HOOLEY IS VICTOR AGAIN BOXING BOUTS OF WEEK
Matty Baldwin Ready TO Enter
Rinu with "K. O." Brown.

Lightweight stars OF the arena, including
most OF the prominent men in the profess
sion, are in New York this week seeking
matches. Matty Baldwin the rugged little
Boston boy. is in tip-top condition for
"Knockout" Brown when the boys meet on
Thursday night. Harry Trendall, a lively
lad from st. Louis, is looking for an oppo-
nent. The Westerner has me, some of the
best boxers in the world. including the
peerless Packey Mcfarland and the cum
ming Freddie Welsh. "One Round" Hogan
has been around town several days. and
owen Moran, Willie Richie and our own
local lads 90 TO make up one OF the most
formidable aggregatons OF 1S3-pound men
which has been in the city since the old
Horton law days.
Chief interest I'm the bouts Of the week
centres around what may well be called an
elimination series Of lghtwelghts. owen
Moran will face Joe Bedell at the Carlyle
Athletic Club. out I'm Ridgewood. tonight,
while Baldwin and Brown cross gloves at
the National Sporting club of America on
Thursday night. The winners OF the two
bouts Will probably be matched, with the
idea OF selecting an opponent for Ad VOL
CAST.
The Baldwin battle means much TO Brown.
The East Side lad has been going none TOO
we'll with high grade men OF late. and hc
has not shown real championship form.
Brown realizes this himself and he Is leav-
ing no stone unturned in his efforts to ap-
pear at his best when he faces Baldwin.
The latter is one OF the best men In the
ring to-day lie Is clever. cool unde. fire, a
fine ring general and hard hitter.
Moran will enter the ring against Bedell
for the first time since he was defeated
by Ad Wolgast in thirteen rounds in San
Francisco. on July g. 1911. The Briton is In
prime condition. however, and IL sure that
his protrscted lsyor Will In no. way affect
his boxing ability.
Moran II the only man who ever knocked
out Battling" Nelson. turning the trick in
eleven rounds. on November o., 1910 Be-
dell IL boxing better to-day than at any
time in his career. and the fact that he
gave Knockout Brown bitter fight and
made Tommy Murphy travel at whlrlwind
speed 10 shade him IN ten-round battles
speaks for itself.
The other bouts I'm which well known
lIghtweights will hold the centre Of the
stage will include that between Leach
Cross and Tommy Maloney at the Olympic
CLUB. OF Harlem, tonight. KID Burns,
the l35-pound bov. will go ont OF his class
to meet Jack Goodman in ten rounds AT
the Fairmont Athletic Club. Of The Bronx,
tomorrow night. Jack Dorman. OF The
Bronx, Will meet Paddy sullivan at the
Irving Club, OF Brooklyn, tonight.
Sam Wallach should worry over the cost
OF living. He has arranged two matches
for brother Phil. The port-sIder will meet
Billy Sherman at the Irving Club on
February q. and on March he will cX.
change courtesies with Cy Smith, OF Ho-
hoken
