OF Baltimore. Md, and Bristol. England
and Arlos Tanning OF Bartlesyille Okla.
Tanning Makes Weight.
Tanning was down to the forfeit weight
1928 pounds yesterday afternoon, and
there is no doubt hut that he will be
able to make the required weight At 2
o'clock this afternoon. Tanning has been
working out In the basement at the
kingkade hotel and In travelling at top
speed in his work outs.
"Arlos Is looking like an entirely dif-
ferent man from what he did when he
met LIE Morrisey last week, said Bert
Connors, his manager this morning. "He
is hitting hard and is again fighting like

Benny Mcneil said today that he is
not at all worried over the outcome OF
the fight tonight, and that he was ready
to give the Oklahoma boy the fight OF his
life.

Not only are the fans expressing great

great interest in the semi wlndup be-

men started six-round go last week,
