4. He was in good health aboard

meant that he was following the
custom of English sportsmen.
Two reports about the Prince, Cap

Fistic Matches At
The r & P Field

For a while the work OF the
matchmaker of the Holly Athletic
Association was easy because, being
well acquainted with the fighting
game and game fighters, he could
select men for matches without any
interference. However, since the
monthly fights of the Association
have become such a drawing cards
he has troubles of his own in giving
all the fighters who want to appear
in Mount Holly chance and at the
same time secure good attractions in
men who are evenly matched and
who are experienced fighters as the
local club has passed through the
preliminary stages and is now rated
as furnishing the best of the out
door fstic attractions.
The battles on Friday night, Au-
gust 9Th will again be staged at the
Mount Holly Ball Park. In case OF
rain August 8, the attraction will be
postponed until Monday night, Au-
gust IL, at the same time and place
For the opening attraction of six
rounds, Rocky Ford, of Philadelphia,
has been matched with the Camden
whirlwind, Young frankie belmont
These boys fight at 124 pounds.
Eddie CLANCY, from the Whitman
Park section of Camden, has been
booked again and this time he will
meet another Camdenite in frankie
O'Hanlon, who dosen't know what
it is to be knocked out and is ex-
pected to give CLANCY the battle OF
his young life. CLANCY has been
getting away with things pretty
easily and if he is as fortunate when
he meets O'Hanlon he can be classed
as some pug. They will go six
rounds and weigh in at 1873 pounds.
The next performers need no in
PRODUCTION to Mount Holly audien-
ces. They are Eddie Fisher, of Riv-
erside, and Johnnie DeMarco, OF
Newark, both lads having met be-
fore and SO close was the battle that
even the best informed ringside fol-
lowers hesitated about giving an
opinion as to the winner, although
the newspaper decision slightly fav-
ored Fisher.
In the semi-windup, eight rounds
another Mount Holly favorite will
appear in the person of Harry Lar
son, of Philadelphia, who will meet
Willie young" Virgins, of Tren-
ton, and at 1873 pounds they cannot
be beaten. Larson gave good &C
count of himself at the armory last
winter when the bouts were first
started by the members of old Co,
E, and he gained in popular favor
ever since by some of the stirring
battles he has put up in Philadelphia
and vicinity. Virgins packs wal
lop in either hand.
The wind-up brings together Al
Holman, of Riverside, who has
justly earned his right to appear in
leading attractions and in the last
place on a fight program by con-
scientious hard work, and his oppon-
emit will be the well known Jackie
Lester, of Philadelphia, who takes
on all Corners and steps aside for
none. This battle should prove 9
fitting finish to a high class pro-
gram.

hard by the Delanco batsmen, but
had he received anywhere near per-
