Tho fans aro looking forward to a great night a milling. ... ,, The headllner oout between Danny O'Brien nnd Jlmmle Brown of Ogdon. formerly a well known boxer cf Denver, will bring out one of the cleverest boys ever seen In Salt Lake ngalnH one of tho toughest and hardest hittlnc boxers In the west. i t O'Brien has demonstrated that ho Is In a class 'by himself when It comes down to real cleverness, hut ha lacks the punch to put his opponenta away, and It was noticeable In his bout wlth'MIdklft that he had difficulty In keeping out of harm's way, and a. great ninny at tho ringside wero of tho opinion that If the bout had gone over a longer route Mld-klft Mld-klft would nave brought home the nionoy. In last Monday night's bout Brown proved that ho was every hit as tough as Mldklff and that he could hit oven harder, so it can be readily seen that O'Brien Is going to have his troubles In keeping out of tha way of this hard hitter, hit-ter, as hn will be In 50 per cent bettor shape for this bout than he was last Monday. The seml-wlndup bout betwein Al Schrader and "Slim" Murphy will :brlng out a. pair of clever boxers who also have a. good punch. Schrader will have the advantage of a coUplo of years' experience experi-ence over tho Ogden youngster, bun tho latter has shown wonderful natural boxing box-ing ability and hitting powers. "Kid" JSmmett of the Harman club and .Bert .Lewis of Los Angolos should also furnish a clever little bout if the boy from the golden state Is as good as ho Is reputed to be. Johnnie Gilbert of tho Harman club and "Kid" Kelley, who says he halls from Philadelphia, should furnish a slam bang mll that will keep the fans on their feet while It lasts, as Gilbert Is one of those boys who bellevo In having tho thing over with In & hurry and coine3 out of his corner milling and never stops nntll he or the other fellow has had enough. A bput seldom goes the four rounds with him. Lester Griffiths nrtd "Kid" Fisher should furnish a classy little bout In the bantamweight division, &s Griffiths Won the amateur championship of this city a couple of years ago, while Fisher claims, to have won the same honor in ono of the large clubs in New York two years ago. This will be .F.ishor's first bout here and there Is no way of telling how good he Is until he Is seen In action, as many1 a boy looks good In the gymnasium who la a failure In the ring. Tho other two bouts will bring out some of the reliable millers of the Manhattan Man-hattan club who have performed a number num-ber of times beforo and can always be depended upon to put up a whirlwind battle as long aa It lasts, Taken as a whole, tho card looks like ono of the most interesting thnt will have ever been staged by tho Manhattan club, and from the advance sale of scats It looks as though the boya would play to a capacity ca-pacity house. |
