TRY TO CLIMB
AGAIN TONIGHT
Heavyweight Boxer Faces
Jim Savage in Bout at

CLABBY-B FAIRFIELD
MATCH POSTPONED
Ralph Grunan Having Trouble
in Obtaining Opponents
White To Be Busy.

Al Reich, the local heavyweight
boxer, will endeavor to start his climb
TO the top of the ladder again to night.
He will face Jim Savage, of Range,
at the 81. Nicholas Athletic Club, and
slashng boxing match is in pros
pect. There is not a more capable man
in the ring, when fit, than Savage, and
those who have seen his preparation
for this contest declare that he is
trained to the minute.
Savage has taken a new lease on life,
it would seem, since he trained Will
lard for the battle with Johnson. He
saw there what perfect condition could
do. jim can box with the best, hit as
hard as any, and fight like rend
when put to it,
Despite the fact that Jim Coffey de-
feated Reich there are many who in
sst that tt is the better man. lie can
box at least as we'll as Coffey, and can
hit harder. II is needless to rehesrse
the might Of their last
meeting.
After that reverse Reich went to
Kansas City, where he stopped the
hard-hitting Al Norton, one Of the
toughest young sluggers in the ring.
Not only did he win, but in such de-
cisive style that promoters all over the
country offered him match with Cor
fey. could the latter be secured. Al
agreed, declaring that nothing would
please him better.
Jimmy Johnston has assured Reich
of match with Cofey If he manages
TO beat Savage. He has promised the
latter several good bouts If he dis-
poses of Reich, so both men have some
thing TO try for.
The bout between Jimmy Clabby and
Soldier" Bartfeld has been postponed
until July II. 1t was originally IN

dav NIGHT. but Jimmy requested more

Colin Bell and Battling Levinsky will
cross gloves at Browns Far Rockaway
Club on Friday night.
Joe Rivers is anxious, or says he is,
10 fight Charley White, which proves
the bravery of all Mexicans.
Freddie Welsh may be slipping and
all that. but there ia no boxer in the
ring to-day who can do so much with
such limited equipment. Freddie
has only his head left. and that is
enough for lot Of these bOys-espe-
cially in q no-decision contest.
