Boxers Finish
 Training For Bouts at Club

Both Freddie Boorde and
 Jack Brady will finish off
 training today for their bout
 here tomorrow with light work
 outs in the B. A. c. gymnasium.
 Deuette Alfred will complete his
 work in the B. A. c. gym also,
 while Johnny Russo will finish
 training at the Boys club.
 The Athletic club is offering local box
 ing devotees a double header tomorrow
 night, when Boorde meets Brady, ana
 Alfred meets Russo in two headline events. The Russo-Allred event will perhaps be one of the best bouts put on by the
 B. A. C. in long time. It will no doubt vie with the Brady-Boorde affair in the
 matter of interest and excitement. Both
 Alfred and Russo are ready mixers and the two are likely to stage a nip-and- tuck affair from start to finish A GRUDGE AFFAIR The Brady y-Boorde clash will be a real intense grudge affair. Boorde is still stinging from the defeat handed him by
 Brady some time ago, while Brady IS sore from the insinuations of some that he didn't deserve the victory. Each will have something to scrap for when they
 meet tomorrow night
 The main bout on the preliminary list will be the tilt between Bob Bowden and Roy Wilkenson, two of Tommy Tompkins' 15s-pounders
 Boby Bowden is said to be one Of the cleverest and most promising of Tom my's entire string of B. A. c. boxers. Bob is long, lanky, individual, with plenty of frame around which to drape some muscle. He is fast for big man
 ahd can hit fairly hard. He is learning much under Tommy's tutelage and prom ises to develop into first-class anna teur fighter before long.
 Tommy says that Bowden will win the southern amateur championship in the middleWeight class without Dit or trouble If he does, Tompkins intends to take him to Boston for the national tournament
