TWO BIG BOUTS FOR
NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT

Promoter Tom Chambers has ar
ranged two big battles for next Sat
urday night and 1t seems safe to say
that Bio hall will be crowded at
$50 sharp when Eddie Duffy and
Perry Lewis of Denver will step thru
the ropes for their ten-round go.
AS soon as this bout is concluded.
Eddie Johnson and George Pappas
will enter the ring and in both bouts
it will be case of fight all the while.
Both Eddie Johnson and Eddie
Ddffy are SO we'll known here that
nothing need be said regarding the
exhibitions they both are capable of
and will furnish. When Johnson
and Duffy faced each other in the
squared circle some time ago the bout
was one well worth travelling many
miles and paying the price of three
admissions to witness.
In Perry Lewis. 1t is figured that
Duffy has a hard man. to say the
least. He Is recognized as one of the
cleveTest boxers in the game at his
weight. and this statement Is borne
out alone by the fact tha be recently
went fifteen rounds to draw with
Jack Torres in Denver. That he is
likewise capable of giving and taking
punishment cannot be doubted when
Jack Downey In fifteen rounds after
conceding considerable weight
Downey Is a man hard to beat at his
own weight and the fact that Lewis
proved his master is ample assurance
that Eddie Duffy has his work cut
out for him next Saturday night.
All know that Duffy is a classy
boxer and one who knows the game
from every angle. He Is not only q
willing. but an aggressive fighter ana
the bout between him and the prom
Using young lad from Denver alone
will be worth more than the price of
admission.
These boys will make 145 pounds
and be trained to the minute.
Immediately following this bout
Eddie Johnson and George Pappas
Will try conclusions. Pappas is big
sturdy fellow, a glutton for punish
ment and has a kick like pile
driver. Johnson will be obliged to
concede considerable weight. but has
the advantage in cleverness. Since
Johnson came to Ely to meet Dunn
several months ago he has made a
world of friends and will have a
large following when he faces Pap,
pas. Notwithstanding the concession
of weight.
In the minds of the followers of
the sport Johnson has never really
lost battle In this district 1t is
true that he had decision rendered
against him In his fight with frankie
Darrieau, but to say the least, the
decision was very unpopular. and It
is generally conceded that Johnson
was entitled to at least draw.
>Pappas has a record for winning
fights In short order by the knockout
route and must be figured not only
dangerous opponent. but one who has
a chance to win at any stage by drop
ping his man for the count OF ten.
johnson is not only clever, but
carries a wallop that will end the
fight II II lands as directed.
When the entire card is taken into
consideration. we find one OF the best
exhibitions that has ever been staged,
and the audience will be on tip-toe
during the entire evening
Lewis will arrive In Ely tonight.
Tomorrow night. Promoter Chambers
will take all his stars to Ruth, where
they will assist the Ruth Athletic
club In the entertainment scheduled
for the benefit OF the mine club.
Duffy will go. three rounds with
johnson, while Pappas will go the
same route with his sparring partner,
Jack Ray. and Lewis will take on
one OF the local men to show his
ability. On Tuesday like perform
ance Will be given in Ely and on
Wednesday and Thursday at McGill.
