BOXING OUTLOOK IS
THE SOUTH IS
PROMISING
Andrews Says Regular Cir
cults May Be Formed
by Good Towns
(By It. S. Andrews)

Memphis. Tenn, Sept. 16.-The out
look for the boxing gone in the
south is encouraging and if it is
handled properly there is no reason
why it should not flourish The
proposition to form a regular circuit
the same as the vaudeville people
have, meets with favor, but the hitch
is in getting all the clubs to work in
the game. The plan to bring New
Orleans, Memphis. Indianapolis and
Milwaukee into one circuit is progress
sing fine and all the clubs are ready
to work together except Memphis, the
drawback here being the lack of
suitable clubhouse.
Boxing is legalized in this state as
in New York and If 4 gooe club is
established there is no doubt about
its success, for the way the people
turn out for mediocre contests shows
how fond they are or the sport Then
by working in with the clubs at I'LL
waukee, Indianapolis and New Orleans
better attraction would be assured.
New Orleans Busy.
The New Orleans boxing clubs are
ing from the interest taken by the
fans in the Crescent City the con-
tests will be well attended during the
winter season The Orleans A. c. and
the Westside A. c. have arranged
some very good appearing bouts and
the first following the McGoorty-
Dillon contest, which was a dis
appointment owing to Dillon having q
sore arm, viii bring Monte Attell
and Tommy Dixon together at 121
pounds. Attell conceding few
pounds in order to get the match.
Abe's place for the time being in the
elimination contests Monte says Abe
Will not pox for a few months as he is
earning easy money doing monolog
on the vaudeville circuit
The Westslde club is figuring on
matching Cyclone Johnny Thompson
and Wild Bob Moha for September
"a. They are to go over the marathon
route, which they both prefer. 1t is
likely that Moha viii first be matched
for 10 rounds in order to give the
New Orleans fans a chance to size
him up.
Mexican VIII BE In Bout.
Efforts are bling made to bring Jack
White, of Chicago. and Battling
Schultz, of Toledo, together. They
but White was matched and asked
later date. Joe Rivers, the sensa-
tional Mexican of Los Angeles. will
also figure in one or the bouts. but
the fact that he lost in such a whirl-
wind battle to Johnny Kilgane Labor
day viii not injure his drawing pow
ers much Young Saylor. Of Indian
apolis and Sammy Trott, of Column
bus, Ohio, are also down for future
bouts.
1t is probable that the French cham
pion middle weight, Marcel Moreau.
be brought to this country for the ex-
press purpose of entering the tour
ney at New Orleans. Moreau had
been matched with Billy Papke in
Paris last June. but Billy wanted to
return home and called off the match.
Izxo and New Orleans Mosquitoes.
Angelo Izzo. the Milwaukee italian
champion lightweight, is making New
Orleans his home for the time being
and may remain all winter. Angelo
never had much experience with mos
quitos in the northern country. but
he knows all about them now. When
he arrived in New Orleans couple OF
weeks ago he secured a room next to
Harry stout's boarding house and re- e.
tired early. He was told the netting
above the bed was to keep the mos
quitoS off him. The next morning
Angelo appeared at the club head
quarters and looked well rested. but
he kept rubbing his feet and limbs
Have a good rest?" queried Harry
Stout
Zine" said Angelo. but the mos
quitos were bad"
Mosquitoes bad" said Stout why
didn't you put the netting over your
Sure" said Angelo. IT put the net
ting over my head and they never
touched my face, but they made up for
IL by biting me to pieces about the
body and feet"
