at Allentown in about a fortnight. the up
state fans were anxious to see Loughlin and
Kopin paired off, as in a previous meeting
Kopin was credited with two knockouts.
This bout. too no doubt is passed up and
it is probable that Kopin and McCarron
will b. opponents in the next big bout at
Allentown.
I OUGHLIN is type OF the boxer who

he was off when Jack Blackburn beat him
recently. Hen wants another match with
black Blackburn and says If he can get the
match that Jacks cleverness will not faze

has been in strict training for two weeks.
TTANK McGOVERN is due for a tough

at the Cambria A. c. when he toes the
scratch with Johnny Rosner, Of New York
Rosner is the rugged and hard-punching
hatter who is out to defend the flyweight
championship of America. Any Of the 1866
