' CLASSY IADS BOOKED 01 TOICfflll'S BILL Schuman vs. King, Davis vs. Hurley, Wright vs. Mid-kiff, Mid-kiff, Chief Bouts. Manager Downing of the Manhattan club will stage a double-header tomor-. row night at the Grand, in which Heinie 1 Schuman and Eddie King will tangle in one six-round bout and Kid Davis and Young Hurley, in the other. Besides these two battles,, a bout between middle mid-dle weights will bring together Ern Wright, the Murray fighter, and Battling Bat-tling Charlie Midkiff. . The only thing that Schuman has never demonstrated to the fans at the Grand is whether or not he can stand punishment. He has shown class and speed, and also that he carries a punish ing blow, although he could not be classed as a real dispenser of k. o. wallops, wal-lops, but he has never been called upon to meet a boy who was really tough and carried a punch such as King carries. car-ries. The fans therefore want to see how he will stand up under King's sledge-hammer drives. If he can take them without flinching, he is going to be a mighty tough boy for any of the lightweights to beat. Davis and Hurley had the fans on their feet for the entire four rounds last Monday night, and although the draw decision was probably the only verdict that could have been given, the friends of both boys contended that had the fight gone another two rounds their man would surely have brought home the decision. Kid Mack, now in the navy, who asked for a match with any of the local boys of his weight, would have met Hurley Hur-ley this week, but a wire to Manager Downing imparted the information that sickness in his command had resulted in his being quarantined until after March 15, hence Davis and Hurley will be given the opportunity to settle the question of supremacy. Young Azevedo, who took the measure mea-sure of all the best featherweights in this section, has wired Manager Downing Down-ing for a match, and the lad who makes the best showing tomorrow night may get the match for the following week. The match between Kid BlacHie and "Abie, the Fighting Yid," promises to surpass the main events ' in interest. Both of these boys have a big following follow-ing on the west side, and as they are old-time rivals, they arc out to win as qiuckly as possible. Carpenter Morris, the youngster from Murray, and Art Beard of Fort Douglas will furnish the amateur four-round mill, and the regulation amateur curtain raiser will start the show.
