+ show at the Maryland Athletic and So
cial Club at Ardmore tonight.
The officials of the Ardmore Club stood
by Referee Pat O'Connor and Jerry
Mccarthy. Manager Of Tommy Lowe. the
local boy who is to meet Bruno Lang

: to allow the local referee to serve as
1 the third man in the ring in this affair.
After the local veteran lightweight
signed articles for this 15-round affair
with the sluSSer from Cleveland. he
Nbalked at having T. F. O'Connor to act
as official in this contest. This littl.
argument between Lowe and the Ard
more officials was patched up last night
and the mill scheduled for the Maryland
Club tonight will be the fastest eveH
held in the Ardmore arena.
Lang defeated Lowe in Akron two
months ago in 10-round semi-windup to
the Griffith Welsh fight The Ardmore

local veteran up to the mark for this
fight as he insisted that Lang could not
make the lightweight limit and the fans

in this end of the set-to.
Weigh In Today.
The boys will weigh in today at 4
o'clock at the Riggs Baths, and are
compelled to make 1873 pounds, or forfeit
purse of 500. Lowe yesterday was
below the margin, and did not do any
work. He is confident Of beating the
Sixth City athlete and claims to be in
the best of condition.
Lang is a fighter built along the lines
of Tex Seliman. the ranger sailor. who
has performed at the Maryland Club. He
has three inches in reach on the local
veteran and about two inches taller in
height. He is famed through the West
ern States for his smuggling tactics and
packs real punch in both hands. Lang
has but very little to say in regards to
the battle. but is confident of beating
Lowe in this fight. Charles Mareto his
