his card Manager Welsh mas evil

real shows for their money
The star bout Of Is rounds will
bring together Hartford's favorite,

for himself by the sterling battles he
has put up in various towns about
the state last winter Ames faced
such ring generals as wild Bill

for his match in this city.
The opponent of the Hartford boy
will be no other than Silent Mar
tin, the boy who is locked upon by
New Workers as the coming middle
weight champion of the world. Mar
tin has fought his way to the top OF
the ladder and all that stands in his
way of the crown is Al Mccoy, who
wears the championship emblem, but
Martins manager is confident that II
he can get the champ to meet his man
it will be curtains for Mccoy.
Martin is one of the present eccen-
tries of the pugilistic world being a
deaf mute, but despite this handicap
he Is regarded as a whiriwind.
The semi-final will bring together a
local favorite in Jimmy Riley who ap-
peared here last spring and VINO made
hit with the crowd on account of
the whirlwind battle he put up
against Sammy Waltz of Hartford.
The Capitol City boy mas clamored
for a return match and Manager
Welsh has made terms tnat have been

Those who figured Fred Merkle be-
low the average in ball playing ability
and there were many-are now en-
titled to sudden shift. Merkle
started . the campaign playing great
ball at first. No man in either league
was playing better. Then he was
shifted to the outfcld, where many
rank him as the most brilliant per-
former in the older league, only
second to Speaker in the game for
ground covering worth. There are not
many who can star at one job. But
