sent its weekly Athletic and musical
entertainment in Pythian Castle to-
night The show is expected TO be
one OF the best Of the season, al
though one disappointment is in
store for the fans. Indeed Olen
Hackett, the clubs matchmaker. last
evening received a long-distance
phone call from Johnny Perkins the
popular South Philadelphia BAN
tam weight that his mother had just
died. Many Wilmington fans will
be sorry to hear this as Perkins is a
great favorite in this city. AS soon
as the local matchmaker heard of
Perkins misfortune Hackett inn
mediately got busy and secured the
famous Joe Belmont. OF Philadel-
phia, to oppose Carney. Belmont
needs no introduction TO local fans,
as all who saw him In action here
| three weeks ago know he Is the
classiest fighter ever sent here from
Philadelphia. on his last appear
ance here Belmont gave Kid John
son an artistic boxing lesson on the
Pythian stage and many fans think
he will turn the table on Carney
although he will find a different
proposition tonight than he found
on his last visit here. Tonight's fight
will mark Carney's FIRST bout here for
over two months.
The semi wind up brings together
Mickey Norris the los 10. cham
pion OF Wilmington and battling
Gan, OF Philadelphia, who comes
here with a good reputation. In
Mickey he meets a kid who can
hit like a mule. Mickey Is in great
shane having worked out daily al
he keystone Field Club for the past
two weeks.
The main preliminary brings TO-
rether Jimmy ireland. a great fav-
orite in this city and Jimmy Decker,
Of Philadelphia. who comes here
highly recommended by Happy Jack
NcWilliams. Decker formally box
ed under the name Of John Kelly
and won amatuer tournaments be-
fore he entered the professional
game. Happy says Decker viii give
ireland the fight Of his life.
The third bout brings together
Johnny Traub the sensational Ches-
ter lad who has always made good
in this city and Johnny Bell. Of Phil
adelphia. This pair Of hard hitting
bantams should furnish six red hot
rounds.
The second number will mark the
return bout between Bucky Nc
Ginnis, Of this city, and Willie Kline,
Of South Philadelphia. These two
boys recently put up one Of the most
sensational bouts ever witnessed in
this city and tonight's should be
reproduction Of their former 20.
Kline requested the matchmaker to
put him on. claiming he could
knock him out. II Kline succeeds IL
! will be the first time McGinnis ever
/ was stopped in his career.
0 The opening bout brings together
Al. Cross and Joe Wendt two former
