The writer received an official note
from the secretary Of the Congress
with the information that the en-
tries for the big show consisted of
900 hve-men teams; 1883 doubles
and 1881 singles.
While the entries for the state

the fact that the event will probably
continue well along I'm May And.
II they do not get in nthe early

MASON REALIZES
LIFE AMBITION
Is Confident He Will Cash In
On Result of International
Scrap.

frankie Mason, the American fly
weight champion, will realize a life
long ambition when he crawls
through the ropes at Toledo Friday
night, March Il. to meet Jimmy
Wilde, the English fyweight cham
pion and settle the worlds suprem-
aCy in their division. For years
Frankie has worked with this IN
view, and when he meets Wilde
there is no question but what he
Will put up the greatest bout Of
his long and successful career.
Since entering the pugilistic game
some 10 years ago when he was
nothing but a kid" Mason has en-
gagged I'm more than 200 battles. In
not one Of these encounters has the
doughty little Hoosier been knocked
off his feet, a distinction probably
held by no other fighter in the
game. The American champ has
won nearly all OF his fights. in a few
cases ne has been robbed OF deci-
sions because OF prejudiced referees
and sport writer's. but never has he
been decisiveiy beaten.
Both Are Good.
Wilde is recognized by all as be-
ing one OF the greatest flys who
ever stepped inside a squared arena.
but in frankie Mason ne will meet
the toughest opponent he has ever
been forced to exchange blows with.
For years Mason has been the right
full claimant. and now owner. OF the
American crown, while Wilde has
shown his superiority over the 9TH
er European boxers of his weight
10 such an extent that ne has held
the European title for the past two
years.
Both OF these lads are we'll un-
der the maximum fiyweight pound
age Of l12 pounds, Wilde weighing
about los and Mason weighing about
about los IL or 100. Both OF these
boys are clever. hard and fast hit
tiers. good infighters, and each can
stand an unlimited amount of pun
ishment. Since there is no advan-
tage In weight or the other reQui-
site qualities OF champions the fight
will have 20 be decided on pure
merit alone. in case there is no
Knockout. which is not considered
probable.
Has Many Friends.
Mason has appeared in South
Bend FIVE or six times. most fire.
quently since ne made his home here
half year ago, and after each
fight ne has added many fans TO his
already large list OF supporters by
his clean and gentlemanly conduct
both in and out OF the ring. Navy
OF his adherers from here will be at
the ringside when the gong will
sound for the boys 20 sIrt their
titular scrap.
