Fight fans look for another lively
boxing bill tonight at the Olympia
A. c., Steelton. The advance sale
of seats indicates a record crowd.
Unusual interest is manifested in all
the bouts, not only in this city and
Steelton, but in Philadelphia ana
other cities.
With the many disappointments
reported by fight promoters, rams
are sometimes rather dubious about
newcomers. Thus far Manager Joe
Barrett has had few setpacks'
What disappointments have been
handed out at Steelton could not pe
blamed on his management. Ohtll
there is a boxing commission III
PENNSYLVANIA the general puphc pee
lieves the fight game is one ol
chance, and the only way TO MAKE
good with the public is to play Ialr.
According to fight gossip Manager
Barrett has made good. Local lli,s his

Steelton every two weeks. Tonight $

strangers include several ring poys
about whom very little is known
here. However, they all have peeh
showing records and it looks hhe
program of thrillers.
