LIKELY BOXERS AT WORK
Good Bouts Promised at Clubs
This Week.

The gymnasium OF the new West Side
Athletic Club in 54th street, between
Eighth and Ninth avenues, sees stirring
action these late winter afternoons. No
fewer than dozen boxers are in training
there, including Billy Beckman, who Is
undisputed middleweight amateur cham
pion, and Jack Dennlng who hopes one
day to wear the middlewelght crown
among the professionals.
Johnny Dundee, the sturdy little
featherweight, who expects to eliminate
the men Of his class in the coming tour
nament and by so doing gain match
with Johnny Kilbane, also is working at
the West side club, along with Willie and
Tommy Houck, the Philadelphia feather
weights Jimmy Facine, Jack Carter and
a half dozen lesser lights.
Two bouts Of the week stand out over
the programme which will go to make up
a busy time for the boxing fans At the
Empire Club on Wednesday Carl Morris,
the Oklahoma boxer. and Jim Stewart will
meet in a ten-round bout. The men met
before in battle at the Carlyle Club, OF
Ridgewood, and after one Of the greatest
and most sensational engagements ever
seen between big men Morris won by
shade. Next in importance will be the
bout between wild" Bob Moha, Of Mil
