DALTON-PICATO
IS MAIN EVENT
M'CAREY MATCHES COMERS IN
HIS FEATURE
ARRANGES ATTRACTIVE CARD
FOR TUESDAY NIGHT
Jack Burns, Who Stopped Battling
johnson in Less Than Two Rounds,
Makes Local Bow in Scrap
with Jim Cameron

Forty rounds of boxing at popular
prices viii be the Offering Of the Pa
cific Athletic club for next Tuesday
evening and the fans were SO highly
entertained at last weeks show that
they have their appetites whetted up
for more of the same kind and Match
maker Hancock promises that they will
not be disappointed.
The windup for the evening will be
the ten-rOund contest between Frank
Picato and Charles (Kid) Dalton. These
boys are very evenly matched and
e1ch has the aggressive style SO well
liked by the patrons Of the sport in this
city. Picato has drawn circles all
around the fighters he has met 50 far
and his im~rovement has been noted in
each succeeding contest. In going
against a tough boy like Dalton he
will have his hands full but he is de-
sirous of showing the fans that he also
has class and he will not be at all back
ward when he steps into the ring.
The other ten-session affair will be
between Jack Burns and Jim Cameron.
Cameron has not been taken seriously
yet by the fans, but the dusky heavy
weights steady Improvement has
brought him forward as a likely fighter
and his real tryOut with Burns will be
watched with interest by the patrons
of the game. If he should happen to
cop Burns in the coming mill, it would
lead up to a contest between him and
Rolph Galloway, who beat Battling
Johnson recently at San Pedro, stopping
the Russian in three rounds.
Burns is not at all worried, however,
over the tales about Camerosn and he
is training along in an easy manner at
"rnOn and will be in shape by Tues
Cay evening. -e is going on with Cam
erOn just to convince the fans that he
is the goods" and if he whips the
dusky fighter he will be matched by
Manager McCarey with some one
higher up the scale, Burns ultimate
object being to get a contest with Al
Kaufman, who has won all of his
b~ttles except the one in his early days
with Jack O'Brien.
Two of the four-rOund matches were
arranged yesterday. Chester Moss, who
knocked out Kid Hamilton last Tues
day evening, will go on with Dan Gull
len. The boys will weigh about 126
pounds and as Cullen has shown well
in practice the bout should be a hum
mer.
Jim Andrews and Frank Nelson are
the second pair who have been select
ed to don the gloves over the short
route. Nelson has been trying to get
a match ever since he came from Chi
cagO and he is willing to take on All
drews for four rounds to make his
bow before the fans The boys will
weigh about las pounds.
