winter boxing Of unusual promise
will be inAugurated b. Promoters
Frank Smith and Paddy Quinn.
The element Of luck is almost
certain to figure largely in'the out
come Of this bout between two Of
the likeliest lightweight contenders
in the ranks. Both are fighting
from the word 60, and both mix
boxing skill with the punch In
striving to win the verdict.

time 'Hanlon and Noye have met in

McFadden Karin.
Harry E. Kidd Of Sterling, man
ager Of Bud McFadden, who dealt
such a terrific beating to George
Cummings oflDavenport during the
last outdoor show at Douglas park,
writes The Argus that Bud is COM
ing to Rock Island to give frankie
SchoeTbrook q boxing lesson. Nc
Fadden and Schoerbrook are to
meet in the Ground semi-windup
and the clientele is assured one Of
the toughest mixups ever witnessed
In tri-city ring.
Kidd buzzes that Buds hand, in
jured in his pummeling Of Cum
rnings, has healed fully. How is
Cummings getting along" he in
quires. II sure hope that his in
juries were not as serious as first
reported and that they will not bar
him from the game in the future,
as he is a promising boy. Bud re-
grets having broken Cummings
jaw. But what could he do! The
referee would not stop the fight or
give Cummings the regulation
count and Cummings seconds kept
sending him back for more.
Detriment to Sport.
"Such things hurt the game and
should not be tolerated in such a
clean sporting city as Rock Island
in the general sporting field. The
reason Bud failed to show much in
that sixth round was because his
right hand was damaged badly aHd
gave him intense pain. Had it not
been for the injured member, Bud
might have struck Cummings SO
hard as to infiict a permanent in
jury, not merely q broken Jaw"
