WHITE HOPES IN
FRONT AGAIN
TONIGHT
Fans Expect Miller and Elder
to Make Fur Fly in Their
Coming Battle

Charley Miller, the veteran four
round heavy weight and once looked
upon as coming white hope, will get
his last chance to redeem himself this
evening at Dreamland, when he starts
against Soldier Elder. These men have
met on two previous occasions. with
honors about even UP, and 1t will be a
case of the survival of the fttest this
time
Despite his recent defeat at the
hands Of Gunboat Smith. the giant
motorman is still regarded by many of
the fans as suitable opponent for
any OF the second rate heavy weights.
He is awkward and clumsy. and at the
same time very game. He has with
stood many a storm during the last
five years and has slowed away nu-
I merous aspiring hopes.
Elder is tall, rangy fellow, built
| somewhat along the lines of the only
Bob Fitzsimmons. He is faster than
Miller and is cleaner hitter, but he
will be at disadvantage. so far as
the weight figures. His friends. how
ever. look for him to step around the
clumsy motorman and bring over the
deciding wallop before the gong
sounds the end of the fourth round.
HOT FIGHT EXPECTED

An interesting lightweight battle
between Lee Johnson. the Oakland
chocolate drop, and Kid Exposito, the
| tough lightweight from the north
west, is also down on the list This

CARROLL STARTS AGAIN
Dude Clark, another 15s poundei
| from the south, Is going to try con-
clusions with Montana Dan Sullivan
| a veteran who used to be regarded
| as one of the best of them at his
weight. Sullivan probably Win out
box Clark, but the latter Is one OF
those rugged, determined fellows
who keeps coming in ell the time. He
has made several good starts here
and In the south.
Sailor Jack Carroll, the heavy
weight who tried TO lick Jack Van
| nuchi the referee and a couple OF
policemen last week. Is back on the
job again. This time they have him
matched with Rufe Cameron. the
giant negro. If Carroll keeps his
| head he Is likely to make good
showing. The negro Is a clever big
fellow, but is rather shy on the wal
1op.
Dick Kendall and Dummy Thomas

| on in q return match and plenty OF
action is expected. as they are ole
| time rivals.
Kid Turner and Paul Pollock light
weights and Mike Kutchos and Pins
Bodie, bantam weights, will square
