viii return East with the championship
title safely tucked away.
Last Tuesday Kid Williams witnessed
the Young McCoy-Kid Whitten bout in
Baltimore and found time to tell several
OF his old-time cronies that he would
surely trim Coulon. I'll beat Coulon

fifteen rounds a winner
Sam Harris, Williams manager. Is also
confident Of landing the championship
Williams is the greatest bantam-weight
l have ever seen in the ring. ana have
seen all of them" is the way Harris
puts IL. What chance do you think
Coulon will stand to stay twenty rounds
with Williams. Why. the Kid really
outfought Coulon when they met in New
York in ten rounds. and he has improved
since then. His last match with Campi

For the semi-wind up at Ardmore next
Thursday night, Manager Phillips has
booked Mike Uraine. the local middle
weight. for six rounds with a fast boy
from Baltimore. Just who will be matched
with Uraine is not known, although IL is
understood that Young Hermann Miller
has been offered the bout.
Uraine has improved wonderfully since
Ifs Ina IafN
and should be able to put up a good bout
Eext Thursday night.
Young Hermann Miller recently got a
six-round decision over oliver Barrett
the English battler. and is in good con-
dition now. IL he meets Uraine. the local
boy will have to show some clever foot
work to avoid X. o. punch.
Young o'Keefe. the speedy little I24-
pounder Of the Engineer Corps, Is anx-
ious to get a crack at Kid Marshall
before the Ardmore Club in an eight
round go. OKeefe says he can hand
Marshall a trimming. but refuses to
clash with Marshall unless the articles
call for the winner to receive the entire
purse. This bout will more than likely
be staged at Ardmore some time this
summer.
Battling Bernard. of Pittsburgh. blew
into Washington the other day, looking
for a bout at Ardmore. Il will chal-
lenge the winner of the Selman-Diry
match Thursday night. and feel sure that
