Show BOXING IN SALT .' LAKE STILL ALIVE Alvarado-Sullivan Go Is Off. bat Nearly Half Dozen Others Are Scheduled for Near Future. Boxing is anything but dead in these parts. The unusually strenuous and virtuous vir-tuous attitude of the county authorities for a time threw a sort of wet blanket over the game here, but certain sundry kicks under the blanket show that the game is still alive and busy. Alvarado, the scrappy little Mexican, who has .had some of the best men on the coast fall for him, will not meet Pete Sullivan at Lark, as arranged, because the Mex is preparing to put up the battle bat-tle of his life in the next few weeks, and doesn't want to take chances of getting bunged up. There isn't anything like a yellow streak in the Astec, as some backbiters claim. He is ready and willing to take on Sullivan or any other top-notcher at any time,- for any purse, at any place. He's as game as the sore-leg of a Jack-rabbit, Jack-rabbit, and aa fast. The Mex is willing to let any good one find the yellow streak in the Indian, but there'll be some tall scratching before 'tis done. Inside of a few weeks fight-fests will be as thick around here as flies on a plate of 'lasses. Alvarado expects to 1 meet Joe Green soon, Pete Sullivan takes on three men at Bingham tomorrow night. Kid Bernstein (he's still in it) is going to meet somebody, gasping .under the name of Young Sharkey, and there's no telling but Dick Hyland may be framed up socm with a good one. |
