substituted for Joe Lynch and de-
feated Joe Schwartz, of Detroit, in
Scranton, Pa. He fought Spike Sui
livan, of Syracuse, in Albany, and
won the judges decision after ten
rounds of battling. Sullivan took
four counts in this bout. A short
time later, Sinclair added a victory
over Kid Walsh, colored champion.
One of Sinclair's most notable vic
tories was scored in Philadelphia
over Harvey Bright, an experienced
featherweight. His successes to date
give his followers plenty of conf
dence that he is following in the
footsteps of the great McGovern."
Hard Hitter
In his local debut, Sinclair will
encounter none other than the hard
socking Charley FSyder Staten IL
and's great southpaw fighter. About
a month ago, Ryder kayoed Patsey
Nelson, of Newark, in the third
round of a scheduled eight round
bout put on by the National Club
matchmaker. Ryder has numerous
other knockouts to his credit and
has fought a great many of the best
boys in his division. The southpaw
has a big following on Staten Island
and also in Elizabeth.
Matchmaker Poulsen is working
on the balance of the program at
the present time.
Better handling of the crowd is
guaranteed for the next show of the
club.

Saturday afternoon, only three of
the regular lineup will be eligible
