Rather than disappoint the Washing
ton fans who had counted upon going
To- Ardmore tomorrow night, the man.
agement has replaced Shankey Gardner,
who injured his hand in training. with
Mike Uraine, the clever welterweight,
who calls the Capital his home, and
Soldier Mcguire will meet Uraine to-
morrow at scheduled time. In many
ways this battle should be even better
than that originally planned. for
Uraine's cleverness should stand him IN
good stead when opposed to the rushing
tactics of the lad from the Engineer
Corps.
Uraine and Mcguire will travel twen-
ty rounds, and there should be action
in every session. Mcguire is said to
be q hitter with either hand He will
md in Mike Uralne an opponent who
can feint with the best of them, draw
ing the foe into bad leads, and who can
sting with either hand. Where Gard

skill of a high order. opposing shift
ness to McGuire's ruggedness.
I'm sorry Gardner couldn't get into
shape in time for this bout" said Nc
CURE, when asked If he cared to. go
on with Uraine, but l don't care who
they select for me. so long as he doesn't t
weigh a ton. Uraine may be clever and
last, but the bigger they are the harder
they fall, and the faster they are the
quicker. If he happens to stop one of
my wallops, he'll so to the mat just
as well as Gardner. I'm willing to meet
anybody. so long as he doesn't weigh
too much"
Mike Uraine. whose friends are legion,

Kid Marshall, the fast little feather
whose victory over Young Thomas was
so decisive. is anxious to get another
bout at Ardmore, and he will probably
be accommodated in the near future.

Gibbons proved too experienced for the
