This is what is going to come Off
at the Orpheum tonight and Joe Cohen
has certainly raised bumper card for
the fans. Each one of the bouts will
! be well matched and the main event
bids fair to be the prettiest thing of
its kind ever pulled off here.
Cordell comes here with a good repu-
tation and has impressed everybody
| who has watched him work out. His
/ records shows that he is courageous and
| that he can take hard lick with the
/ best of them
! Added to his courage he has wonder
full strength and plenty of eleverness.
| His left works with a speed and pre-
eision that can be compared only to
that of little Charlie Reilly. At the
same time he has right that can
| deliver a sledge hammer blow and he
also has the brain work right there on
| the indicator
/ Everybody here knows Sullivan.
Thev know how cool and collected he
lis when boxing and how he works that
| great left of his at every opportunity.
Dick also has great punch as many
who have felt it can testify.
No Easy Time for Dick
! But Dick is up against no easy game
! He has to box a youth of proved STAN
| ina and courage, who can take the
| hardest iolts with a shake of the head
and a request for more. His opponent
/ has, apparently, nearly as much clever
ness as he and may well keep him
guessing.
| ANY forecast of the rsult of the mill
| would be invidious for Dick is a great
local favorite. while Cordell has gained
/ many admirers here, especially among
| the bows in the service. It is hard
to think that one of them has to take
beating, nut these arguments would
have no interest attached to them il
/ one man did not get his and so we
can onlv wait until tonight and watch
| what@will certainly be the greatest mid
| dleweight bout ever brought off here.
Sullivan Friends Rally.
| Dick s friends rallied around him in
great shape yesterday and covered all
| the money that was brought up by the
| Marines and other Cordell admirers
There has been more live betting done
! on this GO than any here for a long
| time and the live talk has come so
| evenly from both sides during the last
two DAYS that the men will certainly
enter the ring at even money.
Dick had an air of confidence yes
terday afternoon. He stated that he
had quit work and was feeling just as
lift as the proverbial fiddle with a some.
thing TO let loose tonight. He looks
in excellent trim. His face is a trife
drawn, but he always looks that way
when he is prepared to box and he
looks Just as healthy and fit as a man
Ecould be-
Corde1l Is Confident.
Cordell is not an the shadow when
it comes to the confidence business.
He makes no bones about stating it
very clearly that he will hand it to
Sullivan tonight. He was asked last
evening, by q fan, what he thought
about the outcome of the event and
he said Conversation is easy, but
just take it from me that I shall oI.t-
box and outhit Sullivan If I do not
put him away before fifteen rounds
are over ! deserve to lose
Good Preliminaries.
Perhaps the most interesting Of the
preliminaries will be the Mccullough
Wahilani argument. Both of these
welterweights are local favorites and
they can both deliver the goods. Wa
