d1ately went into training for his ten.

urday night at the Rink Hall. VIII

known and popular in this city Ev-
eryone who has met him is favor
ably impressed by his clean cut ap.
pearance and gentlemanly demeanor
Although he lacks the earmarks of
the average professional boxer, one
can see at a glance, even in his street
clothes, that he is trained athlete
Billy Lucas is also a clean cut
manly young fellow. and has made
many friends and admirers in Yer

training, as we'll as in Smith Valley.
where he prepared for his previous
fight. He will spend the last few
days of his training in Yerington be
fore entering the ring.
Williams and Lucas are a pair OF
hard hitting scientific boxers, and each
of them has a long list of victories
to his credit While Williams has
been boxing through this State and
California, Lucas has been performing
through Michigan, Wyoming and
Montana, and neither of them has
been defeated as yet. The contest
next Saturday night promises to be
an exciting one, and one of the best
scientific boxing contests eyed pulled
off in this State
A preliminary bout of four rounds
