'BARR|EAU.LEW|S FIGHT
WILL Be A HUMO|NGER

terweight of Canada. and Perry Lewis
of Denver. are both in excellent
shape and can be depended upon to
put up the greatest fight of their bril-
liant careers in the prize ring, whine
they face each other in Bio hall on
the afternoon of July Fourth. The
preliminary will be put on promptly
at 4:30 O'Clock, at the conclusion of
which the principals for the main
event will step through the ropes
trained to the minute and each con-
fident of victory.
Barrieau has been guaranteed
$500. with his transportation from
Montana. and has the option of TAX
ing 25 per cent of the gross receipts
of the house should he SO elect.
Lewis has a guarantee of $3.50 for
his services, but the bout is attract
ing such widespread attention
throughout the entire district that
the gate receipts will no doubt be
far larger than any previous exhibit
ton has been able to draw, and the
two boys will no doubt take down a
tidy sum when the fight is over.
Barrieau is recognized the world
over as one of the cleverest boxers
in the business. Aside from this, he
is a dangerous fighter at all times.

when the subject of a knockout is
under consideration. He hits with
either hand and his blows have plen-
ty of steam. It is the second time
he has appeared in this district, and
Promoter Tom Chambers is certainly
entitled to credit for bringing men
of the class he has succeeded in get
ting together in this district. Frank
Barrieau's record is an open book
and we'll known to every follower of
the game throughout the country.
His last fight here, when he got a de-
cision over Eddie Johnson. however,
Is sufficient recommendation. Since
| his arrival a week ago. he has been
seen at work all over the district and
has many followers who will back
him to the limit.
Lewis is by no means lacking in ad-
mirers and his record is such as to
entitle him to a tremendous fol-
lowing in any battle he may enter.
He is not only extremely clever, but
is a fighting demon and one that
keeps on top of his man from gong
to gong. He carries a kick in either
mitt that will end the fight whenever
it lands according to direction. He
puts up just such a battle as the fol-
lowers of the game like to see, using
considerable head work, an excellent
ring general. a glutton for punish
ment, and with all. one of the clever
est. cleanest boys at his weight that
has been before the public in many
years.
Both of the boys have % many ad-
mirers, and are considered so well
matched, that 1t is difficult to say just
what the betting at the ring side
will be. From present indications
Barrieau will carry the money to out
point Lewis II the fight goes the ten
round limit. There will be plenty OF
betting, however, that Lewis will stay
the ten rounds, and many who will
grab the short end that with his
fierce work he will get the Canadian
champion before the end of the tenth
round. Fl has a ring record that any
might be proud of. and his recent
fight here when he went ten rounds
to a draw with Eddie Duffy, is in it.
self an excellent recommendation.
The preliminary is attracting prac-
tically as much attention as the main
bout. Harry Beecher and Pete Vas
iliou, two local boys, win go eight
rounds, and this bout is sure to be
a whirlwind. Beecher is one of the
classiest boxers that ever pulled on
a mitt. while Vasiliou is a fighting
bull, with no small amount of clever
ness. He is being well and ably
coached by some past masters at the
game of hit, block and get away. and
with every workout he improves re-
markably. Among his Greek coun-
trymen he will have a tremendous
following, while Beecher will carry
a wad of money behind him sufficient
to load a ship. He is a particular
favorite at McGill and those who
know him in the mill are willing to
lay their money that he can take the
Greeks measure. This bout will in
all probability be the cause of more
money changing hands at the ring
side than any other event that has
ever been staged in the district.
