last stand was
against Abe AttelI brother OF the man
tsirlE ano souarely and without a
chance Of an argument At that time
Nel looked 70 be like a man on the
pugiiistic toboggan, but he wended his
way eastward shortly sfterward and
made quite a record for himself.
In most OF his eastern fights Neil
vas pltted against such men as Abe
Arreli, Moran Tommy Murphy and 9TH
eus who outweighed him from 10 TO u
pounds lie did rot get a chance at
any OF those IN his class and fooiishly
% keep busy Today he meets one OF
his own weight and this may make &
vast difference with him.
ALreI has been sailing right along
IN the victorious channel for the last
year Every man he has met has been
his victim He trimmed Jimmie Rea-
gan, Jockey Bennett and Harry Dell
lanoilT enough and fought & Is round
draw with Jimmy Walsh OF Boston,
who, IN the meantime, was outpointed
by Reagan This is quite a record
Tor the dfmilutlve Jewish scrapper-
Intense hatred prevails between Neil
and AttelL The iatters brother beat
FRANKIE no less than three times. and
the victim Is now bent on getting even
with Monte who IS absolutely certain
that ne can do as well against him as
his famous brother did There IS no
chance Of any love being wasted be-
tween the pair when they clash this
afternoon
The other two lights look good on
PAPER George Green. the once great
middle weight has managed 70 get
back intc~fcrm and viii try conclusions
With Kid krsntZ OF Seattle in a 10
round setto- Green has many admirers
who are sure that he viii be able 70
take the measure OF his younger op-
pouent and thus win back some Of
his former crop Of lsurels.
