EXPECT A LARGE
CROWD At FIGHT
MALONE WORKING OUT
TO MEET VICTOR
WINNER OF GoLDFiELD BATTLE
TO BE FRANktE'S RING
ANTAGONIST

A record crowd is expected Monday
scraps billed in Tonopah for many
moons The fact that Jack Bratton
will not fight on that day is not ex-
pected to keep big number OF light
fans away from the ringside at the
Airdome; the matchmaker for the To
nopah Athletic club has secured the
best talent in sight for this show ana
the fans can rest assured that they
will see plenty of action Jack Min
nick, who is the manager of Frank
Malone. Is back from a trip to San
Francisco and II is said that while on
the coast he heard so much about Ma
lone that he is willing to gamble that
his boy can beat any featherweight in
The game Minnick will have Malone
step for eight or ten rounds with sew
eral good sparring partners today and
tomorrow afternoon at the Northern
bar gymnasium. All fans are invited
to get line on the boys and to watch
them through their training stunts
We need not worry about Malone's
opponent as the ten-round fight they
are to have in Goldfield will just servs
to put the winner on edge for two days
later. Many good boxers have been
known to fight three and four times
a week and get away with it. Moore
is good boy and we all know it. No
much of this fellow McAuliffe i.
known around Tonopah but after see
ing him work the fans of Goldfield re
fuse to bet against him.
Rainier, who boxes White foul
rounds, will work out with Malone foi
the next two days at the Northern
White sends word from Goldfeld tina
he will take no chances on losing an!
friends, and that he will win his figh
with Jack Smith in Goldfield on th'

Mrs. Arthur Hunt, the chairman OF
