Kayo Sullivan, the Shenan-
doah Terror, Is Down to
Weight for His Battle with
AL Mccoy, of Brooklyn
PRELIMINARIES NAMED

One of the greatest middle-weight box
ing contests ever staged here will I'M
doubtly be witnessed Tuesday night when
Al Mccoy, one of the best middle
weights in the world, stacks up against
Kayo Sullivan, the Shenandoah Pa.
Terror. and generally credited with be-
ing right-near the top of the line in the
middle-weisht division. The bout is set
for fifteen rounds and the men will
weigh in at 15S pounds at o'clock at
Tommy loves gymnasium. There will
be no trouble on this score, as both
men have big forfeits up for weight
and appearance.
The boxing folks. however. claim
that Manager La Fontaine has this time
matched a champion with a boy who
will surely hold his own. and possibly
then some. Sullivan is known as a
slugger from his heart and the same is
said of Mccoy. who is rip-snorting
fighter who keeps working from the
first 20 the last minute of a fight
The boxing fans who have seen Sui
Ivan in his workout with Mike Uraine
and Hank Griffin. claim that they are
willing. to bet a few that the fight will
not go the route. as both of these lads are
on the same rushing order and both have
a kick in their right hand that will lay
one of them out
Sullivan went through three fast ana
vigorous rounds of boxing with Mike
Uraine, and a fast turn of shadow box
ing. which lasted several minutes. with
out a halt and his breathing. when he
stopped. was as normal as if he had
been sitting in a chair doing nothing.
1t is said the same of Mccoy, who is
training at Dial Hawkins roadhouse up
at Wechester, n. Y. where he is train
ing with Johnny Dundee and. Soldier
Bartfeld. He claims that he is in better
shape for this fight than any fight he
ever took a hand in. and If this be the
case the public will see a night that will
send them away talking.
Surrounding this wonderful fight are
three others of equal merit The fight
will be between Jimmy Conroy. who put
UP such a slashing fOur-round fight with
Otto Brown at the last show. and Kid
Whip. who gave Patsy Donovan a good
fight some time ago. These two lads are
sure to make it interesting for each other,
as they are two boys that fight on the
some order and will give the fans plenty
OF action.
Another bout that is causing a lot of
interest is between Kid McCauly and
Young Montana. These two lads fought
a terrific four-round fight not long ago
end each is not satisfied with the de-
cision given by the referee, and ever since
they have been trying TO get at each
other.
In the semi wind.ap Harry Glenn, of
Baltimore, will meet Young Thomas for
eight rounds. and it is doubtful If there
was a more equal pair ever matched at
the Ardmore Club. These two boys are
in tiptop shape and already claim a vic
tory over each other. 1t is sure to be
hummer as the winner is promised
fight with ClaIry Marshall at a later
In,I8 s1,es
GiCan has trained harder for this fight
tan any other fight in his life, as he
wants to show tine public that I've is en-
titled 10 match with George CLANCY or
any ether good man in the country. and
TO- this reason has caused Thomas to
train as he never did before.
Arrangements have been completed
wiki the Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis electric car line to give The box
ing fans of the Maryland Club better and
moro comfortable service. Cars will leave
Fifteenth street and New York avenue
as usual. There will be one at $50. two
specials at : AND three at $50 and $.

tecnth and II streets northeast, where
there will he several other cars waiting
to take them 20 the club.
