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 it will be
case of the survival of the Attest this
time.
Despite his recent defeat at the
hands of Gunboat Smith. the giant
motorman is still regarded by many of
the fans as a 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 storm during the last
five years and has slowed away nu-
! merous aspiring hopes.
Elder ~ q tall. rangy fellow, built
somewhat along the lines of the only
Bob Fitzsimmons. He is faster than
Miller and is q cleaner hitter. but he
will be at a 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
No matter which man wins, 1t looks
as though the fans are going TO get
a good run. Whenever two big hus-
kies like Miller and Elder get together
- ~ Ly<x&I, I,
are aggressive and willing to take a
chance. and the battle will not end in
q punch. either. The betting Is al
even money and take your pick. al
| though they look for Miller to enter
the ring favorite.
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
will mean a scrap between an artful
boxer and a rough and tumble scrap
per, with the odds in favor of the
boxer. although the fighter stands an
excellent chance of winning his own
Norman Stone. the likely lookins
middle weight from Los Angeles. IL
being sent in against Harry Wallace
| This boy Stone looks like the max
| ings of a conner. He Is q bit green
| but he hits hard and can take plenty
| of the gaff. They say that Wallace
| Is an old timer who knows all the
| tricks of the game. but whether hs
can go the route against the young
| ster Is another question.
CARROLL STARTS AGAIN
Dude Clark, another 16s poundel
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 will out
| box Clark, but the latter Is one Of
those rugged, determined fellows
who keeps coming in all the time. Ht
| 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, ths
| giant negro If Carroll keeps his
| head he Is likely to make good
| showing The negro Is clever big
| fellow. but Is rather shy on the wal
| 1op.
| Dick Kendall and Dummy Thomas
the speedy feather weights. are to g
| on In q return match and plenty o.
| action is expected, as they are Ole
/ time rivals.
| Kid Turner and Paul Pollock, light
| weights, and Mike Kutchos and Pint
Bodie, bantam weights. viii squar'
on in the ring warmers.
