A rare treat Is in store for the fistic
fans Monday night at the Athletic

A. c. and Sailor Blanque of New Or
leans tie up in a ten-round encounter.
Blanque has been tried and proven TO
local fans when he fought Dummy
Darlington a sensational ten-round
draw at the Athletic club last Septem-
Der. Since then Blanque has been
fighting regularly and improving in
every fight so that the fans tomorrow
night can rest assured that they will
see the same fighting Blanque as they
did a year ago.
Blanque is noted for his ability to
assimilate punishment as well as give
1t, and Allen will have to be in the
pink of condition to stay the limit
with him. Allen, who is making his
debut before local fans Monday will
have his big chance to show what he
Is made of as he is tackling one of the
toughest lightweights in the south to-
day. Those who have seen Allen work
out in the gym have pronounced him
the goods and stand ready to back
him against any lightweight in the
south.
Allen Speedy.
His chief stock in trade is speed,
although it is said that he carries
a hefty wallop too. Practically all
who have seen Allen work out seem
to be convinced that If he can stand
the gaff he can take Blanque in camp
But in taking Blanque in tow Allen
is going to have his hands full. How
ever from all indications it will be a
fight worth going to see A real high
CLASS preliminary bill has been ar
raI geo to proceed the main event
In the semi-final of six rounds Frank
Chestain will take on Albert Rose of
New Orleans. Rose, who will also be
making his initial bow to local fans,
COMES here heralded as speed mer-
chant, but lacks a wallop
Championship Bout.
AS an added attraction a negro
heavyweight bout has been arranged
IN bringing together 'Gunshot," who
tipo the beam at 200 pounds and
Battling Miles of Chattanooga. who
weighs 220 pounds. Both men lay
ciaim to be the logical contender for
the colored heavyweight title of the
south, which is now held by Harry
Wills. If these duskies will battle as
they say they can, it ought to be a real
hight and worth seeing.
Claude Wilson will swap punches
with Hollis Arnold in a three-round af-
fair in an effort to settle a long stand
Ing grudge. Both of these youngsters
have trained hard and faithfully for
this go and will no doubt put UP an in
teresting argument. In the curtain

boy marvel of the Boys club. will
meet Young Milton of the B. A. c.,
