A GREAT carnival Of fighting is
~ that arranged by Jack Gilman
tin, manager of the Olympic
Club. for Monday afternoon. Three
~ten-round bouts. in which local boys are
going to take a part, is the program,
and as all are well matched It is likely
to prove the best boxing program-for
real fghting-ever arranged for this
city. In the main go Ben Douglass will
meet Ted Ne-son. the boy who beat
Jimmy Howard, the Chicago fighter, at
the Sharkey Club Wednesday night.
In IA first, Tommy Andreach, the
whirlwind midget scrapper, Of this city.
Will mix it for ten rounds with Battling
Kitty, a New York fighter of many
years experience. In the other, Jumbo
Wells, the Australian, viii go for ten
rounds with Kid Ellie, the Paterson
light-heavy. who has been coming to
the front with a rush lately.
This program was arranged last night
after a series of disappointments to the
management. They intended to have
Patsy Kline meet Tommy O'Toole, the
Philadelphia. in the main bout for

secured. Tommy does not like the ten
round route, and named a prohibitfve
figure. Next a bout was sought be-
tween Willie Beecher and Battling

to Illness in the latter's family, he did
not feel like boxing. He gave his prom

in splendid condition. as was evidenced
by his showing with Howard on
Wednesday. Howard took to continual
clinching in their fight, in order to
escape the blows of Nelson. and a
rather slow fight resulted.

Wells and Ellie were to have fought a
six-round fight for the Olympic at its

A strange thing about this fight is the
championship talk INDUCED in by the
managers Of the men through letters
sent to the papers of Paterson, where
Ellie lives. When comment was made
because of Welis's non-sppearance. his
manager, Billy Newman, sem a chal-

$1,000 on the side.
Files manager. Gus Dunning. of Pat
erson, Immediately came back with an
acceptance, but Newman has net made
good as yet. Dunning and Ellie were
tickled when they heard the match was
made and are confident of a winning.
Tommy A~ndreach, the other local boy
who will meet Battling Kitty. is really
a scrappe of merit. He is unfortunate
in being a paper-weight boxer, but can
go Tx a whirlwind. His sole idea is to
start at the bell and pound away In
every old style until the bell rings
again. In Kitty, though, he win meet
a boy who has come out evenly with
the best of them, and who is regarded
as a ~topnotcher.
