Whether Ira O'Neill, Phoenix favorite ring performer, is championship timber or not will be decided in the ring of the Phoenix Athletic club in Arcadia hall tonight when he meets Rufus Williams of San Francisco in a ten-round bout. The O'Neill-Williams fistic engagement will be the main card of 8 four-event program.
 O'Neill's future depends upon his showing against Williams tonight and local fans can therefore rest assured that he will box as he has never boxed before. A draw with Williams would class him among the best boys of his do much to put him in line for matches with such men as Jack Britton, Ted Lewis and Mikes O'Dowd.
 O'Neill Victory Not Improbable
 And, after all has been said and done, it is within the realm of possibility that O'Neill will win tonight's engage ment. Surely, if faithful training, will have any bearing on the result, O'Neill must be figured in the final reckoning. If practice makes perfect, then the local ring demon is well nigh perfection.
 No ring performer has ever worked more faithfully, more diligently than has Ira. Not that he has been worrying he is as confident of victory as a man could be without being over-confident but he realizes, as do all wise ring performers. that physical condition is a big asset to any man, especially in 8 hard engagement.
 O'Neill fully believes that he is go- ing to best the rugged Californian to-

night He has many supporters who think likewise, with result that inter est waxes high.
 Rufus Has Good Reputation
 Williams comes to Phoenix with a wonderful reputation. He is known throughout the west as a battler of the old school, one who can box and fight as we'll Rufus likewise has been train ing hard for this match for he realizes that many an unknown with champion ship ability frequently springs up un- heralded. Who knows but that O'Neih is such a man?
 Williams, local followers say, is too old to stand the fast pace that O'Neill will set from the word go This is a point that will only be determined when the bout is finished, however.
 Rufus likewise has his eyes turned toward the coveted goal of champion ship. He fully believes that he is the equal of any man his weight, and, so believing, is even no wseeking bouts with Ted Lewis and Jack Britton. He has offered to meet Lewis on winner take-all basis with substantial side bet as a further inducement for the Englishman.
 A defeat at the bands of O'Neill would, quite naturally, put him out of the running. For this reason. he win be at his best when he enters the ring tonight

RUFUS AND IRA READY FOR HARD BOUT
MARICOPA COUNTY ATHLETIC CLUB TO
 PUT ON SECOND SHOW TUESDAY NIGHT,
 WALLACE AND ERODE FOR MAIN EVENT

Brodie has beat such boys as Steve Dalton, Mike Golinda and Jack Oliver, all well known on the coast for ability to wield the gloves. In Wallace he is meeting probably the best fighter he has been up against.
 In Wallace, who is almost a veteran at the game, having been padding around the squared circle for the past five years. the Phoenix fans are going to see typical fighter. If ever a. man looked the part, Wallace does. He is broad of shoulder, almost too broad to get in the Adams hotel yesterday, but somehow or other he managed. Wal lace is a boxer who is willing and anxious to mix it all the time. He has a world of tricks up his sleeve, and can hit like a young mule. according to word coming from the coast anent his past work.
 The policy of the Maricopa club being to have only two shows week, an attempt is going to be made to bring only the best talent available to Phoenix. In line with this Stafford has secured the services of Jack Douglas, one of the best youngsters in the eoun- try for the semi-final go with Young Layman, the boy who put out Young bOSWGll III oU S6CO4QS dk lllG III 1l show at Alhambra-
 Douglas has a nationwide reputation as a a fighter Only a few weeks ago, he knocked out Benny Chavez. con tender for championship honors. In Layman he is going up against a hard person to beat.
 Layman distinctly proved that Labor day when he waded into Bos- well like young bear cat. It took ex- actly 50 seconds by the timers watch to lay Boswell low, and the latter was good and ready to quit. The bout be- tween Layman and Douglas is arous- ing considerable interest, as both are distinctly fighters and not boxers, willing to go from the bell until some one has quit.
 John Mcintosh, Wallace's manager. is enthusiastic over the prospects of his boy giving Brodie the trimming of his life He is positive that all the honors will be coming his way, and is giving long odds that the go will be one of the best staged here in many a day. The fact that Wallace recently went 15 rounds to a draw with Jean Delmott, leads Mcintosh to believe that over the long route, Wallace will have the best of the go.
 Wallace is working out at the Amer ican Legion headquarters where everyone is welcome to watch him. Brodie will select his training quar- ters as soon as he arrives here tomor- row.
 The announcement that Bill Corp stein will referee the bouts at Alham bra will give universal satisfaction 10 local people Art Rick, dean of Phoe- nix sport fans, will do the announcing in his own inimitable style.

145 pounds ringside.
 The men will weigh in at o'clock this afternoon, instead of at 6 o'clock as previously announced. They have agreed to do 150 pounds at that hour, give or take two pounds. O'Neill will weigh about 149 or 150. it is expected while Williams will tip the scales at about 146 to AT. Both men will take on couple of pounds before entering the ring. probably a few minutes after 10 o'clock.
 Three Preliminary Bouts
 Among the three preliminary events the bout between Harry Gibson of Phoenix and Tommy Ochoa of Tucson is attracting wide attention. This is the first inter city match held in Phoenix.
 Gibson was substituted for Leonard Pima at the eleventh hour owing to an injury to the latter's side while at work yesterday. Gibson is in good shape, however as he has been working out at the P. A. C. training quarters for nearly two weeks. These boys will

meet at 122 pounds
 The opening event between Ilanky Jean and Young Dutch is another bout between youngsters, such as was of fered on Labor day night Young Dutch challenged one or the other of the two boys who met on that occa- sion and was given bout with Lanky Jean.
 Henry Rosser and Frank Butler at 145 pounds will round out the four card program. Butler former quarter back on the Indian school football team, is making his first appearance in the squared circle. Rosser has appeared in two bouts on previous occasions.
