SLUGGERS TO MEET.

In contrast to this exhibition of clev-
erness and generalship will be the Mar
tinelli- Heiderer bout in the opening half
of the feature attraction. Martinelli is
no dancing master. but he can punch,
and Benny Leonard would never turn
green with envy while watching Held
erer perform. But Johnny, like
Gene, is also gifted with the kick that
counts.
From all accounts Martin and
Heiderer intend to annihilate each 9TH
er with as much thoroughness as Is
possible and in as brief a time as is
convenient Martinelli had adopted a
policy of removing his rivals headpiece
in brutal fashion of late. He has ac-
customed himself to shaking hands with
an opponent and then stepping back
and let fly the widest wallop in his
system.
Having learned of this feature, Held
erer announces that he will proceed to
make simp of Martineli. and before
finally putting over the finishing jolt
will punch him into a mass of jelly-or
INTO a substance closely resembling a
hamburger steak before it is cooked.
Conversation has been both free and
bitter between adherents of the two
parties. and if tho affair lives up to
one sixteenth of the advance notices
two ambulances will remove the man
gled remains from the ring as early
as the third Canto.
