Show CARD TDMOHROW Eddie rcKenr?a and Fighting Fight-ing George Booked for . Manhattan Headliner. i. The Manhattan club card at the Hippodrome Hippo-drome theater tomorrow night will carry seven , bouts, an addition cf one four-rounder four-rounder to give the Jans tho same number num-ber of rounds of milling as whei there Is a "triple header." Inasmuch as "triple header" material, is shy this week, Promoter Pro-moter Downing added this extra bout. Tho headliner, of course, is a sextuple clash, and brings m Fighting George, 'who always gives the fans plenty of action, ac-tion, and Eddie IVJcKenna, former Deu-verite, Deu-verite, who is being brought here from Seattle. McKenna has met practically ail of the topnotch feathers on the western rim of the continent and has made a I wonderful showing. Hddie is no stranger here, as he visited us in tho old days and took the measure of suUi classy feathers as Kid .Enimett and Glen Gatke. George Is in fine fettle and will make his adversary ad-versary hit the ball ail the time. The semifinal, between hard-hitting Jack White and the old -time whirlwind, Battling Johnson, should be a humdinger. These boys were matched a few weeks ago, but the Battler had a contest on with rtiekness and couldn't appear. Jack made them all take the count hereabouts in the middlov-"t?ght class until last week, when K. O. Brown managed to stay t a draw. This week he doesn't meet a freak fighter fight-er like K. O., but tangles 1 with a man after his own style, and those who remember re-member Johnson's snectacmar battles in ihe local arena are looking forward to a trea t. Clint Rch.-rf, a hard-hitting soldier i from Fort Douglas, tai gles with Blackie ! Malin of Oguen, who chopped In a couple of weeks ago and slipped ihe k. o to his opponent in double-quick time. This time he will meet a hoy who packs a wallop of his own, and things should begin be-gin happening right smart after the gong rings. Willie-Wise, one of tlie comers at the 1 club, also takes on a Junction City boy In Harry Lane, the classy boxing brother j of Jack Ryan. Harry showed plenty of i the fancy stuff in his former match here, and it remains to be tjecn whether he is , capable of keeping away from Willie i Wise, who Is clever himself and also tctes i a punch. ! Two new mi ddleweights are next on the , bill Charles Willis and Walter White. Willis appears with a number of local ; sponsors for his ability, and White is i a brother of redoubtable Jack. So it Is ! up to Willis to start in on the dark horse i of the White family, and if he can clear I him. then Brother Jack gets a chance to ! hold up the family honor. Walter has j been working out with Jack and Is In j tophole condition. ; Kddie Kesler takes on Al Nowell in I the first prelim, and, judgii.g from Kes-! Kes-! ler's pre vious battles here, he will start something right off the reel, and this j Newell boy will have to dig in all the time. To start the ball rolling the usual three-round three-round amateur curtain-raiser will come on at exactly S. 30 p m. |
