This Fight to
Be a Hummer
ELY FANS ARE LOOKING FOR
WARD TO COMING BOUT BE
TWEEN JOHNNY DUNN AND
YANKEE RHUE.

At last all matters have been set
tied and the Ely Athletic club makes
the definite announcement that ON
Saturday night next Johnny Dunn will
face Yankee Rue in the ring at Bio
hall.
1t has been the hope of the fight
fans Of the district ever since the
grand exhibition here on Labor Day
that these two men might be brought
together Arrangements were prac-
tically completed some time ago when
Rue received a fattering offer to fight
in Idaho where he would be given an
opportunity to meet a man whom he
has long been after. This gave rise
to talk that Rue would prefer the
match in Idaho, but during the week
all this talk received the knockout
blow and went down for the final
count of ten when the men signed ar
ticles and posted their forfeits to
guarantee their appearance in the
ring at Bio hall.
Neither OF these men need any in
production. Johnny Dunn has so far
successfully defended his title as well
terweight champion of the Pacific
coast and no comment is necessary
en- the exhibitions he has given inside
the ropes since his arrival here. He
! is one of the cleanest, cleverest and
gamest fighters that ever stepped
through the ropes, but if there Is one
chance of taking his measure Yankee
Rue has that chance. Rue will con-
cede some weight to Dunn, but to
those who saw him in his bout with
Young Gilbert on Labor Day, the mat
ter of any slight concession that he
may make is not surprising. He is 30
clever that he Is obliged to make
some concessions in order to get a
match. He has left hand that Is
wonder. and you might just as well
TRY to watch everything that is going
on in a twelve ring circus as to try
to watch that left hand when Rue is
in action. Not only that, but Dunn
will do well to keep guard up
against right swing from Rue, be-
cause that gentleman can hit from
any angle. His foot work is marvel
Gus and with what seems to him as
perfect ease he can get out of corner
which to the ordinary fighter would
seem impossible He is so fast that
his opponent no doubt often thinks
there are four or five Yankees" In
the ring or that the crowd is throwing
boxing gloves fom the audience.
Dunn has been working out at the
Apex in Ely. while Rue is in training
at McGll. Both men have a great
number of followers and both are con-
fident of being able to bring home
the bacon" next Saturday night.
Dunn has never lost battle In the
district. but there are many who feel
that notwithstanding the slight diff
ference in weight Rue by his extreme
cleverness will go over the course in
his usual whirlwind style and II he
fails to land the sleep producer on
the sturdy little champion he will at
least get the decision
Harry Williams of McGill has been
selected as the third man in the ring
and this in itself insures fair play.
Harry Is one of the most able men
that ever refereed go. One of the
best sports that ever lived and when
he is in the ring the public can be as
sured that everything will be on the
level.
As a preliminary. Packy Mcfarland
will meet Pete OLeary in a six-round
go. These two boys are likewise
known to every follower of the game
They are two of the cleverest light
weights that have ever been brought
together here. The two men met In
a four round go some time ago which
resulted in draw. Four rounds is
entirely too short a distance to settle
the question of supremacy between
two men as clover as Mcfarland and
O'Leary. and this six round mixul
will be one continuous round Of plea
sure from the sound OF the gong.
Dunn and Rue will fight on the
winner-take-all basis. which is a fur
ther proof Of their confidence and
sporting blood.
