his opponents out in short order late
~. During the past month lie has had |
four contests in New York. He won
three of them b. the ''haymalter |
route" He will need to be at mis- pest |
TO win from Tickle. Bobby is a pretty |
husky little chap.
BARLEY Connolly, the Portland pro-
noter, will offer a swell bout to the |
Pine Tree state boxing lovers this |
week He has secured joe Thomas of |
California ana Andrew Morris Of East |
Boston as an attraction. Thomas re- |
Gently made a big hit in Portland when |

gave Porky Flynn all he could handle

Jimmy Gardner OF Lowell and Frank
Klaus Of Pittsburg will clash at the
Armory y. A. at Boston TUESDAY
night This will he the third time
this pair have faced one another They |
met last April in Boston and Klaus |
was awarded the decision at the end |
Of IL rounds. However, there was |
different tale when the Lowell chap |
tackled Klaus the second time. Jimmy
went away and trained faithfully for
three weeks. When he entered the
ring he was in excellent condition
He just piled into Mr.. Klaus and hit
him when and where he wanted TO.
for Tuesday night both boys claim to
be fit. Gardner is the favOrite.
When Maffit Flaherty stopped the
Kid Goodman-k. %. Brown bout, it
was when he realized that Goodman
was not the equal of Brown, and his
act was met with rounds Of applause
from the members. Maffit was some
boxer himself, and afterwards said that
The really was sorry that he had to
stop il, but thought that he was right
in his action, which he certainly was,
as Goodman, besides being outclassed
was not in condition. and but for
Flaherty stopping the contest would
have suffered the first knockout of his
career. 1t takes away a lot of conf
ience TO be knocked out and a boxer
is rarely as good after.
Dan F1ynn's debut before an Eng |
fish audience comes on Wednesdav |
night. when he meets Salinas Jack !
Burns, Californian who has made |
several attempts to break into the |
limelight in the heavyweight brigade |
On the face OF conditions 1t appears |
pretty easy for Flynn. who is about as |
good as any OF those posing today |
