LOSER IN BOUT
GETS NOTHING
HEBRON AND WEBSTER BOX
ON THIS BASIS
nWiNNER TAKES ENTIRE PURSE
AS HIS REWARD
Classy Featherweiehts Tangle at Ten
Rounds Tuesday Night, with De-
feat and No Pay the Spec
tire to Avoid
BY JAY DAVIDSON

The main event of the boxing card
that Manager McCarey as arranged
for his show Tuesday night, in which
Martin Hefron and Danny Webster
will wrangle over the ten-round course.
begins to look like a very classy offer
ing, and If the discussions of the fans
are to be regarded as criterion. there
will be as big house that night as
when Picato and Wolgast mixed it last
week.
Heron is looked upon as conner be-
cause of his decisive victories in the
two battles he has fought locally. He
acts like natural fighter while in the
ring, hits like a Fitzsimmons and
boxes as cleverly as an Attell. In fact,
he is regarded as something of mar
velous combination Of a high-class
fighter and boxer.
Only one losing fight mars his rec
ord, Freddie Weeks having defeated
him at Goldfeld, when Heron fought
merely to save his forfeit, although
suffering great agony with wrenched
knee that would not bear his weight.
He has won his local engagements by
the dreamland route in ragtime. ana
expects to put Webster away long Re-
fore the limit is reached. Both boys
are unusually confident of success,
however, and are fighting on a winner
take-all basis, so 1t is certain to be a
fight where both boys will put forth
the best efforts in them.
Webster may have lost prestige in his
two defeats by Wolgast, but when one
considers the class of the Milwaukee
featherweight and his right to claim
the near hampionship OF the world, 1t
hardly is fair to send Webster to the
scrap heap because he was defeated
by this pugilistic freak. Danny is a
willing mixer, clever and a hard hit
ter He has the courage to fight 1t out
to the last ditch and always has made
1t very interesting for all his opponents.
In addition to the main event there
will be five preliminaries, as follows:
Young Turner VS.. Hobo Dougherty.
six rounds at catch weights.
Jimmy Austin VS.. Young Miller. six
rounds at 10 pounds at 6 o'clock for
side bet of 500.
Frank Nelson VS.. Norman Stone, six
rounds at catch weights.
Dick Winter VS.. Curley O'Connell,
four rounds at catch weights.
Mike Fusco vs. Kid Rees, four
rounds at catch weights.
Jimmy Austin, through his manager,
Harry Lurie, has posted the 500 side
in their scrap the latter part of this
he has $500 more to go the same way
if anybody wants to take 1t or any
part of it. Austin is anxious to get
back on the regular list and as Miller
accepted his challenge few days ago
and came forth with the side bet, the
| match was made.
Young Turner, who was knocked out
by Martin Hefron in his last fight, will
tackle that tough piece of meat, Hobo
Dougherty, over the six-round route
and another lively mill should result.
Hobo has won nearly all of his fights
on the coast and seems to have some
class to him. Ad Wolgast is looking
after him.
In addition to this card, Mccarey
is trying to close a couple of other
matches for early dates. George Mem
sic and Frank Picato is one bout that
he probably will close, conditioned, of
course, upon Memsic whipping Picato
/ ntheir scrap the latter part of this
month. Ralph Galloway, the negro
who knocked out Battling Johnson re-
Gently, and Jim Cameron. the human
fence rail, also will be given chance
If they can agree on terms and condi-
lions. This scrap will be put on April
49, If the scrappers are willing.
