Boxing Show at City Hall.

that two of the best lightweights IN she
country will appear in the ring and II
will be most surprising if a cro"oe'
house is not on hand when the gong
rings for action.
The bout between Ollie kalloch,
known as the gentleman boxer ana
Young Milliken of Gardiner is proving
a great card. Hundreds of kallach $
friends are coming down to cheer MIN
on to victory. while Gardiner can be
depended upon to send up fully as
many supporters to encourage their
representative.
These boys will weigh about 40
pounds each. both are perfectly trained
athletes and prepared to go the hot
test kind Of clip for the full distance.
The show as a whole should prove
one Of the best ever seen in Maine.
Marvin Hart got s2100 for being de-
feated by Carl Morris.
Just wait until Sullivan and Flynn
meet again 1t sure will be some scrap
and there will be no dispute as to the
winner.
Abe Attell will mix it with Billy AL
len, the Canadian featherweight cham
pion, Jan. 23, at Syracuse. n. Y. No
decision.
Kid Ross of New York knocked out
round of a 20-round contest Monday
night at Cheyenne, Wyo. The men are

Two 10-round bouts in the light
weight class were fought Monday night
near Cleveland, Ohio. Paul kohler of
Cleveland won the decision over
frankie Madden of New York. Joe
Phillips of Providence and Paul Sykora
of Detroit fought to draw.
There are some big matches sched-
uled for New York during the present
month. Beginning with Digger Stan
ley and frankie Burns Jan. IS. the
Gotham fans will sit up and take no.
tice of Packey Mcfarland and Jack
Goodman on Jan. II. Then. on Jan. 25,
Knockout Brown and Tommy Murphy
meet.
If the aspirations and promises of
boxers hold good, welterweights and
middleweights should be very much in
the foreground for fight fans in the i'm
mediate future. And if Wolgast and
Moran do not blow their heads off
passing things to each other there
may be chance to see something do
ing among the lightweights.
"Ruck' Grouse of Pittsburg and
Paddy LAWN of Buffalo fought l.
rounds at Akron, O.. Monday after
noon to draw. LAWN had shade

Sammy Kellar the young English
bantamweight boxer, began the new
year auspicously by a victory Monday
afternoon, fairly smothering young Joe
Shugre in a 10-round bout at the
Olympic A c. In the words of a
habitue, young Shugre "never was III
it." Kellar had the better of his ad-
versary in eight of the 10 rounds, and
the best Shugre could do was to even
up the other two rounds, the fourth
and the eighth.
Joe Woodman, manager of Sam
Langford Monday received a cable
message from Promoter Mcintosh, who
is in England asking Woodman to sail
at once for England with Langford
and Porky Flynn. The promoter wants

meet deannette and Ferguson at the
Armory A. c.

year and since the favorable boxing
laws were passed legalizing eight
round bouts in Tennessee. all efforts OF
pull off the usual weekly matches al
Memphis were abandon Monday. Club
officials say the game will be revived
with match between Johnnie Coulon
and Johnny DAILY, Patsy Bannigan or
Kid Murphy. Jan. II. Local promoters
say the heavyweights, Barry and Ross,
by sfalling, ruined the game tempora-
rily.
