Full Card
For Lively
Boxing Bout
by E. M. b


There IS no question that the card
that will be put on Saturday night
by the Libby Athletic Club will be 9
big success.
For the past week carpenters have
been at work on the ring and seats
There will be about 200 reserve seats
and standing room for about the same
number. The reserve seats are on sale
and from the way they are going il
looks like sell out The club has been
under heavy expense in landing this
show and it is hoped that the people
will turn out. You don't need to worry
as to the entertainment; it is going
to be bang up affair from the first
bell
Young Peter jackson, the colored
flash from Portland, will be in town
today. He has been in hard training for
this scrap. He does not under-rate
jess and says that the battle will be
= good one. His manager says that the
fight will not go beyond the sixth
round and that Peter will win by the
Knockout route. That surely listens
nice but bark to what Wizards hand
lers say. Jess will take the colored
boy and the show will find Peter flat
on his back with Russell tolling off the
fatal ten count" and that this will
all happen in the fourth round. That
spells but one thing, namely that we
are going to see action and plenty
Both OF these big fellows will be start
ing them from the floor and when they
land and they will, it will be just too
bad for the guy on the receiving end.
Jess is in fine shape The boys who
are sparring with him tell us he is
greatly improved over his last fight,
that his timing is as near perfect as
possible, and that he is carrying an
awful wallop in either NIT. 1t has been
hard work to get sparring partners for
Jess. He uses them up as fast as they
want to crawl under the ropes. If you
want to see the big fellow in action
drop round to the Opera house and
look him over He is going great guns
and 1t is our opinion that he will put
up scrap that will make the old
home town talk for month.
Now what can we expect from Jack
son? All we know about this fellow
Is what wa read in the papers and
by talking to fellows who have seen
him in action. Shorty WEIGH has wit
messed him in action couple of times.
Il anybody knows scrappers it Isl
Shorty. Losten to what he says: Jack
son is every inch fighter; he is fast,
.ricky and throws punches from any
angle; he fights best when he gets
stung." When we asked Shorty to pick
he winner, he said, II wouldn't bet al
plugged nickle on the outcome. 1t will
De case of who can stand the most
punishment" From that we are sure
he colored boy will hold up his end
Here are few side lights on some
If his former scraps, taken from coast,
papers
Young Peter jackson, Portland
negro, staged game come back after
icing floored twice in the first round
md won the decision over Ted Synder,
lavy boxer, in the four round special
Iackson's gameness and a peculiar
lyle made hit with the crowd"
Lone Wolf Mcdonald and Peter
Jackson put up slashing six round
contest in which both fighters fought
N give and take basis and as hard
IS they could Mcdonald was given the
lod, but the decision did not seem to
'lease all the fans Both used straight
eft effectively and time after time
heir heads were knocked back as the
esult Of the hard punches landed. Al
hough the bout was close, Mcdonald
eemed to have the edge
Jackson has been fighting at the
ate Of one scrap per week He has
'een winning most of his fights by the
& o., route and that he will be out
