TWO CLEVER LITTLE BOXERS WHO
WILL GO 10 ROUNDS MONDAY NIGH
hid" Bell and Mickey 0'Brien
VIII Meet in Six Round
Preliminary

Jimmie Reagan, x-bantamweight
champion of the world, and .'Chalky'
Gcrmain the clever and hard Uniting
hoy from st. Louis, who meet i'll a ten
round boxing contest at the Colonial
tbeatcr tomorrow night, look to be the
most evenly matched and well trained
pair Of bows that have been seen in
contest of this kind in many days. :.
Both bows arc down to weight aud
have practically finished hard Training.
In their work Yesterday afternoon they
showed all kinds of class and apparently
were ready to go any distance They
seemed anxious for the time to come
when thev will try to determine who
is the better boy.
AS betting proposition the bout
looks like even money and take your
pick. Several wagers have been made
on the outcome and even money pre-
walls. although there is probably more
German money III sight. as he is we'll
known and very popular among the
sporting mon who bet their money on
these affairs.
Rov Shumway. the Ogden boxing pro
moter. sent down word from the juno
tion city Yesterday that there would be
big delegation over from Ogden to
soc the bout and that they were bet
ting even money over there that Rea
gan would win and that they had a
little moro to wager the same way.
GerInaiu wound up his last hard work
Yesterday with whiriwipd four rounds
with Peter Jcusen, the Battling
! Dane, - and the WAY he tore into the
tough lightweight convinced those pres
ent that if Reagan carries the milling
to Gcrmain. as he usually does, Reagan
will meet boy who is ready and will
ling to mix matters with him and who
is equally as strong aud rugged.
Reagan also put in q rather hard
f" Mickey O'Brien. and from now on
will only do enough work to keep down
to weight. as he tipped the scales AT
half.pouud under the required weight
Mickey, o'Brien, who meets
"Kid' Bell in the six-round semi
wiudup, have both been training as
hard as the principals III. the nam
event and will probably give the fans
as classy bout as they could wish TO
see.
The local fans all know that when
| Bell is in condition aud is willing to
do his best, he is as good as any man
in the country. and be has been begging
for chance to show the fans that he
is in condition and will GO the SIX
rounds at top speed.
| In - Mickey " Bflen ne-mcetS poN
little heavier and one who comes here
with all kinds of good recommendations
| to show that he is the real goods. Iu
fact, he has met such men as Maurice
Thompson OF Butte twice and got a
draw each time, although he gave away
several pounds of weight. He has. also
beaten Young Mooney of Butte, who is
considered a good boy on the coast.
There will also be fourround cur
tain raiser TO round out the card.
Promoter Downing will take Germain
and Reagan to two physicians today
I and have them examined, so that the
I fans will know in Just what condition
the boys are. The preliminary boys
will also he examined at the ringslde.
The seat sale opened at the Colonial
! box office yesterday, and from the
brisk demand for choice seats the boys
are looking forward to record-break'
ling house.
