GETS HIS CHANCE
AGAINST MARIO
Mistake of Opponents Seconds
Gives Victory to Harry
Lewis.

cyclone, and Johnny Mario have
the centre of the fistic stage to-
night. They are to meet in the star
bout at Tom O'Rourke's National Club,
ard. Judging by the reputation knight
brings out of the West with him. the
elite who attend the National show
should see a scrap of the hair-raising
variety. Knight Is a slugger, with
little of the fancy stuff In his style,
and Mario fights along the same line.
This is Just the reason O'Rourke
matched them. He figures with two
head-on collision artists in the ring
the best bout of the season will result.
Tonight will show just where knight
fits. If he can beat Mario decisively,
something no one else has accom-
plished, he will find lots doing for him
in the New York clubs.
Harry Lewis, the American welter-
weight, won last night from Blink
McCloskey in what was scheduled to
be a ffteen-round fight. McCloskey
abandoned the contest after the third
round as the result of a curious ac-
cident, his second throwing ammonia
instead of water in his face, which
temporarily destroyed the sight of his
only eye.
Young Otto, of New York, so far out
classed Eddie Weber, of Indianapolis

floor, but he managed to stagger to his
feet. The police then. interfered. The
New York fighter was unmarked.

met such boys as Tony Bender and
others, VIII clash with Walter Hen
messy.
Perky Flynn, of Boston, gave Jack
Burns, the California heavyweight, a
terrific beating in a 20-round hout at
the Olympia A. G., London, last night.

match for the man from Boston. The
bell saved Burns at least ten times.
