BOXING BOUTS OF WEEK
Two Well Known Clubs to Re.
open Their Doors.
KLINE AT THE FAIRMONT
Will Meet Kirkwood To- morrow
Donovan and Corbett on
Olympic Gard.

Boxing is once more looking up, after
summer which was to say the least dull.
and to some promoters improbable. The
clubs which closed their doors during the
sultry months are reopening. Madison
Square Garden and the St. Nicholas Ath.
letic Club, which exercised practically
monopoly Of the sport a few months ago,
have suspended operations for the tine
being, but what the fans" have lost by
this they have more than made up in the
reopening OF the Fairmont A. c., Billy
Gibson's club in The Bronx, and the old
Olympic Club, of Harlem, which will! hold
bouts this week.
At the Fairmont A. C. on Wednesday
night Patsy Kline the Newark feather
weight, who is rated by many as a ft
rival for Kilbane and the other top notch
men Of his class, will meet the sensational
Westerner, George Kirkwood, OF ST.
Louis, who has boxed his way through
the ranks Of the local boys in remarkable
fashion, and who now sees a chance to
fight Johnny Kilbane for the title. Kline
has already boxed the Cleveland cham.
pion, and came within an ace OF winning
by a knockout, but Kilbane rallied TO win
on points. Tom McCarey, the veteran
promoter OF Los Angeles, has promised
the winner Of Wednesdays bout TWEEN.
ty-round contest with Kilbane, and with
that offer in mind the boys will perform
at top speed from first to last.
The Mcmahon brothers, managers OF
the Olympic A. c., Of Harlem, will be
prominent factors In the local boxing
circle this week, as they have in the past.
The old quarters Of the club have been
renovated.
Young Mike" Donovan, son of the one
time middleweight champion Of America,
and looked upon by many as a coming
champion, will face a rugged lad in
Harry Corbett, the fast fighting welter-
weight Of Brooklyn. DOnovan's career
thus far has been meteoric He has boxed
in eight bouts and has not only won them.
but none of his opponents ever lasted the
limit His most noteworthy achievement
was the defeat of kid" Alberts, Of
Brooklyn, in seven rounds, making him
quit with left hook TO the body. Dono-
van is in every detail the replica OF his
famous father, and the keenest judges OF
pugillstic ability predict that some day
he will be champion Of all the middle
weights He IS only nineteen years old
and weighs 1i3 pounds now, but is grow
ing so rapidly that II is question Of only
a few months until he will be forced 70
box heavier men.
Johnny Lore, the West Side lad, whose
victories over Knockout Brown and Al
Ketchen made him famous in a week,
will meet a Stiff proposition on Thursday
night when he faces Young Kelley in
a ten-round contest at the Forty-fourth
Street Sporting Club. Kelley IS clever
boxer. and has shown in recent bouts
that he carries a hard wallop in his
right hand. He lacks the stamina OK
Lore. however, and IL is a question in the
minds Of many If his science viii be sum-
cient to offset the rugged strength and
hitting power OF Curley's champion. In
addition to the meeting OF Lore and
Kelley. there will be ten-round contest
between Pal Moore, the philadelphia
Phantom" and Harry Thomas, the
elusive English lad. who so dec!aiyely
outpointed Abe Attell not long ago.
