Show use TO BOX PAT GILBERT MONDAY Clever Lightweights Will Go Six Rounds for Manhattan Man-hattan Club. A classy battle is scheduled for the Manhattan club next Monday night, when Ilardv Downing will put. on a niv-round niv-round bout between tho lightweight kinguins of Utah and Idaho, Young Gilbert Gil-bert and Lee Morrissey. Both boys have been going good this fall and neither has ( sot worse than a draw for a considerable considera-ble time. As Morrissey contemplates a trip to the const, he wishes first to annex the local state title, so that ho may im- i press the coast promoters with his ster- , lino: worth. Willie St. Claire, the Sacramento colored col-ored boy who caused Kid Rromeo no little lit-tle worrv in last week's Manhattan club session. Is billed to go up against the local lighting fireman. Bob Moore, who 'has been in retirement so far this season sea-son but reports himself in good trim and' ready to take the colored boy into camp. St. Claire put up on especially fine scrap last week in view of the fact that his right thumb had been split in training train-ing and he used his left almost exelu- ; sively. The Kid Bromeo-Eddl King Pet-to should bo a humdinger. In order to appease the demand for heavier action. Matchmaker Downing , has decided to put on Ned Young and Swede Johnson. Now Ned, since bis timely come-back some three weeks ago. ; has been eating them alive. Swede is no : slouch himself and never goes better than when up against a man with Ned's style. It certainly ought to be a battle. ' - The khaki wearers at the fort are all agog over the bout between Jack Ellis of the war prison guard and Jeff Clark of tho Forty-third infantry. i As usual, there will be a curtain --raiser between two aspiring amateurs, who may or may not show class, but practically always do start the show off with a good laugh. |
