All Matches Appear Even.
There's one thing that seems Ia
make tonight's card stand out over
most OF those presented recently.
That's the apparent cvenncss OF the
opponents In every match. Take the
inain oventcrs. Sailor Ciinkner is
younger ami has been climbing rap
IDLY IN the last year but Reeves Tx
one OF the most rugged punchcrs
who evc stepped Into n ring In
Tulsa. and figures TO give and take
with Clinknor ana keep things hum
ming, Lincoln and Dean. the semi
flnalists. are two Of tho finest look
ing lightweights who have been seer
hero In some time, both young and
'roming, both sturdy. Keener aud
king, the initial 10-rounders. are a
pair OF well-cOndltloncd youths who
look like they could stand a whole
lot. Keener Is able TO take Warnie
Smiths jabs and uppercuts and keep
up, which In saying quite n bit. In
fact II appears that a real contest
rs the order In each of the three
main bouts.

Willingness to serve. Morris, n vet

iheavywelRhts, should do him good
Clickncr a Slight FRNoritc.
Reeves ana SAILOR Clickner ara
meeting at catchwcights, and the
sailor will have about six or seven
pounds the best OF II, according TO
unofficial reports. Reeves expects
TO enter the ring Weighing but a
pound or two over 100. while Clink-
ner win he nearer 40, This differ
once In weight coupled with tho fact
that Cilckner has bcon busy In hts
best year, during 1921. while Reeves
has had little real action, has made
the local entry u slight favorito over
his California opponent In hat 1T
tie betting there Is on the outcome,
which, by the way, Is not very much,
Reeves Tor tho last year has been
nursing and restoring TO normal an
injured right arm, having hrn6en
one OF the smaller bones I'm a bout
with Young Bob Fitsslmmons at
Dallas last January. He thinks II IL
az good as new, and in his only
recent bout, an Hffray with Young
Peterson a few weeks ago at Red
Lodge. Mont. no scored a pair or
knockdowns and won by a knockout
IN the fifth round.
Cllckner and Reeves arc both
boxers OF the aggressive type. They
are certain to make an Interesting
exhibition.
Lightwclghts Look Coed.
Fans who got a view OF Freddie
Lincoln and Frankie Dean In action
at the T. 4. c. gym In their work
out yesterday afternoon went away
convinced that the advance reports
on these two Differs were not over
drawn. They are well built light
weights and both show the results
Of steady training, one thing Co"-
tain Is that which ever n loses,
IL either does. win not give poor
condition aS an abb.
ono feature OF tonight's show viii
be the new faces" While CliCkner
and Reeves both have appeared in
Tulsa rings on several occasions
and always were returned winners,
by the way-they really win be new
because neither has boxed here In
a year. The others are all making
their debut. Not "a boxer Is on to-
nlght'a card who appeared on the
last O. @. a. G, program. Louis
Newman, matchmaker, believes the
A.. fans like TO see different faces. and
therefore congratulates himself on
