scheduled for tomorrow night In

TO be an impression among agh. fans
that the Roscommon Giant was the

Cofsey himself has done p rpeat

short rest IN the country he tackled
Grnboat Smith, who had beaten both
Moran and Champion Jess Willard.
The Irishnan went into that battle as
full OF confidence AZ ever. and owed
the chin that was the duplicate OF the
one he received from Moran, and
which put the Gunner 70 sleep.
The bout tomorrow night Seems TO
resolve into a question of which r an
can first land his punch. Both are
hard httters. and Il Is considered bet
ter than an even money bet that either
one or the other will win by knock
out. There are few heavyweights who
fight as earnestly and conscient!ously
as Coffey. He is willing to take a
punch in order 20 get the chance 10
