MALONEY PRAISESTHE B0ER
Morgan Dickers with Monahan,
0netime Sparring Part
ner of Johnson.

George Rodel. the Boer heavyweight
who recently came 10 this county. will
box his first bout in an American ring
when he faces Art Nelson. OF Wisconsin,
IN ten-round battle at the Fairnont
Athletic club of The Bronx. tonight
Much interest centres about the meeting,
for Nelson hah made great impression
on the New York boxing enthusiasts. not
forgetting the men nc boxed. and Rodel IS
rated as one of the most formidable men
in Europe, despite the fact that Bonn
barber" Wells polished him off in jig
time in contest at the National Sporting
Club. of London.
Little need be said OF Nelson. for he is
well known TO the fans here. lie is a
cool. clever boxer. "A slashng fighter and
Furnishing hitter. None of his opponents
has lasted the limit with him i'm his APP
pcarances at the local clubs.
Rodcl. on the word Of Jem Maloney.
manager OF "Bombardier" sWeIls, is
tough proposition. lie said: "Of course,
George is not Il match for "A man like
Wells. but he il sufficiently rugged and
clever to make il hot for lot of these
fellows. He is big and powerful. can hit
hard and for man of his physique
moves about rapidly. II would not sur
PRISE me If he gave any man in his own
particular class hard fight all the way.
When he did manage TO land on Wells ~
that bout there was enough force in his
punches 10 make Billy respect his
strength. If not his ability. He whipped
some fair men in England.
There is no stopping Danny Morgan
the man Of a few words. He is now dick
erlEg with Walter Monahan, heavy
weight boxer. who At one time acted "a
sparrins partner for Jack Johnson. Mon
ahan is dig. husky chap tipping the
beam at no pounds. From working with
the hig negro champion for nearly two
years Monahan has picked up many %
the finer points OF the game and AT pre-
ent is rated as one OF the most promising
men In the West. According 10 Morgan
Monahan could wade right through the
TANKS Of the heavyweiShts I'm the East and
never turn = hair. Danny Is also making
an effort 10 secure one Bull Young,
mite Of only 80 pounds.
Despite the fact that Brown was 20 de-
cisivcly defeated by Joe Rivers. he stands
more than an even chance OF getting an
other match out I'm Los Angeles. Tom
McCarcy has offered him date In May
10 meet Bud" Anderson the oregon
boxer. and Morgan will probably accept.
With the modosty OF the truly great
Luther McCarty announces that he fears
he would half Kill Jesse willard If he
ever met him I'm ring battle again.
McCarty says. however that before he
viii consent 20 meet Willard In q return
battle the latter must 60 out and beat
several men Of recognized ability. Nc
Carly evidently remembers one night IN
Madison Square Garden when he was for
,lnato TO earn draw with Willard after
ten hard rounds OF boxing \ burned
child breads fire.
Up to GATE Johnny kilbanc has not re-
piled 10 tine challenge Of Patsy Kline. the
Newark feathcfvcight Kline has offered
10 guarantee kiibauc q purse OF s. 20
To- meet him in = tcn-round contest, but
the Forest City boxer has not seen his
way clear L. sign the articles and clinch
the bout There are many who believe
kilbanc is not particularly anxious 20
meet Patsy. for the latter almost fnockcd
him out in that bout in Los Angeles al
most two years ago.
