Both Are on Trial.
Both OF these men are on trial I'm

and Dempsey. Grcb would fight
either man and Is very anxious to

Grcb. II he finishes him the Glib
bons stock will 20 soaring and there
will be an actual demand for a Glib
bons-Dcmpscy fight.
While this battle is the feature OF
the weeks card, there are many
others that are highly interesting.
Charley White was booked with
Benny Leonard I'm New York, but
the latter injured his thumb in a
bout with Pal Moran in New Or
leans and had To call the fight off.
white May Get Setback.
Johnny Dundee was substituted
and will meet the textbook artist
from Chicago In New York Friday
night. They met a short time ago
In Boston and white got the de-
cisiOn. but Dundee hackers claimed
the Scotch wop was robbed. This
bout should settle the argument.
II Dundee gets the verdict It will
be setback to White, who is in
line for a bout with Leonard IL he
doesn't lose I'm the meantime.
Down at Wichita Thursday night
Billy Britton and Pat walsh, pair
Of hnrd-hitting middleweights, will
meet for 10 rounds. They fight along
about the same lines and should put
up about the best battle Wichita has
had.
Hugh Walker is taking on another
tough one in meeting BARLEY Mad

Madden Is the heavyweight who
gave Tommy Gibbons "A hard fight
In the same ring.
