Show '!. YOUNG m n A Hy GHILLK EXPERIENCE Al Young resumed tiaining this afternoon at the armory for his bout with Johnnie Dundee which has been postponed until next Tuesday night on account of the fact that the dato set originally was "Good Friday," being overlooked. The former Oltla-homa Oltla-homa youth wisely took a three-day lay-off this week to avoid going "Btale" and yesterday stated that the six days now left boforo tlo bout would give him plenty of time to make the weight, 135 pounds, again and bo in pci feet condition. "Al" had a chilling experience a few days ago which ho still romembors and speakers of whon in a talkatlvo mood. Ho had ropaired to the Pin-greo Pin-greo gymnasium at Twonty-slxth street and Jefferson avonue for a workout, intending first to tako a swim in the clear water of the plungo. "Yes," he was told, "tho water is all right, so in nature's attire he dove into tho pool." Ho still shivers whon ho tells about the feeling that came over him as his head touched the water, wa-ter, but there was no pulling back and he took his medicine as best he could. "It was liko taking a bath in the city water intako at Artesian park," he said yesterday, "and the next tinio I went into the pool, I made sure tho chill was off tho water. Tho party that told mo It was all right had forgotten for-gotten that the plungo had just been re-filled." The popular boxer took a long outing out-ing on tho road this morning and his afternoon work-outs will Include from six to oight rounds of sparring with "Red" Newey and Jimmy Johns. Monday Mon-day night, he was at the ringside at the Manhattan club in Salt Lake and attracted as much attention as the boxers within tho ropes. This is a good indication that tho Alhambra thoatro in Ogden will be the Mecca of the Salt Lake fans next Tuesday night. Dundee is expected to leave New York tomorrow for Ogden. |
