Hyland and Attell
Look Good to F ans
Fighting Dick and Monte Are the Choices
For Tomorrow Nights Bouts
By WILLIAM j. sLATTERY

Fighting Dick Hyland, the Grass VAL
ley boy, rules 10 to favorite over
Johnny Frayne of this city, whom he
fights tomorrow evening at the Coli
scum under the auspices of the Mis-
sion club. For the special event, Monte
Attell, now recognized as the worlds
bantam weight champion, is selling at
to / over Percy Cove 1t will be
Cove's first start in San Francisco, and
for this reason he has not much of a
following. Cove is going in merely
on his reputation, while on the other
hand AttelPs wonderful showing here
during the last year has won him a
hrm position in the estimation of the
fans.
Hyland and Frayne are down on the
card as the main event performers
but there seems to be equally as much
interest in the Coye-AtteIl bout. 1t
will be the first time in the history
or the local ring that championship
battle has been staged as a special
event The card will consist of 40
rounds of action in all, provided that
both fights go the limit but the pre-
vaiiing opinion is that they will not.
FIGHTERS IN GOOD TRIM
DR.. Julian Waller. the Mission clubs
physician, visited the four boxers at
their training camps yesterday and
pronounced all of them to be in per-
rect physical trim. AS all save Cove
have been recently engaged in fights.

CARNIVAL OF SPEED

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 1S.-The new
Indiana motor speedway will open to-
morrow with what many expect will be
the greatest automobile meeting ever
held. There will be three days of the
sport. Tonight the largest and most
representative field of racing ma
chimes ever brought together in a
single carnival of speed is ready.
The speedway is a marvel. It has
bank more than so feet wide and two
and a half miles in circumference, with
straightaway course of more than a
mile at the finish.
Oldfeld. Strang. Dewitt De Palma,
Chevrolet. Miller, Ryall. Burman, Nom
sen. Lyttle, Heina, Aitken, Bourque,
Denison and the two amateurs, Arthur
Griener and Edward Harne of Chicago,
are all confident they will add fresh
laurels to their records in the three
days of racing at the new track.

Good Fight Card for the
Bergen Benefit

Aside from the general card of fistic
offerings for August the Bergen benefit
set for next Tuesday night at Dream
land will bring together a bunch of
amateur fighters and professional ex-
hibitions. with many of the sporting
celebrities around town lending their
aid.
{ Billy Jordan has consented to send
the 10 amateur bouts on their way
while Graney. Smith, Roche and Welch
will act as referees. Such professional
fighters as Powell, Frayne, HyIand,
Attell and Cove will be seen in action,
four at a time.
The amateur card is made up of
the fastest boys in the ranks. Dick
Mantell and Louis Hahn will furnish
the semiwindup to a pair of heavies
that are yet to be signed. Already 10
amateur fights have been arranged that
include such boys as Joe Padesto,
Willie Carter, Billie Duncan, Walter
Scott and many others.

about the fight till it is over.
Atten has been doing little or no
boxing for the last few days. He was
well under weight yesterday after
noon and rested most of the day.
Monte has been having a hard time
with his sparring partners for the last
week and he finished without single
one on his staff. He has slowed so
many of them away that none of them
care to take a chance with him.
FRAME Is POPULAR
Frayne seems to come in for much
more admiration than any of the 9TH
ers. Every day brings big crowd
down to MiHett's to look him over.
The little local lightweight has shown
such an amount of class during his
training bouts that he entertained all
the fans better than many fighters
entertain them during real ring bat
tie. This is why he is so popular.
Jack Perkins, who directs the des-
TIMES of Hyland. has bet $500 on his
man at even money. Perkins wanted
to wager some more. but he does not
like the way the odds are going. He is
willing to risk his coin at eVens, but
he does not care about giving away a
point or more. From indications, the
betting will be 10 TO in Hyland' S
favor when Cney enter the TlIlS. L ne
wagering has been very lively for the
last few days.
They are offering even money that
Attell will flatten Cove before the
twentieth round. The little bantam
champion has been beating them all
so regularly of late that he is looked
upon by the local fans to be practically
invincible. Cove's friends are waiting
for the price to drop.
No matter what the result of his
fight with Frayne is, Hyland will take
on Lew Powell before the Butte club
on the afternoon OF Labor day: but. in
order to prove a good drawing card in
the Montana city. Fighting Dick will
have to get a draw, at least, with
Frayne. The latter was ALSO offered a
match with Powell If he wins, but he
passed this up in the hope of getting
a chance at Nelson. He may possibly
be accommodated by the champion. but
not unless he scores a knockout over
Eyland.
The sale OF seats for the fight opened
Wednesday with good results. In ad-
dition to Dillon's and McNamara's s
tickets can be procured at Tom Cor
belts, 1917 Ellis street.
