M'vE|GH WILL HAVE
TO SHOW HIS BEST
Fasane Is Said to Be Equally
as Clever as Local
Scrapper.
M'CARTY VS.. KID BECK

Jimmy McVeigh Is IN great shape
for his scheduled four round mill with
Jimmy Fasane, of New York, at the
Central Institute tonight. McVeigh, in
meeting Fasane, viii be pitted against
a lad equally as clever as himself,
and it will be the better punch that
will probably turn the trick. McVeigh
has not been seen before the local
fight fans for over half year. He
was out on the Pacific coast when he
acted in the capacity of sparring
partner for Worlds Lightweight
Champion Willie Richie. His trip to
the West is said to have advanced
him not only in cleverness, 1t is said,
and experience, but also In weight.
Jimmy is now a full-fedged per-
former of the lightweight division.
Fasane is well known here, and his
bouts with Young Gradwell and Carl
Victor, both of whom he defeated, in
dictate that he is no SLOUGH.
As an appetizer for the wind-up
Professor Troxler has arranged sew
eral other four-round bouts as fol-
lows: Young McCarty and Kid Beck,
Mike Randol and Sam Smiler, Archie
Scott and Johnny Dell, Battling Reno
and Young Crotty, Young Dundee anu
Kid Shells, Rabbit Long and Kid
Jackson and Young Goldie and Bob
Russell.

Brooklyn Triangles and New

FAST CONTEST ANTICIPATED

Newark will have some very big
league basketball tonight. The Pal
ace ballroom, Washington and Bleeck-

an exhibition contest between two
New York State League clubs, the
Newburg. n. Y, Club, and the
Brooklyn Triangles. Upon the sup
port given the game tonight will dez
pend the future of league team here.
If the local followers of the indoor
pastime turn out in goodly numbers
the Brooklyn franchise will be trans
ferred to this city, and the first league
game will take place here Friday
night between the local club and the
Crescents, of Paterson.

the Palace court two weeks ago,

the player to return the leather TO

The Brooklyn team is known in this
city, several of its players making up
the famous st. James Triangles,

teams last year. They met the Kings

the game here, said today that the

booked to oppose the Brooklyn team
in the exhibition game tonight, but as
a regular league game has been carded
