Good Bout Will Open Card at
Nelson-Egan Fight at
Ardmore.
MICKEY BROOKES LISTED

Manager Phillips announced last night
that the main bout and preliminaries
named by him earlier in the week would
stand. and he expected one of the largest
crowds in the history of the club to be
on hand to greet the fighters. AS has
been the way in previous cases the Ard
more promoter has done all in his power
to give the fight fans of this city the best
OF the talent obtainable.
The preliminaries which are carded by
the MANAGEMENT are by far the best that
could possibly be brought before the
members of the club and together with
the main bout which is expected to go the
full fifteen rounds. mich satisfaction
has been heard regarding the show.
1t may be true that the Washington
fans know practically nothing about the
work Of Charley Egan. commonly known
p the singing pugilist. but when the
|Ardmore matchmaker signs such a man
to articles II is good assurance that he Is
a good man not only in his opinion but
in the opinion Of persons who have seen
him work
On the other hand fight fans know the
sterling work of Egan's opponent. Frank
lie Nelson. of New York City, who Tom
my Lowe shaded slightly in the opening
show of the new clubhouse and they are
sure that he will make the local boxer
go all the way to win.
The preliminaries arranged range
from four-round set-to to eight
rounds and with the appearance of
Micky Brookes who substituted for
Terry Jones against Kid Greek in the
transferred card of the Capital City
Athletic Club. appearing with Young
Thomas in the semi-windup good
line may be gotten on the class of
the two boxers 1t is an assured fact
that Thomas now clamoring for a
chance at the featherweight cham
pionship of this city which Kid Greek
holds will have his hands full, as the
Baltimorean is finished little fighter
and one to be feared. as he carries
the wallop in both hands

four rounds while Rube Smith of
Bladensburg and Joe Blackburn will
swop punches for the same length.
AS usual a battle royal will be on
the card and is scheduled to take
place Immediately before the Brookes-
Thomas bout. The Washington fans
thus far have shown a liking for the
four-men affairs and it Is the plan of
Manager Philips TO provide one OF
these bouts for each show.
The train service to and from the
club house will be up to expectations
as Manager Phillips has the full as
surance of the railway ohicials that
there will be no. kick Of any kind
lodged against the service. P. F.
OConnor will be the official referee
of the evening while it has not been
decided who will handle the prelimin-
aries.

YOUNGSTERS TO FRONT
BY JOHN A. DUGAN.

Every selection of an all-high school
team in any class of sports always brings
a storm of protest from friends and fol-
lowers of the athlete or athletes who
they think deserved to be named for the
honored position on these mythical clubs
But few protests should be heard from
the selection of the all-high school nine

selected solely upon the merits Of the
work he performed during the series and
has not been named on his past record

could be nodded into an all-star high or
prep school club which would be hard to
beat anywhere in the country.
The followers of the high school sports
have been educated to all kinds of upsets
and on more than half a dozen occasions
the dope of the wise ones have gone
astray. but in the series which has just
closed with Central High School being
declared the champions. the fans were
furnished with brilliant playing on the
part of the noncontenders and upsets
galore.
Oldtimers Fail.
What proved to be the biggest upset
of all during the playing of the present
series was the poor fielding and hitting
of some of those youngsters whose names
were always attached to all-high school
combinations Such brainy and brilliant
athletes as Gennie Ochsenreiter. Jackey
Roberts Lefty" Showers, of sechnical:
Al Stearns. the nifty captain of the
Western club: Ray Wise. of Business:
Worden Dyer, of Eastern and A. Mac

of not playing up to the calber of which
they are capable of doing.
