Monda night's boxing show of the Manhattan Athletic club In the Garrlck tlieatr will undoubtedly break all attendance at-tendance records and promlsos to bo tho bosii sport that the local boxing fans luyvo ever had tho opportunity of wlt-rfesslng. wlt-rfesslng. The show will mark tho third mooting of tho Frampton Athletic club and the Manhattan club to decldo the boxing championship of tho city. Manager Downing is Increasing the capacity of tho house. Elevated scuts havo beon put up on the north and cast sido ot tho stage, which will accommodate about 300. The free list will bo entirely suspended for tho night. All of tho boxers whom Downing Down-ing useB from week to wook will bo taken care of as usual, hut they will havo to be contented with balcony scuts. Heretofore u. number of persons have been passed In nnd allowed to stand 011 the stage, but Monday night there will be no standing room on tho stage and posi tively no one will be pormltted to go on tho stago without a sent check with the excoptlon of tho boxers who are on the night's card and their seconds. Tho bouts promise to be tho greatest ever staged anywhore, not only from a class standpoint, but also from a point of enthusiasm, ns the members of both clubs aro out to demonstrate their right to the title of city champions and have been propartng for the meeting for the last two or threo weeks. Tho Framptons have been getting their boys In line slnco the last mooting of the clubs about a month ago and have had Peter Sullivan, at one time the classiest lightweight boxer in this section, sec-tion, working out with the lads and teaching them the fine points of the game. His services will no doubt be a great help to the west sldors and should make them a niurh moro formidable formida-ble bunch than they were at tho last two mootlngs of the clubs. The Manhattan hns also strengthened Its lineup In a number of places. In fact, .Manager Downing has practically a different dif-ferent team than his former one. The only old man on the bill will bo New Young, tho prldo of the club, who brought homo tho main event for tho Manhattans ot tho last meetinSi when he stopped Karron In a round. Tho I'ramptons arc confident that with Sullivan working with Knrren ho has taught him enough to rc-verso rc-verso tho decision over Young. Tho "Young" Papke-TIarry Shaffer go Is also causing no end of argument, nnd this promises "to be tho most stubbornly contested bout of tho evening. Both clubs are counting on winning this contest con-test and, as the result of the match will probably rest In these two bouts, nntural-ly nntural-ly the greator Interest Is being manifested mani-fested in them. The meeting of "Kid" "Emmctt of the Framptons and "Kid" Sandy of the Manhattans Man-hattans to decide the bantamweight title is also causing much talk and will be watched with considerable Interest. The west sldcr will havo somewhat tho advantage ad-vantage over Sandy In experience, but the latter showed some real class in his only bout and Downing thinks ho will be able to hold his own with Emmott. "Battling" Travis and "Young" Ma-loney Ma-loney will represent tho 125-pound class and, as they are well-known performers, the fans are looking for a whirlwind contest, con-test, with honors about even. Ben Judd of the Manhattan will meet Jack Meyers for the welterweight title, and, as they are both newcomers In the local boxing game, this bout will be somewhat of an unknown quantity, although al-though both sides Eay their man will prove a sensation. Tho curtain raiser will bring out Joe Bishop, who lias had one bout, and "Yountr Battling" TCelson. a lightweight, who will make his debut. |
