CLANCY vs. Brown
George Chaney. of Baltimore. and
Harry Kid Brown. Of South Philadel
phia. are the ether lightwelghts who
are endeaVoring to emblazon their re
spectlVe monikers on the pugilistIc
horizon. Both are Junior lightweights,
weighing In the neighborhood of 13O
pounds at 2 o'clock. but this division
apparently doesn't mean anything.
There is lot of interest in tbe
Chaney Brown bout because of the nos .
sibiIity, as well ns the probability of
Knockout. Chaney's knockout WALTON
IL well known throughout the country,
and lot Of fans believe Brownie Ia due
for nap. On the other paw. Brown
has developed u terrific right handler and
his constituents feel the kid will repsa /
the feats of his stablemates, Tender
and Tiplitz.
The bantam battle will be between
Danny Kramer, Of this city and who has
been termed ''the punchin' fool -
and Charley 1edoux, the Frenchman
This will be a great battle, while II
lasts, and il may not go the entire dis
tance. I.edoux is tough lad but
Kramer possesses pile driving wallop.
