Villas.
The two bouts, will be the main at
fractions at the Garden on the night
Of November 1s. Goldstcin and Villa
are carded for the main event, which
is scheduled to so fifteen rounds.
Bernstein and Flores meet in the SEMI
final of twelve rounds.
b Goldstein was one of tho first fight
ers to meet Villa after his arrival
from the Philippines. They met in
Jersey City where no official decisions
are rendered. 1t was q fast and furi-
GUS encounter.
Flores, patterned a great deal after
his fellaw islander, has not Jared so
we'll in this country as has Pancho,
but he il tough boy, at that. He is
unquestionably in for tough eve
ming when he mixes with Bernstein.
Possible Leonard Opponent
In boxing circles it is generally
believed that the winner Of the Char
ley Whitc-Sid Marks battle at the Gar
den tomorrow night will be matched
with Benny Leonard for the light
weight championship of the world.
This important affair will probably
take place in the Garden some time
in February.
With tho possible exception of Lew
Tender, Charley White is the most
formidable contender knocking at the
door Of Benny's throne-room. He is
unquestionablY at the peak Of his ca
reer right now and if he should de-
molish the dangerous Sid Marks to-
morrow night by knockout or by a
lari L 4
for Leonard to ignore his challenge.
Leonard and White were matched to
meet at Boyle's Thirty Acres several
weeks ago, but the match was called
OF at the last minute by Billy Gibson,
Leonards manager, who announced
that the champions mouth was in
such bad shape, due to trouble with
his teeth, that he had been forbidden
by his dentist to go through with the
bout. In the belief of many experts
this fight, if it had taken place, would
have witnessed the transfer of the
lightweight crown from Benny's dome
to that of Charley White.
White will arrive here to-day from
Chicago on the Twentieth Century
Limited, and will Immediately 60 to
work IN the Madison Square Garden
gymnasium to put on the last touches
night. Tex Rickard said yesterday that
ne felt himself in position to guarantees
the winner of this fight match with
Benny Leonard.

be the lightweight champion of Canada.
he has had something of meteoric
career since starting his fstic activi-
ties in New York. He came here short

charge from the British navy. in which
ne served during the war. He has
knocked out Eddie Walsh, Johnny Muir
ray and Bobby Barrett, and handed 3

veteran lightweight, although the
Judges called this match draw.
Semt-Final Looks Good
A scrap that seems to be ATTRACTING
as much attention and which is caus.
ing Tar more betting than the main
event W. IS the semi-final between Bobby
Z, nlchaels and Andy Thomas. Along
nIoaoWay Yesterday it was reported
been wagered on this scrap. On shs
proposition that the fight does not %
tne limit of twelve rounds they were
nettlng even money yesterday. This
seems to be a good bet any wav ono
looks at it, as both boys carry ruinous
Wallops. Michaels, an ungainlv and
awkward sort of a fighter, is one of
she most remarkable scrappers now
doing business. He has wiexsd
punch that he manages to land in
weird fashion, and when it reaches the
iiaFA sne ngnt Is generally over.
