KTEWARK fans are assured Of a
long bill of boxing tonight at the

KYEwARK JAMS are assured of a
IN long bill of boxing tonight at the
second show of the Club Ven
dome, which will be held in the New
Auditorium in Orange street. Billy
Leary, the husky Gladstone welter-
weight, and Young Wiidfang, the local
cyclone, are down for the main bout.
These are two boys with a knockout
in either hand.
Leary and Wildfang are both in con
dition and each is confident. Leary Is
willing and aggressive and is a great
mixer and a great man under fire. He
hasn't had a hard fight In nearly a
month, and has been preparing for this
bout at the Woodlawn Inn colony,
New York. where he has been acting
as sparring partner for Abe Attell. IN
this way he has picked up a lot Of
knowledge from Attell, who is one OF
the craftiest men in the business.
Leary is a prime favorite along the
Lackawanna road through the Oranges,
Millburn, Summit and Gladstone, and
delegations from those places are COM
ing down to see the fight. 1t will also
mark his debut before the Newark
public. and there is much interest to
see him work.
Wildfang, approaching the fact that
this bout means much to him, has been
specially diligent in his training, and
according to Tom Messenger, his man
ager, he Is in the best possible con-
dition. Wildfang, a diamond in the
rough when he first came to, this city
from Canada, has made good in the
game with a vengeance. This is es-
pecially true since he came under the
care of Messenger, who is a veteran
handler. For the last three months
Wildfang has taken part in some great
battles, and with the exception of the
recent bout with Danny Savage. has
either won by a knockout or earned the
decision. Savage outboxed him, but
Wildfang, first and all the time a slug
ger, will make a much better showing
against Leary, who fights after the
same style.
Another pair Of hard-hitting youths
are matched for the semi- final. They
are Eddie Dowd, of Jersey City, and
Young Roeber, of New York. They are
nursing a particularly keen rivalry, and
as this Is their initial battle In this
city, both are anxious to leave a IA
vorable impression, and there will be
something doing every minute of the
time they are in the ring. Then to
round out the boxing program the
management has secured about ten
first-class boys, who will be paired off
in five boutes that are expected to show
a line of tabasco. The field comprises
Newark, New York. Elizabeth and Pat
erson boxers, and Manager volgt prom
ises a surprise for the club members
and guests.
The same careful attention to detail
that marked the opening show will be
the rule tonight. Improved lighting ar
rangements have been made over the
ring to make the action of the men
stand out in clear relief when the other
lights are turned down. Charley White
will be there to referee and Fred Burns
will
As special events. Young Oleson, of
Brooklyn. n Joe Caprio, of Danbury,
will wrestle fifteen minutes, while Billy
Glover, of Jersey City, and Jack Ell
hot, of New York, will do a feature
stunt, which will add variety to the
chow and prove highly entertaining.
The doors Will open at 1880 o'clock and
he show will begin about an hour
afterwards.
