Chief Chef Hancock of the Pacific
Athletic club has prepared a delectable
seven-course banquet for the epicures
of the fight game which will be served
in style tonight at Maud Junction, and
when the time for Homecoming arrives
1t is expected that the entire gathering
will have had their fill. There are no
pretensions made to an elaborate, dress
parade, $100-a-plate affair; it lis merely
the serving up in attractive style of
home products, and in it's homely way
the affair should be something of
success. The proof, says the old New
England cook, of the pudding is in the
eating, and when eight bells toll the
fans will have an opportunity to sample
the spread.
Getting down to cases and leaving the
flights of fancy cookery to more eX-
perienced artisan in the intricacies of
the profession, the Pacific will stage
seven short bouts which promise deal
Of fighting in their brief limits. For the
first time in many months a card has
been arranged in which there is no real
main event, and therefore each fighter
may consider himself one of the seven
main eVenters. In times to come prob
ably more than one of these, after the
Unholz style, will in strange lands point
out the fact that he fought main
event DtlOIt 1CIl1 AlC0dI6Sy anu Will
have the dope to show for it, all bound
and neatly arranged in alphabetical
and chronological order, as did the
Boer. But that is not in their thoughts
at present. Each boy has promised to
do his best in order to obtain further
opportunities to fill the home larder,
and it is a pretty safe conclusion that
with only a short distance to go the
lads will do little loafing. Two of them
have been warned to cut out all fancy
work and show a little flash of fighting
spirit or never ask for another match
at Maud. The others are willing, and
two or three are actually ambitious to
make a record.
Sullivan Up Again
frankie Sullivan and Johnny Hugo
are down for the windaup of the even
ing. Sullivan is the boy who took
such lacing last month from Mar
tin Hefron. He claimed then that he
was not right-an old story-and says
he will show the fans this time by his
speedy victory that he can whip Mar
tin To do this he will have to make
quick work of Hugo. SulliVans stiff
wallop is enough to earn him con-
siderable respect among the young
sters of the humber divisions, but
Hugo has told his friends that he will
carry the battle to the race track
they fulfill their stories the mill will
be a hot one, with either man liable
to drop before the sixth round is
checked up.
Steeple Jack Martin, who is
reunited to have the punch of the rear
hoof on an angry kangaroo concealed
up his sleeve, will clash with Willie
Mack in the six-round semi-windup of
the program If Steeple lives up to
his reputation he will for once make
Willie lad do all the fighting he can
crowd into the eighteen minutes or
quit cold. AS Mack is not gutter,
being merely averse to putting up too
active an exhibition, the youngsters
NAV be expected to set a stiff pace.
Mike Kutchos and Young Togo will
appear in the second of the siX-round
contests. Young Togo can and will
fight all the time, and as long as he
can stagger around the ring. AS for
Michael-it is more charitable to re-
serve Judgment until after his work to-
night. Kid Barnes and Herb White
will step the first siX-round set. From
performances White will have
his hands full and as neither knows
ANYTHING else but smuggling it will not
be hard to index this battle as to the
kind of milling to be looked for. Among |
the four-rounders, Roy Rogers and |
Kid Myers have the place of honor, |
last in the list, and probably deserve |
II as this bout ought to bring out
some mixing. Norman Stone will dis |
pute with Harry Housler, newcomer
among the beginners for the same dis
lance, and the opening battle VIII be
between Kid Bait and Young Earn.
