oo SAILOR JACK SMITH TO MEET D01I Developments in the Jim Downlng-Sallor Downlng-Sallor Jack Smith bout at the Eagles' gvm next Tuesday indicate that these boys are getting up a man-sized opinion opin-ion of each other's inability to do anv damage and expect to put over a kayo slam most any time after the third session. The Sailor is going after his training as though he had a hundred thousand dollar purse hung up with Jess Willard across the ring and Downing is also working himself. Downing however, thinks it will be a surprise party instead of a boxing match if he doesn't put the Sailor down in four rounds. "I will be the most surprised sur-prised chap that ever came from Tremonlon," he said today, "if the Sailor doesn't go to sleep before the fifth round. He can fight, maybe so. but I am confident that I can stop him In the approved fashion and nothing more need be said." Smith is also quite confident that ho can deliver a sleeping potion to Down-lng's Down-lng's brain and is working on this theory. the-ory. "I have been in quite a number of tough scraps and this Downing boxer box-er doesn't seem any worse than many of the others. I will get his number early iu the fight and the fans will sec a big man do a neat drop when this boy goes down." Manager Carlllo will make arrangements arrange-ments for the accommodation of a ccord -breaking crowd at the gymnasium gymna-sium Tuesday. nrt,
