Old man Experience seems to come
once in tho career OF every fighter
and that means bad news for the fisti-
cuffcr. The other night Joe Benjamin

up against tho veteran Johnny Dun

much up against it,
when Jcffcrics was n tyro he was
scnt against Old Man Experience in
tho person OF little Joe Choynski. Tho
embryo great ono stacked his two
years experience against Joe's eleven
years In the ring. The best jeff could
get was n draw--snd the hardest wal
iop he ever received In his whole
career. Choynski also caught the
youthful Jack johnson with an edge
OF fifteen years In reasoning. johnson
was cicanly knocked out in three
rounds.
Gus Rubin with two years of ring
work tried 10 beat Kid Mccoy who
had served eight years ut tho game.
Rubin received fine whaling In
twenty rounds.
Jack Monroe had fought but eight

There is no doubt but this affair VIII
be a busy session and will not last
out the scheduled four rounds as both
of the boxers carry the knockout in
either hand and will open at top
speed from the tap of the bell.
Matchmaker Kinch will probably
have some added attractions to the

it is thought that wrestling and eN-

FIGHT FANS ARE ASSURED THREE
GOOD BOUTS AT P. A. c. TONIGHT

Ono Of the best attended fight cards,
is the prediction of the fans for >to-
nights bouts at the Pueblo Athletic
club at 2121a West Seventh street. The
three bouts scheduled is sure to give
the fans plenty of action and the Wain
event to decision between sugar
Willie Kcelcr and Jack Smith. heavy
weights, billed for twelve rounds is
looked forward to, as star attrac-
tion.
1leeler is the favorite in tonights
battle but there are many that believe
the hard hitting heavyweight from the
coast will slip over the Knockout be-
fore the limit has been reached. OF
the two men Keelcr is the faster and
his footwork with the short jabs he
can send in with sting makes the
Montrose battlcr the favorite in the
bout. Both men are in excellent shape
and should give the fight followers
one of tho best heavyweight battles
seen in this city.
The semiwindup between Kid Flank
and Joe Coffee will give the fans an
other thriller for speed and action,
and should be as Krea. an attraction
as the main go. Coffee finished his
training Saturday and looked better
than he has in any OF his previous
fights. 1t will be the first appearance
OF Coffee in the ring here for several
months and his many followers are
taking advantage OF the opportunity
to see the clever bantamweiEht
against a fast opponent.
