WEIGHTS who reck little of the otnel
fellows class or punch, are prllnet
ready for a mauling match tomorrow
night at Maud Junction, when the mel
meet in a ten-round no-decision pout
Yesterday after a hard workout, II
which both men went to their showers
dripping from the effects of stlf pro
gram in the melting atmosphere, these
two athletes pronounced themselves III
for the fray and ended the hardest
part of their siege of preparation:
At the same hour little Danny WEEP
ster concluded his training Tor the Ten
round battle with Al EmmicK, the san
Franciscan. which will be staged as
the senli-windup of the evening. Petite
Dannu. dancing to his rubbers on MS
tiptoes, looked the framed picture OF
condition, and if the local boy loses
tomorrow night the only excuse Will
be the natural one of more class.
Judicious selection of matches and
picking of opponents has afforded the
Maud Junction fans q card whose di-
versity is rivaled by its attractive
neess. The perliminaries loom up as
probable exhibitions of the rough edges
of the game, thus fulfilling the mis-
sion of curtain raisers. Two remarks
ably fast and clever lads will battle in
the first ten-round session for the Pa
cific coast featherweight champion
ship. and then science and f1eetnesS of
foot will give way to that determined
rugged milling which is sure to be wit
messed when Jim Flynn's name is
found on the card.
Fighters on Edge
Sullivan wound up his preliminary
work at his Venice quarters yester-
day, but today will do enough exercis-
ing to be on edge. His trainers are
confident that he will prove too tough
for even the fighting fireman, and they
expect him to carry the fight to his
opponent. However, Jim usually at
tends to this portion of the plan of
attack himself, and Montana probably
will be forced to content himself with
meeting and parrying the onslaughts
of the Pueblan before he is finished.
The men will meet at catchweights,
and both will enter the ring at about
1875 pounds.
A bakers dozen of ambitious young
sters, some of whom are new to the
ring, and others who have been under
fire, gathered yesterday to assist Flynn
in his last matinee of hard work
Flynn went through all the routine of
up with that conscientious
care that always sends
him to the ring in splendid shape. Then
he tackled the gloves and spent a full
hour and half in this final after
noon of drilling. Three rounds each
with frankie Sullivan, Charlie Dalton
and Fred Corbett put him in excellent
humor for a fighting finish, and five
fast rounds with King Hogan, a new
conner from Denver. wound up the
program.
In all thirty rounds of boxing are
ON the Tuesday evening card. With
Flynns spectacular methods for the
finals, the fast and pretty clash ex-
pected in the Webster Emmick meet
ing and the stirring opening bouts, the
mitt enthusiasts have every reason to
dig up any excuse possible that will
take them to the ringside.
