 MATCH TONIGHT
Both Boxers Sanguine = Each Down to Weight and in Pink of Condition Fans Here Favor Both to Win the Contest

If Frankie Gage is loser of to- nights ten round sparring exhibition with Kid Dalton of Los Angeles, the
 latter, piloted by Smiling Bill Huddy of the Columbia Athletic club will start whirlwind campaign cham piOnward. Red" Watson, who was once known as Red Corbet will be
 the next victim of the conner, and after him, AzvedO
 What tOnights match will show
 must needs remain in the box of
 chance. It is certain, however, that
 there will be a contest from the ring
 of the first bell until time or chance
 ends the bout It is necessary to
 the successful consummation of
 Huddy's business that Dalton put
 Gage behind him with a wreath of
 roses about his brow And it is
 equally to Cages interest fy lick
 Dalton. Gage has put Dalton toes
 up, and once drew with him, but
 that's no sign he can do either again.
 Then on the other hand, or so Huddy
 says, Dalton was on the fritz when
 Gage slipped the K o. sign up at
 the front door. So arguing that Kid
 Dalton is now in the primest of con-
 dition, it will be some fast contest.
 The best way to dope the contest
 is about this: Gage will have the bulge as far as speed goes. and Dal- ton will be the stronger. Cages fight will be scientific. It will be DaltOn's game to tear the entire arena up with the beIabored carcass of his man. But Dalton will also be fast. That is his chief reason for being here. He is to demonstrate that he is not merely a fighter but a ring general that he is spending good money and several days in Phoenix to meet Gage
 By all the street indications there will be a lot of interest in the com ing bout. This will be the first real opportunity the members of the Phoenix Athletic club have had to witness a pure scientific exhibition of the fight craft It will be an op- portunity that mighty few of the members will miss There is a cer tain amount of betting going on this bout, with neither boy favored, but all the money down on straight to win agreements. This is always a good sign that the alert public is ex- pecting a good go for it's money.
 The Phoenix public is strong for good exhibitions. but has never learn 1 ed to like gentle boxing There is | certain amount of the Roman popu- lace character here, and it thirsts | for fighting rather than sparring. 1 The necessity of both boys to win l means that this craving will be well l satisfied. while their position in the second division of the lightweight di- 1 vision secures a good fast showing 1 of the more scientific side of the 1 game.
 At precisely three this afternoon, l the two lightWeights will step upon | set of carefully adjusted scales in the ] private office of George Memsic, pro noter of the bout. There is no doubt l of either making 133 pounds. for both have been down close to the limit for l several days. In fact, Dalton says | he could make 12S if he absolutely i had to. and Gage is equally confi- | dent of his powers.
 Memsic will officiate as referee. l He will give instructions before the | fight to this effect. that the rules | are to be straight Marquis of l and that the boxers are l to protect themselves at all times. 1 Only in case one fighter is so held he cannot punish will the referee interfere to break the clinch. !
 fast set of preliminaries will start the evenings entertainment The first will be argued by Jack Williams and Kid Stewart. The sec ond is to be staged by Young Bill Rivers and Kid Lango of the raven locks and the third is surprise be- tween unknown contestants.
