Tillman Bout At
 B. A. C. Monday IsFinley'sChan

The old-timers tell a tale of a man who rode with the Rough Rid CTS" year after year without receiv- ing a scratch in any one of his hun dred battles or more. only to fall from his horse and break his neck while riding to church one bright spring morning.
 Johnny Tillman, Chicago dealer in punches, has ridden with the big ones in pugilsm for a long time now, and the rough stuff has served cnly to swell his name and add to his fame in boxing. Monday night he rides to church with Jimmy Fin ley, so to speak, and fandom is won dering whether the veteran will slip from his pedestal while in the com only youngster, and the step ladder Han.
 In other words, Johnny Tillman, nationally known pugilist from Chi cago, meets young Jimmy Finley at the B. A. c. Monday night, and through 10 rounds of battling, Jim my will have his chance to win fame and recognition by toppling the veteran Tillman over.
 TilIman n Top NOtcher.
 Johnny Tillman has probably met as many top notch battlers as any ringster the B. A. c. has\ever billed in headline bout. Listed among his late opponents are Johnny Dun dee. featherweight champion; Jack Britton, former welterweight champ; Benny Leonard. lightweight title holder; Sailor Freidman, top notch lightweight battler, and others. Till man recently defeated Friedman in a bout at New Orleans, further adding to his ring laurels.
 Jimmy Finley has been coming to the fore rapidly, and should prove a real menace to Tillman. Jimmy is only youngster, and the step ledder of success leads upward. not down ward. With his youth, his stamina ! and aggressiveness. there's a chance for him to sweep Tillman off his feet. and thereby win national prom thence in the ring game. It will be Finley's chance. and Tillman, vet eran of the Rough Riders" of ring dom. must watch his step, else stumble and fall to the ground. The Tillman- Finley bout is the outcome of quite bit of matchmak- ing. postponements. substitutions and cancellations. John McGinty was first billed as Finley's foe. but John ny has bad eye, and that bout fell through. Then Warnie Smith of Chi cago was billed to substitute for McGinty. Matchmaker Dave Evans found out something or other about Smith. and decided that Johnny Till man would make a better foe for Finley.
 Hints of Rivalry.
 Recently Max Scholder and Kid Pacely wrestled through a .gruelling bout to draw at the B. A C. and thereby arose the argument as to which was the better man. The out come of 1t all is that Pacely and Scholder have decided the only way to determine the thing is to fight it out.
 Well, you're heavier than am; maybe you can throw me-" asserted Max.
 T agree with you" returned Pace ly, and from his expression it could be seen that he didn't attribute it to weight, either.
 But I can mop up the canvass with you in boxing" was Scholders thrust, but Pacely came right back at him with No, you cant, either."
 And that settled it. Monday night Pacely and Scholder will box three rounds. A boxing match to decide wrestling grudge, that's quite an in novation, railbirds probably think.
 The preliminary card hasn't been announced yet, but the first bout will start at S:30 o'clock Tickets are on sale at the B. A. c. now.
