The actions of Johnnie Sharpe and Eddie Rosner, in their coming six round bout before the Remington A. c. in the Casino, Friday, are going to De watched with interest by the spec tators, for the reason that both boys are acknowledged to be among the leaders iA their class, and well-match- ed
 Sharpe is popular with local fight fans and is an adroit, sh1lful boxer, as well as swift, sure, hard-hitter. He has ring record to be proud of, and has never been known to fail of holding his own with the best of men
 Young Rosner, of New York, is Ed die Rosner's brother, and is one of inc best lighters in the ring HeI is training the lad who will work out before the Bridgeport fans, and the lessons he is imparting will reinforce the youngsters natural skill to the extent of making him stiff proposi- tisn fcx Sharpe W
 Of course, the main attraction will be Knockout Eggers and Billy De Toe, w13o will slam it out for twelve rounds in hope of winning the de- cisioh which will give one or the other the opportunity to meet Frankie Burns of New Jersey. Eggers and DeFoe are going to put up the battle of their lives, and of this fact fans may feel certain Both men are 1T prime condition and are keeping 1T constant training for their encoun. ter.
 Betting thus far favors Eggers, be- ca11se while De Foe is the more skill .zn1 boxer, Eggers has enough science to make him a formidable opponent when his siugging ability is reckon ed with. He is quite popular here and decision in his favor will nees with general approval

Little Rock, Ark, F Dec. 26-The scheduled ten round no decision bout between Fred Fulton of Rochester, Minn.. and Harry Texas" Tate of Nowata, Okla, an unknown, was stop ped here yesterday in the first round by Referee Billy Haack after Fulton had repeatedly used foul tactics.
 Tate forced the fighting from the first tap of the gong At the very start he staggered the plasterer with a short right to the jaw, then as the men were coming out of a clinch Full ton caught Tate low with a terrific left. The Nowata boy sank to the floor helpless and had to be carried to his corner.
 Billie McCarney, Tate's manager, announced that Tate wanted to go on, and the crowd cheered him. After an continuation had been made by club officials and Referee Haack, Haack announced that Tate had been hit low but that be would go on with the fight. Tate was given 8 rest of about ten minutes and the round was resuAaeds
 Tate rushed Fulton, sending in hard right and left jabs and F'ulton's head sank to Tate's shoulder when the men clinched. After repeated cIinches, ana when the round was nearly over, Full, [ ten, while the men were in a clinch Hear the ropes, jerked himself to one side and forced Tate through the ropes and onto the floor.
 Tate Almost Unconscious.
 It was one of the most unsports- 11an]ike actions seen in ring. Tate was knocked almost unconscious ant his head and back were injured. Al soon as the game Oklahoman hat been lifted into the ring, Billy Haack

HOVER THE TOp::-::

In spite of the fact that Chic Browns manager. Lew Brown offers to give $100 to charity if it can be proven that his protege insulted Champion Benny Leonard during their fight in New Haven, by calling him a dirty Jew" there are those who still insist they heard the remark passed.
 We read an interesting account of a purported turn down. received by Dick Curley, noted boxing promoter, in his efforts to get into the game in New Haven. Yet notwithstanding that every means possible is being used to bar him from the Elm City, the writer knows that Curley yields a certain power which will either make his interests safe there. or else will go far toward hurting those who are trying to hurt him. Prejudiced press agents reports cannot harm him.
 E Grover Cleveland Alexander would undoubtedly be big attraction on the U. B. o. or any other circuit, but the $10,000 offer to travel the vaude- vile route while resting up for base ball failed to arouse his interest Grover wants $10,o00 of the money paid to purchase him from Phiiadel- phia, and he's going to try hard to get it.

the referee, stopped the fight because of F'ulton's dirty tactics. Haack tcensured Fulton and ordered him from the ring while the crowd hissed Fred.
 When asked about the bout after wards in the dressing room Haack said that Tate should be declared the winner. No decision, however, was given in the ring other than the bout was stopped because of F'ulton's tac- tics.
 The crowd voiced it's approval of the decision, many clamoring for a decision when Fulton hit Tate low, necessitating the intermission. Fulton tried to make a talk, but was hissed by the large audience.
 It was announced that on January 15 Benny Leonard would meet the winner of the Read-Lux bout, which is scheduled for Friday night at the local club.
 Fouled Morris Twice. 2 Fulton has been warned for fouling rather frequently in his short ring career and thrice has been disquali. fled for hitting low. Twice he fouled Carl Morris-the first time in tht sixth round in 1914 ,and the second time in. the fifth round of their bout in New York last year. In his bouts with, Morris, tRere was strong reason for his fouling since he was gettins the. worse of the argument and hi low apparently to save himself from | further punishment and a probable knockout. The house was very an tagonistic against Fulton and wa. ,.fstrong for the Oklahoman. Tate prov ed far more formidable hitter thar Fulton had expected and the Ok1aho man proved. it right at the start.

CHIC BROWN EARNED
 FORTUNE AT BOXING

Some interesting data has been fur nished local sporting writers which shows that Chic Browns ring earn ings over a space of IS months have total1ed nearly $12,000. This amount represents more money than that col lected by any other state boxer in an entire career. Further comparison of figures prove that the amount nearly surpasses the combined ring earnings of those old gladiators, Jeff Doherty and Bunny Ford. Brown is still big drawing, card and it is reasonable to believe lat he will swell this sum to a comfortable for tune before the draft possibly pulls him away from the public gaze.
 The success of Brown stands out as the big feature of local boxing his- tory Only a few years ago it was feared that the game was nearing it's death in this city. But the rapid rise of Brown, combined with his great powers as box office attraction not only brought revival of the sport in New Haven, but tended to make that city one of the leading boxing centres of the East. New Haven has Brown to thank for it's in- creased interest in boxing. His slam bang style of fighting, coupled with his gameness and efforts to please have proved the proper inspiration to place New Haven in the throes o1 boxing craze which it will proba- bly, enjoy for a long time.

Kid Mccoy Put One Over on
 South Africans 21 Years Aqo,

Kid Mccoy was always full of tricks. Tomorrow will be the 21st anniversary of his fight with Doherty,
 the South African middleweight champion, in Johannesburg, in which
 number of African wisenheimers were badly stung. Mccoy had none of the appearance of the typical pugilist, and this gave some of the African sports poor opinion of his ability. Moreover, the Kid caused to be spread broadcast a rumor that he was i'll and in poor condition, and the local mans packers swallowed the story whole. Mccoy had his training camp in Johannesburg, and it was visited daily by large numbers of

 Every time you see tears in the eyes of club manager you can take it for granted that he's just said good bye to one of his young hopefuls who has enlisted, The tears flow not so much from sorrow, as they do from worry over where to get another player to fill in.

BEATING THE TICK.

The cattle tick. which in the years

Mississippi viii be declared free of
