The centre of pugilistic interests shifts
tonight TO the Pioneer Sporting Club,
where a middeweight bout that
should prove attractive Will be staged
Battling ortega, 100 FOUNDER from the
roast with an excellent reputation will
meet Frank Carbone. the oomhatiVe
cavalryman, in a fifteen round bout.
Ortega Is regarded by coast enthu-
siasts as the next mldd,eweight cham
nion, provided ne can get match with
Wilson, and Carbone Is looked upon as
merely stepping stone to the Caiifor-
nian. Ortega has not been tested by any
formidable Eastern middleweights and
hts victory over George Chip does not
furnish a basis for comparison. The
former champion has little of his original
stamina and lighting ability, and any
youngster should defeat him.

Lewis on the coast a few years ago, and
that is all that Is known of the youth.
