Takes Kid Thomas Place and
Shows Allentown Dundee
a Few Things

Fight fans witnessed a great box
ing show last night. Every battle
had its thrills. 1t was big sue

of the manager of Kid Thomas who
failed to keep his contract with the
management
Fortunately Lancaster Is not far
away aud there are some good fight
ers in that city, and There is also
a railroad that has trains running
to and from Lancaster at short III
tervals. This enabled thc manage
ment to secure Tim Droney, as SUD-
stitute for Thomas. In the ten
round battle with Allentown Dundee
and Droney the patrons witnessed
one of the best battles ever seen IN
Harrisburg.

for the next six rounds; but tne
windup had Droney forcing the
fighting. ..o
Another good exhibition was the
six-round battle between Ruoe BEN

of Allentown. There was no ques.

going to surprise the steel corporation

claim that SO per cent of the steel work
