Field Boxing Card

From Ring; Kansas Fights
belmont; Other Bouts

Boxing will get away to a flying
start to-day, with five series of bouts
carded as Memorial Day attractions,
and right up to the time of the Demp-
Carpenter bout in Jersey City
fstic programs in local arenas will be
crowded. The thrush Of pugilists that
invariably precedes a championhip
bout, especially if the heavyweight title
is involved, soon will be at the flood
stage. Many of these boys will count
on earning expenses while here and,
accordingly, John Public is in for a
rare assortment of padded ring fes-
tivities.
Topnotchers in many divisions of the
fight game will offer their wares at
bargain prices to promoters, who are
not to be caught eff guard. Several
new clubs have hung up their shingles
in the last few weeks and several others
will open shortly. Many of those now
in business will run two shows a week
during June, and some already have
started the custom of double attrac-
tions.
The first pugilistic double-header of
the open-air season will be staged this
afternoon at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn,
where Tommy Gibbons, contender for
the worlds heavyweight championship,
and his brother Mike, the celebrated
ST. Paul phantom, have places OH the
same program. Tommy will swap
punches with Jack Clifford, recently of
the Dempsey camp, and Mike is to try
conclusions with Dave Rosenberg.
Added interest in the ball park at
traction has been created by the an
nouncement that Georges Carpenter,
who is to meet Dempsey in the affair
at Thirty Acres, will positively appear
and be introduced from the ring. Car
lyn by Francois Deschamps, his man
ager. The Frenchman has announced
that this will be his only publ's ap-
pearance before he meets Dempsey.
The purpose of his trip will be to
give Tommy Gibbons thorough in
spection, because he realizes that if he
wins from Dempsey the St. Paul heavy
weight will camp on his trail until he
gives him crack at the coveted laurel
wreath. The Gibbons brothers are
scheduled to travel route of twelve
rounds and in a third bout, also Of
twelve sessions, Andy CLANCY will take
on Dutch Brandt. The first bout will
be put on at 8 p. m.
Another stellar attraction to-day will
be the combat at Ivanh6e Park, Ridge
wood, in which Rocky Kansas, of Buff
Memphis, in a tifteen-round battle.
Kansas will meet Benny Leonard at
Harrison Field, N. J., next Monday in
a scrap that will involve the light
weight championship. If Kansas suf-
fers accident to-day it Is unlikely that
he will make the little journey to the
Skeeter State.
belmont is rough and ready boxer,
and if the Bufalonian escapes un-
scathed he may consider himself lucky.
Kansas appears to be taking big
chance by melting Gene at this time,
but he perhaps figures it would be no
use to tackle Leonard if belmont can
bowl him over. The Memphis boy says
Rocky is due for good trouncing to-
day, and he may be right.
Open-air shows will be given this
afternoon by the Brighton Beach
Sporting Club, Coney Island, and the
Brighton Club, Staten Island. &The
Freeport Auditorium will put on big
card tonight indoors.
Italian Joe Cans, who has been as
sisting Carpenter as sparring part
ner, will leave the Manhasset camp
tomorrow for trip to Woodhaven,
where he is billed to clash with Lou
Bcgash, the BRIDGEPORT welterweight,
in fifteen-round set-to, The Wood
haven Club is holding its bouts in the
open air at Dexter Park.
Bogash is tough boy and this alone
enables him to set killing pace. He
evidently holds italian Joe an unworthy
opponent, because Wednesday night
the Bridgeporter will call at the Broad
way Exhibition Association and he has
a little more to do than to leave his
I'd. His antagonist at the Broadway
low will be Walter Laurette. Walter
is a handful for any welterweight, and
after two such fracases it is doubtful if
Mrs, Bogash will recognize Lou when
he goes back home TO spend the week
end,
