the ten-round route at Maud Junction
Tuesday evening, November 23, and de-
termined to take no chances of being
out of condition, has begun training
for what promises to be one of the
fastest bouts ever staged by the Pacific
Athletic club. on the results of the

championship, a side bet and the dia-
mond-studded gold belt which Pro-
moter McCarey has offered the winner.
Monte will leave San Francisco about
Saturday, reaching Los Angeles Sun

Harry Foley who is looking after the
interests of Monte Attell, has another
promising lad in frankie Burns, and 1t
is probable that he will bring him to
Los Angeles when he comes down with
Monte. Burns fights at 12S pounds and

Meanwhile plans are being laid for
staging what never fails to prove a
drawing card-a mill between two fast
and game heavyweights. Joe Willis
