HOGAN AVID GALLANT
ARE ON EVEN TERMS
Fans Equally Divided in
Opinion as to Friday
Nights Victor.

With the big twenty-round boxing con-
test between Gilbert Gallant. the sensa-
tional eastern lightweight, and "One
Round" Hogan two days away, the fans
are talking of nothing else. and a group
of them may be seen on street corners
at almost any time of the day discussing
the merits OF the two men. Each boy
has about an equal number OF supporters,
and the peculiar part of II all is that the
partisans Of each are Of the opinion
that their man is a cinch. while the 9TH
ers are as certain that their man is a
sure winner
AS a general rule. where the opinions
differ as to the merits Of boxers. there
are generally a great many who are on
the fence and undecided which ones
chances they Ike. but In this case there
is no halfway feeling about it.
Hogan worked out at the central fire
station yesterday afternoon and gave the
fans their first real chance to get line
on him. He boxed with Harry Shaffer
for three rounds, and his most ardent
admirers were egreeably surprised at his
condition and the manner In which he
went through his work. He toyed with
the bag for three rounds and skipped the
rope for three rounds and then donned
the gloves and Shaffer was glad when
time for the last round was called.
Hogan started out nice and easy. but as
he got warmed up 10 his work gloves
seemed 10 be coming from every direo-
ton for Shaffer, and they weren't COM
ing very slow, either.
