Joe yelling the Chicago lightweight who
has been in the running for Fred Welsh's
scalp for two years although he has never
had the pleasure of chasing the English
man in the ring. will make his first ap.
pearance In Phlly tonight He will pair
of with Sammy Robideau in the wind-up at
the Olympia A. A, and in meeting Sam,
yelling will go out of his class, as Robby
has developed into full-fledged welter.
weight
Since becoming famous with his fists
yelling has been boxing in and around
New York. His bouts have proved him to
be a good puncher and a dangerous man
during his stay in the ring. Joe's last two
matches were with Johnny Dundee and
Jack Britton. Especially in his match with
the Scotch Wop did Welling convince fight
followers of his serious intentions to bring
the lightweight crown back to America and
the Windy City Dundee knew that he
was in ten rounds OF terrific battling, and
Dundee, as the fans know, is no slouch,
by any means.
Johnny Moloney gets back into profess
sional competition in the third bout and he
will meet a perfectly good set-up in Tommy
Allen. Young McGovern and Joe Tuber
will settle their Philadelphia bantam supre-
macy in the semi.
Jamison Didn't Conquer
Tommy Jamison is not ready yet for
major bouts with real bg-league boxers.
This was proved Saturday night at the Ma
tional. when he tried and failed to caress
Joe Azevedo's chin with his terrific south
paw wallop. with the fond hope of spiling
| the rugged Portuguese. Tom did crash
Azevedo's jaw several times with his hay
maker and staggered Sir Joseph. too. but
he didn't possess the stamina 20 follow up
his slashing slams, The result was that
AEevedo distributed a legitimate and i'm
pressive lambasting over the Philadelphian's
| anatomy. Joe's victory was impressive in
somuch as 1t impressed the spectators, and
left red impressions on Jamson's stomach,
kidneys, mouth, nose and eyes.
Johnny Best was another battler who was
handed a fine lacing, Al Nelson doing the
trick niftily and nicely Although the re-
puted English champion had never ap-
peared in America before wiseacres in
| local fistic ranks were around prophesizing
| knockout-defeat for NeleouE AL didn't
| box Best he outfought him at his own
| game and today the Italian admits ne is
the featherweisht champion Of England.
Johnny Kilbane, Actor
Johnny Kilbane is a good boxer, other
wise he wouldn't be sporting the feather
we ght laurels, and reports from Baltimore
state that the Clevelander is just as good
an actor. Killy showed behind the foot
| lights In the Monumental City last week,
and starting this afternoon at the Troca-
| dero Theatre, John p. Kilbane, actor. will
do his second weeks turn Of a four-week
| eatrical engagement.
No, Kibanes sketch is not of the reg
| ular kind neither is It entirely of boxing.
Johnny, understand does fine mono-
logue before a sparring stunt. In Balti-
more he lauded Kid Williams a wonder
| full little battler and made big hit We
wonder what Philadelphia boxer Kilbane
| will boost so that Philadelphians will think
that Johnny p. is regular actor fellow.
