AWAITING GONG
Victor and GradWell Will Settle
Supremacy at Browns
Tonight.
CARDELL BEATS M'REA


Carl Victor and Young Gradwell
will meet tonight to settle the dispute
which has been hanging fire between
the lads for the past year. The bout
is scheduled to go ten rounds, and
the scene of battle will be Browns
Gymnasium, in New York. Both are
claimants for the lightweight title OF
the state, and each is equally conf
dent Of gaining victory. Victor is
clever and has a fairly good punch.
Gradwell has the terrific wallop, and
is fairly clever. Preliminary bouts
will precede the main event.
Young Cardell's great finish earned
him a victory over Young McCrea, of
this city, in the main bout of four
rounds at the Central Institute last
night. 1t was a pretty even affair
until the final round, both boys adj
ministering good punches as well as
displaying clever tactics. Cardeli
started the final inning with straight
left jabs, and repeatedly made his
opponent miss. McCrea accidentally
butted Cardell over the left eye in
the first round, but the latter was in
no bad way, and he continued to VIC
tory. He had McCrea hanging on
when the bell rang. Another round
would have probably finished Mac,
although the latter was game. Car
dell will box Young Rector, of Jersey
City, in ten-round bout at the
Brown A. c., New York, Saturday
night. Young Diamond had the shade
over frankie Sanders, of Elizabeth.
Willie Baker, of Elizabeth, earned a
victory over Battling frankie, of this
city. Kid Karl was too clever for Kid
Ross, and the latter lasted a round
and a half, the referee hating the
bout. Young Lordi, of this city,
| trounced Young Crotty, of Bayonne.
| The bout between Phil Lewis, brother
of Bill Lewis. and Kid Alec was
stopped In the second round, the
former winning in good fashion.
Young Telesco forced young Gennard
| to quit in the first round.
Matty Baldwin and Knockout
Brown will meet for third time at
the Atlas A. A, Boston, tonight.
| Baldwin defeated K. o. In Boston and
| in New York in previous bouts and is
again a favorite.
Eddie Jackson would like to meet
| Carl Victor in return bout. Jackson
will be at Browns tonight to chal-
lenge the winner of the Victor-Grad-
well bout.
Young Donley, the promising local
boxer, would like to face Kid Karl.
A match between these lads would be
just the thing at Troxler's. Both are
clever.
Sam Wallach. brother and manager
of Leach Cross. is today wearing
smile a. foot broad. Harry Foley,
manager of Willie Richie, refused
yesterday to claim the $1,000 forfeit
that has been posted by the Cross in
terests for weight and appearance in
the ten-round bout which was to have
been held at Madison Square Garden
tomorrow night.
Sam Langford. of Boston, the negro
heavyweight, yesterday defeated
Jack Lester. Of Gle Elum, Wash, in a
boxing bout scheduled for twenty
rounds at Taft. Cal. When the gong
rang for the fifth round Lester was
still so groggy that he did not arise
from his chair. and the referee gave
the fight to Langford.
On account of the postponement of
the Ritchie-Cross bout this week, the
Atlantic Garden A. c., New York,
has decided to stage a heavyweight
bout on Friday night, bringing to-
gether Gunboat Smith and Charley
Miller. the California heavyweight.
Young Leonard, of Wilkesbarre,
last night fought ten hard rounds to
a. draw with Tommy Corners, of
Scranton. at Wilkesbarre. At the end
of ten rounds both boys were tired
and honors were evenly divided.

weight champion, who is now under
the management of James Buckley,
was matched yesterday to box ten
rounds with George Rodel, the Boer,

rounds.
Mike Gibbons, who is working East.
will pick up 1000 for boxing ten
rounds with Kid Wagner, third-rate
middleweight. in Whkesbarre Thurs
day night. Gibbons says $1,000 is not
to be sneezed at, no matter what kind
of dub he is asked to subdue.
Jim Buckley offers to bet So. 500 that
Carl Morris cannot knock Gunboat
Smith down in a ten-round contest,
and he will add $500 every time Morris
knocks down Gunboat within the ten
rounds.

Morgan for X. o. Brown, the proposed
bout between the latter and Willie
Beecher, scheduled for November 4,
has been declared off. as the clubs
would not pay Browns price.
